PORTRAIT OF A DICTATOR

Within his short career, Huey Long had wrought a revolution in his own state and threatened to extend it to the whole of the country. Long is a controversial figure who has aroused fervent enthusiasm and almost complete hatred. He had been hailed as the saviour of the poor and the oppressed, but more often denounced as a dictator, the harbinger of American fascism, and even as the potential Mussolini of America.

--Peter King 

Most of you did not know Huey Long. He was a fascist and a dictator near the middle of the 20th century who was assassinated before he could impose his will and ambition on the entire nation.

All of you know Donald Trump. He has announced he will be a dictator. Mussolini and Hitler did not last long. Huey Long did not get to impose his fascist agenda. Trump won't become a Hitler if the Evangelicals deny him the opportunity. Talk to Evangelicals about the scriptures and their duty to do the morally right thing.
