The enemy has gotten his hold in Freeper land. Let's cast him out.
I am not sold out on either Donald T. nor Ted C. They both have their great strength and their great weaknesses. I think I understand both camps pretty well though.
The problem is that both camps seem to be acting pretty nasty towards each other. I think this comes out of insecurity. If someone really in their heart believes that their candidate is everything that they could ever hope for they come from a position of strength. With a position of strength there isn't a need to cut the other guy down. From a position of strength one only needs to do constant, consistent and thorough educating of those who are not informed. The truth can and will if used skillfully persuade the hardened opponent. Those of us who are freepers are almost always of those who seek and value truth so therefore are certainly persuadable. I really believe that we resort to nastiness and cuts because we are not truly persuaded in ourselves and are of the disposition to think that the louder we are, the meaner, the more cutting the more we are trying to convince our self that our position is the correct one as well as our opponent.
Let's start being utterly honest as to why we support our candidate even including his weaknesses. This way the truth will get out there and maybe it will even ultimately affect the candidates, changing their hearts and positions as the truth filters through to them.
All in all lets all forgive each other for all of our bad behavior and start acting like mature, loving people. Because an election is happening shouldn't change our character and cause us to become hate filled towards those we have always respected. Let's keep our good natures, speak the truth in love and let the truth have it's perfect work.
What a great Christian post, I agree with every word. Thank you.

But they have cooties!
Well put Bellflower...a solid and raucous AMEN from me.
That is thee best post (60) I have ever read. Outstanding Tinyowl!
Out of curiosity, who did you vote for in 08?
Don’t be dismayed.
Cruz CAN beat Hillary. Everyone said Reagan couldn’t beat a sitting President. But he did.
Have faith. Don’t buy the RINO and liberal hype.
Sadly, it was pretty much down to McCain and Romney as viable options when FL voted in ‘08, so I went with McCain, because I’ve never liked Romney. It was a real Sophie’s Choice.
Bump! Agree all the way!
Yea same for me, except it was pretty much decided for us that it would be mccain. But, I hate the whole bandwagon thing and the establishment trying to force someone down our throats, I voted mitt in the primary more of a protest vote. Just so mccain wouldn’t have a mandate I guess.
If ya think they have cooties then Ya know you gotta love them cooties and all. Love beareth ALL things!
The good guys aren't mind numbed robots. We aren't the Borg. The other side is pretty much united for evil without wills of their own, under the control of their masters. The good guys are free thinkers, strong willed and minded. I think that is why there appears to be so much disunity among us but the other side is strangely pretty much united. I think, though, that the good guys do need to keep it under control and let reason and love rule. That of course is not always easy, especially when one is fired up about what one believes.
I agree that a true Conservative can still win elections providing that the Conservative is a good communicator like Reagan was. That is what has been so lacking in the Conservative movement, good communicators. I pray that The LORD raises up good Conservative speakers. Good can reign as long as people are given the opportunity to understand it.
The evil people have had so much authority for so long that if we don't get going and overcome it will soon be too late. The people on the whole won't be good for anything but being destroyed by the wrath of God.
That’s a very good point. It’s sometimes harder for freedom lovers to put up a united front specifically because the very thing we fight against is their mind numbing individuality killing safety of group think and collective hypnosis.
Can't I just hand them some anti-cootie lotion from a safe distance and love them that way?
You need to go to bed
Wardaddy, you were mistaken. I didn't run a "Trump is finished" thread, nor would I. You were probably right though about the part that I needed to go to bed. That was good advice as I tend to stay up too late. :)
