Money quote:

Seriously, how would Buttigieg’s Christianity set him apart politically from any other Democratic presidential contender? My guess is that unlike Trump, Buttigieg could sit down with a serious conservative Christian and have a serious discussion about faith and politics … but in the end, as president, he would push for policies no different from O’Rourke, Sanders, Harris, and all the others.

Buttman sure is full of himself to go around questioning other people's Christian faith when he is against millenium of Judeo-Christian teachings on the nature of sexuality, the family, and abortion. The funny thing is he goes around bashing Trump about his faith when Trump talks zero about faith. Trump relies heavily on the support of active Christians and Jews but he keeps his faith or lack of to himself.

Buttman is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

For sure this guy will be a defining litmus test for many, many pastors out there.

Do they support Biblical teachings on sexuality, or don’t they?

I am no theologian, and I try to stay away from serious discussions about doctrine, because I am likely to just embarrass myself.

But this Buttplug guy seems to have no serious understanding of Christianity and Christ’s teaching on sin. He seems proudly clueless.

Religiosity aside, this guy has sanctimony down cold.

This is the M.O. of socialists. Attack the conscience of various groups.
Tell the greenies that pubs are killing the earth. Tell the Christians that pubs are unforgiving. Tell the blacks that pubs hate blacks. Tell.. well you get the idea. All the while, the socialists don’t give a hoot about the subjects in question.
In Pre war Germany, the socialists promoted immoral behavior to gain popularity, Once in power, though, Their whips sang a different tune.

Recent polls show that Buttgig is stealing all the homo support away from Bozo and Spartacus.

If you want it to be boot-edge-edge then spell it boot-edge-edge. As of now, it’s butt a geeg. And he’s not married to a man. His religion has become just another arm of progressivism.

What I don’t understand is:

How is a 37 year old mayor of a small City, with no particular achievements in life, now considered a major presidential candidate?

Is it becsuse the media love him now? Is it because he is homosexual?

“Proudly clueless” is one of democrats’ most common and distinguishing characteristics.

“Buttigieg could sit down with a serious conservative Christian and have a serious discussion about faith and politics”

How serious should I take the morality of someone who believes it is natural to want a man’s penis shoved up a man’s butt? How many stallions will ignore a mare and instead try to entice another stallion to behave that way? What would the future of a mammalian specie be if it favored non-reproduction over reproduction?

How serious can someone be if they support the killing of human babies while wanting to protect kittens? Or snails?

Buttguy’s politics and morality may pass for serious among the fawning media. Won’t cut it among people who can notice the Emperor isn’t wearing any clothes.

I was thinking the same thing. These people’s mass insanity has now made some faggot Mayor from South Bend think he’s qualified to be President? How’s THAT work?

I guess that’s what you get when your skin color, sex and sexual preference is what guides your worthless party into nominating you. What a national joke the Democratic party has become.

1. One candidate who’s claim to fame is that he’s married to a guy and hasn’t quite figured out what to do with his own penis.

2. Another candidate who shows porn movies to his mother to cheer her up.

3. Another candidate who publicly sniffs women’s hair and feels up little children.

4. Another candidate who thinks she’s an Indian.

5. Another candidate who thinks reparations are in line for anyone who used to be a slave in the Civil War.

6. A crazy old Jewish communist.

7. Sparticus.

Am I forgetting anyone? I’m sure I am - but only because they’re all so utterly, laughably forgettable.
