It is, however, fairly consistent with the Biblical witness. And another reason Reinhold Niebuhr was so skeptical about America being “blessed.”Romney’s theology here is simultaneously not that uncommon and a bit unusual for an elected official to layer into a speech: The idea that God blesses America only when it deserves it, as opposed to blessing it because the nation is simply been chosen by God. https://t.co/zU80FJHoWh

Which also explains why Niebuhr was a publicly respected theologian for such a brief time. Largely immediately after WWII. Things were different then; briefly.
