I’ve also been here since 1998. Supporting Trump. That position is well-thought out and based on the history of the back-stabbing Republican party that has let us down since I’ve been on this site. Nothing and no none we stood has followed through on any issue important to our well-being as a nation. Trump busts up the liars and vows to change all of it. I want to give him a chance, because no one else will even vow to do so. If he fails or reneges, then that won’t be any different than what we’ve had for the past 20 years or so.
Serious question.
Can a conservative be a person who does not share your religion/faith? What about a Catholic? How about a Jew? What about Agnostics? People who do not believe the Bible is a literal science book, and God is a greater power who deserves respect, but is not our buddy?
I don’t mean to start a religious war, but there are people of all religious beliefs—or not—on Free Republic who consider themselves conservatives.
Because if part of the reasoning you like Cruz and despise Trump is due to your religious or faith issues, well, you are more than welcome to have those views or even share them with others.
However, if you are saying that anyone who supports Trump is not a conservative, or is stupid, or is anti-God, well, that’s just your bias showing.
Conservative <> Evangelical, protestant Christian.
The PuriCons, those high priests of religious and conservative purity, tell me that Ted is just like Ronald Reagan. Except nobody really likes him, but shut your mouth you infidel because the reason nobody likes him is because he is just like Reagan and everybody liked Reagan. No wait, that doesn’t work...
In the age of mass marketing and mass media, Trump is ascendant because he knows how it works and has mastered it. The PuriCons can piss and moan all they want, but the train has already left the station.
Go Trump
We'll still get blamed for everything, FRiend. ;)
