We are currently experiencing both and it is challenging.
I pray FR survives this election. Our forum has never been so divided. But even more so, I pray our divided nation survives. If traitor Hillary or communist Sanders is elected, it will be difficult to continue as a free nation without invoking certain clauses in the Declaration. Our constitution is certainly being put to the test.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
God is in charge. The original colonies were established mostly in the name of Judeo-Christianity and primarily for religious freedom. And our current government was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
Republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, progressive are all political constructs and are useful, but are not the ultimate causes.
God, family, country, liberty are our causes.
We are all created in God's image. God gave us life and liberty. He taught us how to live, how to work, how to fend for ourselves and family, how to govern ourselves, how to defend ourselves our family our country, and how to worship and be faithful. Most of us on FR believe He had a mighty hand on the founding of our nation and that we should continue seeking Him as our guiding light.
Today we are caught up in what could very well be the climatic struggle for our nation's survival. We've been struggling in this nation against godless progressivism for at least 100 years. And, of course, against Satanic Islamic totalitarianism for 1400 years. Now we have the godless progressives, Marxist communists and Satanic Islamic fascist totalitarians all joining forces to try for the final destruction of our Judeo-Christian nation.
We are being invaded from within and without and we will fail as a nation if we do not recognize this and we fail to unite as a free people under God to fight for our survival.
At first I was very skeptical about Donald Trump entering the race. I'm a great believer in Ted Cruz and his godly conservatism. And I pray that if he's the candidate, that the nation bands together and grants him a landslide victory and a mandate to secure our nation and set it back on the righteous path.
But I have to admit that Trump surprised me and got my patriotic emotions stirring again. He is obviously not the evangelical constitutional conservative that Cruz is, but does appear to be a powerful leader with a love for America and freedom. And he's proving that he can pull in large crowds and great numbers in the polls.
As I said, I was skeptical at first, but after watching him campaign and learning some of the details about his Reagan-like tax plan and his determination to secure our borders and secure our nation I became a little more interested. And his non-PC approach to handling the media and the GOPe intrigued me.
His bold statements that we should build a wall, enforce the law, deport them ALL, end the sanctuary cities, end the anchor babies were shocking to most of the political class, but as his polling numbers attest, are exactly what the people want. Even more shocking were his bold statements of going after the families and the mosques of the terrorists and even slapping a moratorium on Muslim immigration. Shocking, but again, exactly what we need if we are to survive the war the Muslims are waging against us.
The political class to a man immediately rejected these bold statements as being unconstitutional and un-American, but as they see the people are for them, they are starting to come around.
Am I totally sold on Trump? Not yet. But if he continues as he is and doesn't blowup, he could very well be our nominee. And if so, I will support him to the hilt.
We have two great candidates in Cruz and Trump and I hope neither are knocked out too soon. We have RINO amnesty pimps Rubio, Kasich, Bush, et al, lurking just behind. And the GOPe is far from dead.
Go, Cruz, Go!
Go, Trump, Go!
Either way, we win, they lose.
And I pray one of these two gets it and that we can all join forces against the true enemy when he does.
God us all and bless America.
And FReepers, please quit attacking each other. We're all in this together.
IBTZ — oh wait.
Bump that.
Amen, JimRob. Thank you.
Jim Robinson for VP!
Thank you.
Sir , if Clinton or Sanders are elected , men in uniform should and can fix that . Folks like me will join them .Enough is enough and I think a lot of folks have had enough . I know I have
Let’s not kill ourselves Bump.
Right on brother, you encapsulated my sentiments exactly. Long live the USA ! Long live FR !
Bump...prayer’s up.
This is the keystone for supporting Trump. I want to do it without tarnishing Ted Cruz.
We're all in the same boat. Doesn't make much sense to be lobbing hand grenades.
Caveat Emptor
Well stated, Jim.
I wouldn't dismiss either of these two candidates out of hand.
Great! You would think your post wouldn’t have been needed.
I find it instructive that in the online caucus here pretty much all the Trump supporters said they would vote for Cruz as nominee, but many of the Cruz supporters still wouldn’t vote for Trump. What on earth are they thinking? Do they actually believe that Trump is flat out lying about everything he vows to do? It sounds to me like they would rather see Hillary or Sanders as president than take a chance that Trump could prove them wrong about him. Cruz or Losers indeed.
Yup, Cruz or Trump are the best in the field and more then we can hope for.
I absolutely agree. In that order. Cruz is my first choice, but I am also OK with Trump. He leans leftier than I'd like - but every 'hate' diatribe I read, or hear, from the Media and/or GOPe makes me want to vote for him.
He gives me the impression that he loves this Country, and that he is not in this for a power trip -- like the rest of our politicians. He might actually do something positive in reducing the size of the Government beast ... Although I think that is hoping for too much.
But sure, there is mud getting tossed across the aisle here. I suspect over half of those posts are by Dem, or GOPe trolls, but no matter. Cruz or Trump are fine with me. No RINOs this time.
Amen. God bless America even though we don’t deserve it.
