Pres. Trump pledges a return to religious values, and ‘Merry Christmas’
WISH TV ^ | 10/13/17

Posted on 10/13/2017 7:33:20 PM PDT by markomalley

President Donald Trump assured a high-profile gathering of Christian conservatives on Friday that his administration will defend religious organizations, promising a return to traditional American values while again subtly stoking the fire he helped ignite over NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.

“How times have changed, but you know what, now they are changing back again, just remember that,” Trump told the cheering crowd.

Trump, the first sitting president to address the Values Voter Summit, ticked off the promises he’s fulfilled to evangelical Christians and other conservatives, pledging to turn back the clock in what he described as a nation that has drifted away from its religious roots.

He bemoaned the use of the phrase “Happy Holidays” as a secular seasonal greeting and vowed to return “Merry Christmas” to the national discourse.

He noted, as Christian conservatives often do, that there are four references to the “creator” in the Declaration of Independence, saying that “religious liberty is enshrined” in the nation’s founding documents.

“I pledged that in a Trump administration, our nation’s religious heritage would be cherished, protected and defended like you have never seen before,” Trump said. “Above all else in America, we don’t worship government. We worship God.”

It will also be nice if Trump returns to the tradition of giving thanks to God in the annual Thanksgiving proclamation, which disappeared during the Obama years.

I am looking forward to seeing a White House decorated with beautiful Christmas trees, like when Laura Bush was First Lady. With our current elegant First Lady, I imagine it will be glorious.

This man, slowly but surely, has been changed by something greater than himself, and it is actually showing more and more. Even those who oppose him, like Hollywood and rich athletes, are finding themselves thwarted and frustrated. All of our prayers are “availing much,” as James 1 says. This explains the world’s cruel hatred for him. May God continue to use and bless President Trump for His glory and, please, let’s continue to pray for him!

Every time President Trump skewers the atheist Marxists, I giggle like a kid at Christmas. Good morning America!

If he really wanted to put icing on the cake and make liberal heads explode he should announce that this Thanksgiving he will NOT pardon the turkey at the White House but it will be the main course on their Thanksgiving menu.

I had forgotten about the Mao ornaments. I was thinking more along the lines of the LGBT ornaments. That was totally disgusting IMO.
