I think ‘cuban leaf’ has been indulging too much in that ‘leaf’. Good points as always D1. Have a great week.
I don’t know what the deal is with him. Oh well.
You have a great week too.
>> all NY jerks talk tough <<
Exactly. And my experience with them is that when you stand up to them and “talk tough” back to them, they often will wilt like last week’s daisy.
Therefore, I gotta think that tough talk isn’t necessarily correlated with tough action.
Sale fail and reading-comprehension fail.
Read the conversation again, which had nothing to do with the spirituality of Trump and Simon Peter.
Instead Kaslin said Trump’s alleged foot-in-mouth problem disqualifies him, all within the context of a thread urging evangelicals to vote against him.
And I countered that Simon Peter said worst things, one of which prompted the top evangelical — Jesus Himself — to castigate Simon Peter with the words “Get behind me, Satan!”
Despite this, Jesus stuck with His first pick, Simon Peter.
So Kaslin’s criticism against Trump’s alleged mouth problems does not work.
LOL! All the liberal religious talking points, right in a row!
It doesn't matter what you think. In the context of the OP, what matters is what the Christians think - And I guarantee that by and large, they DO have a religious litmus test, and like all Conservatives, they are becoming MORE adamant about their principles...
>> every person in the cast will tell you that he is gracious, welcoming, considerate and self-deprecating . . . when the camera is off <<
So Trump’s tough-guy political image is totally phony?
I guess Putin, Assad, the illegal aliens and the Mexican government will be pleased to learn that he is very unlikely to carry thru on his big threats.
Nope.
The Christian Right will not be impressed by his PresbyterianUSA credz, and are not impressed by his understanding... You may not be aware of it, but most Conservative Christians believe PresbyterianUSA is completely off the rails. It is decidedly liberal.
You don't amass a billion without being tough.
Tough guys can be compassionate.
Please quit exposing you inner queer.
OMG...did I just offend you.
‘’It just kills me how Evangelicals can sit out election after election,’’
“Amen!” to that.
‘’because they heard on TeeVee âHeâs a Christianâ and âheâs a good manâ’’
Or, like my MIL said, “Why don’t we give that nice young black man a chance?” I had to leave the room. To puke.
Almost all the Protestants I have known personally have been pro-lifers, and I never encountered this notion that politics is “dirty” and something keep away from, lest one become “impure.” But I hear Steve Deace talk about it quite often. What is going on (if anything) in these people’s heads? Apparently some of them think that Romans 13 says that if those running the government want to kill babies and old people, gas people, levy confiscatory taxes, etc., no one has the right to object.
I certainly do not support Trump, for many of the reasons cited in the article, and more besides. I definitely will not vote for him in the primary.
There’s a whole lot of “Christian” judging going on here about who other Christians should vote for.
There is no self-declared Christian candidate who is “holier” than the other self-declared Christian candidate. All of us are human and have sin in our lives. Only God can see our hearts and judge if He thinks we are Christian.
Here’s the deal: You look around, assess the immediate threat, and vote for the candidate that you think will best vanquish it.
IMO, these are what I consider to be immediate threats. Christians are being beheaded, our nation has essentially been invaded, and our country is on the brink of economic and moral collapse.
Who best to deal with these imminent threats? A politician beholden to his donors, or a character-flawed self-professed Christian who is strong, confident, has a track record of accomplishments, and is beholden to no one.
This is a matter of survival, survival as a nation, survival as Christians.
My ancestors on both sides of my family were murdered by the crazies, for being Christian.
I’ll vote for who I think will best protect me and fellow Christians= DONALD J. TRUMP.
P.S.
BTW, 69 years ago, the Presbyterian USA church was much less liberal than it is now.
Same here.
I agree totally, and don’t give a tinker’s damn about what Michael Brown has to say on any topic.
GOT IT?
Trump earned his.
Do you beg to differ?
Agreed.
Your words:
“The problem with Trump is that he doesn’t engage his brain before he opens his mouth.”
And I paraphrased you with:
“Instead Kaslin said Trump’s alleged foot-in-mouth problem disqualifies him, all within the context of a thread urging evangelicals to vote against him.”
My paraphrase is faithful to your statement and its context.
So do you want to censor me and take away my First Amendment political free speech?
Constitutional scholar Ted Cruz would just shake his head at you.
