Government or no one in it is going to save our souls. But a godly man could save our country. We have things exactly backward. I want a President who is always conscious of the fact that there is someone he is accountable to other than voters
Never thought I’d see the day on FR when an anti-Christian vanity thread was allowed to stand.
Progress! Forward!
**** Which of all the candidates in both parties would you trust select the best nominees to the Supreme Court? ****
After John Roberts with Obamacare, not Ted Cruz. He was a big supporter of John Roberts.
Being born in Canada does not necessarily mean you are born outside of the allegiance of the US.
Were you prescient enough to warn conservatives? Any proof would make you more credible.
And you think that Trump, with his talk of working with the Democrats, with his claiming to work successfully with Pelosi and Reid, with his history of donating to Democrats, would nominate an actual conservative?
We need a veto proof Senate ... to keep the dictator in line ... if you will
/8^)
I appreciate you sharing your opinion.
This is a discussion of how effective a Christian only (which was not the basis for the original post, yet it is being interpreted as such ... (which, BTW, are not my words, but words that came down on my FB page) and I thought worthy of contemplation, and debate
And we're doing beautifully, imo
And why SHOULDN'T an intelligent debate stand ?
If you claim to be a Christian and have never questioned whether you were saved or not ... I'd revisit your salvation experience
God asks us to "Come, let us reason together ..." ... use the brains he gave us
The Bereans discussed these things daily
Do you think everybody always said "Amen" to every word ?
We're a long way from a smaller more efficient government ... go visit the DMV
Thanx ... jump in
Exactly. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
The current president is doing everything in his power to bring America down:
It's time to take our country back! We need an executive -- someone who both loves the country and has run large organizations before and delivered results.
I'm sorry. The Cuban freshmen senators (Rubio and Cruz) talk a good game, but they do not have the experience! They are creatures of politics, not captains of industry, job creation, and good decision making.
We need street smarts so we can create jobs and restore the proper civil society. What do these guys know about life in the real economy? They have never held real jobs. These guys are just Magnificent Office Seekers -- young and ambitious lawyers just like Zero.
You can appreciate the good work Cruz has done to fight the Establishment and still recognize that he's not ready to be president. In fact, in recent weeks we've seen plenty of examples of his poor judgement.
If Cruz and Rubio were real patriots, they would step aside recognizing that Trump is by far the better man for the job. But no, they don't think like that. They say, I've been in the Senate two years so that qualifies me to run the country! The hubris of these guys is truly astonishing and troubling.
And in the end, they are puppets of the deep pocket donors who created them. Half of what they promise us today will not be done. They will make decisions that are wrong for America, but perfect for the greedy donors tugging on those invisible strings.
While Trump says "I've NEVER been in government so that qualifies me to run the most powerful country on Earth!"
The hubris of these guys is truly astonishing and troubling.
As is Trump's.
Trump is exactly the Perot; a person who can promise anything because they don’t have a voting record on anything.
You need rest.
I am part of the conservative Christian base and I can see through BS rhetoric and dismiss it as such.
You sentence is demonstrably false.
My concern is the continuation of the original idea of The United States
It IS, after all .. an idea
And as so succinctly articulated in BEN HUR ...
"How do you fight an idea ?"
"With another idea"
What do you think the government indoctrination centers have been doing the last 60 years ...
We call them "our kids" ... but, they grew up a long time ago and they were pumped full of "ideas" that went against OUR teachings
I have three out of five kids not in church because the world was more glamorous and sin is fun!
And THAT story is re-told all OVER the USA
Political understanding is part of the degenerative programming .. now, at LEAST two generations deep .. they have experienced adulthood and they are now putting THEIR kids (our grand babies) into the same institution that didn't give them the confidence and tools to feel they could teach their own children .... !!!
Job security
BTW .. I just got re-elected to 4 years on the school board and I start fires ... big conflagrations, and I worked with another FReeper type to get a successful write in for 4 years ...
OUR turn for incrementalism
I'm not in a vacuum
We were supposed to a nation run by ordinary people for a couple of years and go home
George Washington was SUCH a perfect example of "No, I will not be a king and No, I won't stay here forever"
Commissioned salesman for eleven years .... you learn about hunger and determination
