The Difference Between God And ‘Saint Nancy’ On The Border Wall Issue
Townhall.com ^ | December 31, 2018 | Scott Morefield

It’s hilarious when godless liberals appropriate a word like “immoral” when they clearly haven’t the slightest clue what it means, much less think that it would ever truly apply to something they support.

Yet, Democrats of late have been in the habit of using the term to describe President Trump’s proposed border wall. It’s a two-pronged propaganda coup for them. First, by casting something they staunchly oppose as “immoral,” it virtue-signals morality on themselves. Second, it paints those who oppose their position as bad people who want to slaughter puppies and hang immigrant children by their toes. 

So unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed that soon-to-be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi - or Saint Nancy, as Tucker Carlson aptly dubbed her - is among the most flagrant offenders. 

Get a load of this ‘logic:’

"We have a responsibility, all of us, to secure our borders, north, south, and coming in by plane on our coasts, three coasts, north, south, and west," Pelosi said at a press briefing earlier this month. "And that's a responsibility we honor, but we do so by honoring our values as well.”

So, we have a “responsibility” to “secure our borders,” but we can’t utilize anything that would actually work because, you know, “values” and stuff ...

Then, the kicker:

“We, most of us, speaking for myself, consider the wall immoral, ineffective and expensive and the president ... promised Mexico would pay for it. So even if they did, it's immoral still, and then they're not going to pay for it."

Notwithstanding the “we, most of us” and “speaking for myself” contradiction which can probably be attributed to Pelosi’s Biden-like clumsiness with the English language, that mouthful of a statement raises more than a few questions. Expensive? Really? Unless it’s something a conservative supports and they want an easy ‘reason’ to oppose it, since when has a Democrat EVER considered anything too expensive? Then there’s the whole “Mexico would pay for it” thing. They know what Trump meant, and they know Mexico was never going to actually write us a check per se, but “even if they did,” according to Saint Nancy, “it’s immoral still.”

But the logic gets even more convoluted. The wall, to the new moralizers like Saint Nancy, is both “immoral” AND “ineffective,” which raises perhaps the most important question of all - How can it be both? If the wall was “ineffective” at stopping illegal immigration, then how could it be “immoral,” assuming that their definition of the word relates to the possibility that it would actually stop illegals from crossing the border?

At this point, consider this explanation by liberals of why exactly liberals consider the wall “immoral.” In an article titled “The Immorality of Trump's Border Wall, Explained,” Teen Vogue reveals the true liberal mindset:

Opposing the wall because it’s expensive, not because it's wrong, also obscures the balance of who truly ‘owns’ and who truly ‘owes.' The balance should be clear: the United States and its business partners perpetuate great violence and disruption upon the Americas, pressuring people to emigrate, then profiting off their detention when they do. As people flee the violence and poverty exacerbated by U.S. imperialism and neoliberal trade, we must defend their freedom of movement, because if anyone owes anyone, the federal government owes migrants.

So, the wall is “immoral” because “U.S. imperialism” is somehow responsible for “pressuring people to emigrate,” thus our government should do nothing to impede “freedom of movement” because it “owes migrants.”

In other words, even the libs know that walls work. Otherwise, why oppose them? Put it this way - If the “wall” were nothing more than a 3-foot high landscaping feature that immigrants could step over, would Democrats really be so hot and bothered?

But Saint Nancy wants to have her cake and eat it too.

Earlier this month on his Fox News program, Carlson had this to say about “Saint Nancy” and her opposition to a border wall:

Now, if you’re familiar with how things work in Washington, you may be wondering: When did morality begin to play a central role in the legislative process? The answer is the day that Nancy Pelosi got ordained. Pelosi is now an archbishop in the church of progress sanctimony. Weak moral authority. That is not a problem for St. Nancy. Her moral thought is absolute. She is a good person. You, unfortunately, are not. So pay attention as she explains once again — a border wall is immoral. Well, fine. Far be it for us to question the command of an archbishop. We’ll take her at her word. God hates walls. But if walls are immoral, what about fences? 

What about Israel’s security wall? It’s big and real and very effective. Pelosi supported it, actually. She voted for a resolution defending that wall from U.N. Condemnation. It’s confusing. Must have been before her conversion. But now [that] the walls are definitely immoral, a few obvious theological questions arise. What about doors? And locks? How about hedges or security systems or airport checkpoints or anything else that specifically designed to keep some people out? What about the gate in front of Pelosi’s weekend house? Is St. Nancy against all of that? Of course not.

Morals that come from God are one thing. They are immutable, infallible, indisputable. Humans have generally agreed over millennia that things like murder, stealing, and lying are wrong. And for that matter, before liberals placed themselves above God as the grand arbiters of all things moral, things like adultery and fornication were once considered wrong as well, and protecting one’s national borders was considered a good thing. Of course, that’s the problem when fallible humans get to decide what is “moral” and what is not. Things get taken off or added to “the list” based on convenience, desire, and even politics.

Christian theologian Wayne Grudem, among othershas already made an infallible case based on the Bible that border walls aren’t just NOT “immoral,” but actually preferred by the Biblical God. 

Saint Nancy, on the other hand, just wants to play politics.

Oh no....not another vindictive vainglorious Democrat scheme?
Seems Democrats are pinning their hopes on the Mueller findings......
that the report will be so damning, Republicans will rise up and vote the president out office.

<><> first they stole power----getting Congressional seats by the reprehensible practice of "vote harvesting,"

<><> now the sap-happy Dems are "crime harvesting" looking for crimes they hope will get them back into the WH.

======================================

POINTS TO PONDER-—According to Prof Jonathan Turley, hating Trump has the Democrats remaking themselves. In order to “Get-Trump,” Dems are making dizzying u-turns on their most revered positions. (picture The Exorcist's satanic head revolving like a top---and you have a good image of anxious Democrats nervous side-switching.)

<><>Turley insightfully observed that the sap-happy soft-on-crime Democrats have even embraced expanding definitions of crimes like obstruction, conspiracy, and the like. Democrats have resisted efforts to criminmach one alize broader and broader areas of conduct, and now sound like legal hawks in demanding criminal charges for conduct long treated as civil matters, such as campaign finance violations and foreign agent registration violations.

<><> Demos have heretofore looked askance at America’s endless wars but are now triggered by Trump’s exit from Syria and once rejected the premise that we should engage in continual wars in other countries or face terrorism on our streets at home.

<><> Still in the sick throes of her Russian obsession, Pelosi said the exit was a “Christmas gift to Putin.” Sen.Tim Kaine (Hillary's VP), Rep. David Cicilline and others called it “irresponsible” or “hasty.” Forgetting that the “hasty” move is after seven years of intervention in the civil war, including personnel on the ground since 2012. Democrats now espouse the same lines they once denounced during the Bush administration

<><> Trump-hater Morning Joe Scarborough sounding like the Republicanism he recently denounced says Trump failed to understand we must fight “enemies like ISIS abroad, so we do not have to fight them in our own schools, churches and airports.”

FOREGONE CONCLUSION Trump is in the catbird seat——he can easily trigger the hate-filled Dems on the border issue-— take a position that forces Demos to support border security that goes against everything they say they stand for.

Since so many D votes are by dead souls, truth means nothing at election times. The leadership of the demon rats are not bound by anything so they spit in God’s face and serve their father ...

God both tore down a wall, Joshua, and built a wall, Nehemiah. God can do anything.

Is it worth it saint anmcy?

She doesn't believe in an afterlife, this life is all she thinks she gets, and raw power is more seductive and addictive than any chemical drug.

She's a full-up addict, as trustworthy with your money and freedom as any jonesing meth-head.

I'd love for Trump to show up at the wall around Pelosi's estate and declare for the cameras:
"Madam Pelosi, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!"

Even better if she's actually home on congressional recess...

...or if he shows up with a sledgehammer and starts pounding on it!

It’s not only immoral to deny Americans border security, it is treasonous.

STARTLING PELOSI QUOTE: “The unacceptable policy of ripping children from the arms of their
parents at the border is barbaric. That’s not American. It’s not faith-based,” said Pelosi, D-Calif.

So Nancy......ripping a defenseless unborn baby out of its mother's womb
and cutting it into profit-making saleable body parts........ IS faith-based?

Any time a dem says the word “God,” it should trigger the knowledge that their “God” is the one who embraces the slaughter of innocent children.

Here is the quote from Wayne Grudem about the Old Testament teaching about taking of "the stranger."

When the Bible says, “Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt” (Deuteronomy 10:19), Old Testament professor James Hoffmeier has demonstrated that these “sojourners” (or “resident foreigners” in one translation; the Hebrew term is ger) were people who had entered another country legally, with the permission and knowledge of the country that admitted them. (The unmodified term “foreigner” in some translations is not specific enough to translate Hebrew ger.) A foreigner who had entered a country by stealth and did not have recognized standing as a resident alien was not considered a “sojourner” (Hebrew ger) but simply a “foreigner” (Hebrew nekar or zar).

God has a big book of sinners and Peter monitors the Pearly Gates. Heaven has a very strict policy of who gets in and who doesn’t.

OTOH, Hell has none of that.
