It is the loss of the ability to discuss candidates that isn’t good.

For the record, the umpteenth time...I do not support Trump, but at first liked his bombasticness because it opened the window to let some fresh cold air in. He demonstrated how to handle the media cycle, how to handle the press, the republicans watching him could learn a lot about marketing. BUT...as much as I like Cruz and Rubio, the NBC battle occurs with them and man-o-man, they need to be Trump-like to handle it against the Democrat machine. Those that are left are not great candidates.

If you look on my homepage there is an interesting Bible verse. It deals with the full measure of sin for Nations. I somehow don’t think we are going to get a wise leader for quite a while. The nation is desperate.

It is this desperateness that is driving this nastiness. If we’d only turn back to God, let him still our hearts and minds, the emotion of choice would give way to wisdom.

I’d have to go back through my posts of months...but I knew Trump would split the base.

Oh, if you want to support Cruz, fine. (You may be on dangerous ground supporting Rubio tho—incoming from both sides). However, you have your reasons for it, just like I have my reasons for not supporting Cruz. And, we can disagree over who is splitting the base, and who is the best candidate.

I am not going to call you names or question your faith or right to be here—that is what has changed.

I just don’t like being impugned for not agreeing with some of the more strident Cruz supporters who act like “religious brown-shirts” to anyone who does not support Cruz. Seriously, calling fellow Freepers Demons? Antichrist? Telling them they are hell-bound?

It is waaay over the top!

Seriously, it needs to stop.
