Another hysteric emotion base diatribe from the Conservative Pharisees

Sorry wasn’t interested when the Left tried to substitute emotion and volume for thought. Certainly am not going to buy those tactics when “Conservatives” attempt to use them.

[samtheman]

This is getting ridiculous.

New York Daily News already put Trump is the Devil graphics on their front page, so I guess nobody can top that.

But really, get a life, people. Grow up. Get over it. Your guy lost. Extreme temper tantrums will not change that, even those cloaked in High Morality.

Never heard of the sutjor

Amen!

Most (I assume) Trump supporters know all that. Will Trump be able to make good on all his promises? Who knows. It does not matter at this time and place.

What matter is that Trump is giving the “silent majority” a voice. He is allowing Americans to stand up and be counted. His supporters do not want illegal aliens coming and staying in this country. His supporters want these same illegals sent home. His supporters want the wall built. His supporters do not want terrorist invited into our nation (and since we can not tell by looking, and since most world terrorist is based on Muslims, then yes, we do not want more Muslims let into our country.

His supporters are tired of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, the laws against free speech, and free association.

In other words his supporters do not like the direction our leaders have been taking us.

Until he came onto the political stage, none of these issues were being discussed nor would they.

So support for Trump is more than support for the man, it is for the things he is talking about.

Even if he loses, the politicians will know that the people are very angry at them as this time.

The bottom of the blog barrel continues to be scraped for anti-Trump garbage like this. A few nobodies enjoy a few clicks, but no one cares what they say.

There is no perfect candidate. I’m not perfect. Whoever receives the nomination needs to be lifted up in prayer and I certainly don’t want Hillary !!!
If my people who are called by My Name... pray. Regardless, Christians need to be on their knees.

[jazminerose]

How about some of the hysterics calm down & take the time to read Art of the Deal to get some idea who Trump is? I promise, it’s a much more fun read than BOs gawdawful books.

The Trump haters seem to think they know a lot about the man, but I’ll bet they’ve never read a word he’s written.

[Hatteras]

The balance of the Supreme Court is at the top of the list of priorities now. So just remember, when your guns have been banned and confiscated, a yuuuuge, beautiful wall can also become very handy when it comes to keeping people from getting out as well...

Donald Trump is a biblically-illiterate, adulterous, strip-club owning, casino magnate. He has been on every side of almost any political or moral issue you can imagine.

Questions Trump supporters will never address on this thread:

1 is Donald Trump biblically illiterate?

2 has Donald Trump committed adultery?

3 did Donald Trump own a strip club?

4 was Donald Trump a casino magnate?

5 was Donald Trump on every side of almost any political issue?

6 was Donald Trump on every side of almost any moral issue?

Those questions will not be addressed because Trump supporters will be too busy excoriating the messenger, citing poll and election numbers as though right and wrong did not matter, and laughing out loud.

another self-proclaimed “Christian” blog engaging in un-Christianlike behavior. Pure hipocrisy.

There is an interesting article on National Review that might shed some light on the subject. In polling, the number of evangelicals are self reported. In South Carolina, evangelicals make up a large portion of the GOP primary voters, again it is self reported. However, the state of South Carolina has a church attendance rate no different than the average Northeastern state. There are many self reported evangelicals who are not regular church goers. They identify as evangelicals culturally, not theologically, much like an ethnic identity. In the United States the one area where self reported evangelicals and church going correlate is the Upper Midwest, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, etc. Explains why Cruz did well in Iowa, but not in South Carolina. This fact will be a problem for Cruz on March 1, because most of the South is more like South Carolina in this respect.
One of Cruz's biggest flaws is his tendency toward magical thinking. That is believing things are the way he wants them to be, not what they actually are. He has based his campaign on garnering a huge percentage of Evangelicals, but he did not delve deeper to see if his assumption are real.

How could anyone be more liberal than:

-signing a liberalized California abortion law - 1967
https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=yAlJAAAAIBAJ&sjid=dAUNAAAAIBAJ&pg=5620%2C3433380

-giving amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in America - 1986
https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Z7M0AAAAIBAJ&sjid=YCEGAAAAIBAJ&pg=7219%2C665572

-endorsing the Brady bill against the 2nd amendment - 1991
https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UpwzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0TIHAAAAIBAJ&pg=3945%2C5172761

-coming out in support of NAFTA - 1992
https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=q0dQAAAAIBAJ&sjid=11UDAAAAIBAJ&pg=3988%2C3599740

Yet Ronald Reagan did all of that.

Ronald Reagan was no Ronald Reagan after he performed all of those liberal actions. ;-)

Name a liberal thing that Trump has done that is worse than those 4 liberal actions that Reagan took.

The Trump haters....

Could we at least consider refraining from language like that? I do not support Trump. I have valid reasons for that.

I do not hate him.

Does anyone count to ten before posting anymore?

Re: Magical Thinking

It is Magical Thinking on Cruz’s part to believe that he is a natural born citizen.

[DWW1990]

The only “garbage” in this race is Trump (and the other liberals). And those voting for him (at least those who call themselves conservatives) are at least deceived, but most likely fools.

[Fai Mao]

1 is Donald Trump biblically illiterate?

2 has Donald Trump committed adultery?
Maybe not illiterate but pretty close

3 did Donald Trump own a strip club?
I think he had a financial interest in at least one yes

4 was Donald Trump a casino magnate?
Obviously and a golf magnate as well

5 was Donald Trump on every side of almost any political issue?

He admits his positions on many issues have changed over the years. So, yes.

6 was Donald Trump on every side of almost any moral issue?
This is actually the question as #5 and has the same answer.
