Nick, says a lot of good things, but has a lot to learn about what a real Christian is. Politics is not the reason America has gotten further and further away from God, it is the liberal pulpit. It is caused by those who stand in the pulpit every Sunday and say what the "itching ears want to hear". This is what has caused America's downfall, and put wicked men in charge. You can't reform politics, until the church repents.
These pastors are the same ones who will not rebuke someone like Nick for his filthy language. "Out of the heart, the mouth speaks". He may have some Christian views, (of which I commend), and call himself a Christian, but filth doesn't repeatedly come out of the mouth of a true Christian, because Christians obey the word of God, "let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouth" and that includes cussing.
As for the Jews, Jesus went to them first, not because they were the most Holy people on earth and deserved the blessing of having the Messiah come to them first, but just the opposite. He came to the Jews first, because they were in more need of redemption than the rest of the world. They had the law and the prophets, the synagouges and teachers, yet they were the biggest hypocrites on the planet, for they "honored Him with their lips, but their hearts were far from Him", just like modern American "christians".
