“values voters” who readily accepted a thrice-divorced philanderer as their candidate are very receptive to the idea that their identities as Christian conservatives are under siege when they support laws in Indiana, North Carolina, and Texas to ward off threats to traditional marriage, bathroom stall etiquette, and religious freedom.

After "the race card", "the hypocrisy card" is perhaps the second-most-played card in the deck. Similarly, it's usually mis-played as well. There's no contradiction here -- a man cheated on his wife in NY twenty years ago, therefore my daughter has to accept that laws passed by a legislature in NC this year to allow grown men in her school's bathroom? Therefore I have to bake a cake for a gay wedding?

“Can we please defeat the left now, and chase them out of prominent positions? They are a disease.”

Maybe you should demand that we slay the dragon instead of ask. If it’s not done now, it never will be - of that I am 100% sure.

The reason the left hates Christianity is that they believe they have a superior religion.... the Brpther’s Keeper paradigm of Cain. The left is very sincere in their religious belief that they are their brother’s keeper.

Yeah, I hope dummiecrats keep thinking this. They can’t get enough of losing!

Very astute post, nathanbedford. Hope all is well...

Yup. You’ve got it. All this unhinged panic by the libs in the wake of the election comes down to one thing: the creeping feeling that Trump is going to be a MASSIVE success, and reveal them as the lazy dullards they are.
