For the GOP, Donald Trump may be evil incarnate — literally
The Week ^ | 07/25/2015 | James Poulos

What if a candidate for president were evil?

I'm not talking about the way "evil" is thrown around as an insult. I'm talking about real evil, the kind you find in the Bible. Chuckle if you must, but Donald Trump's opponents are beginning to make the case that he is truly evil. And the deeper you look, the more you see that it's no laughing matter.

The prevailing wisdom says Trump is riding high because the Republican base is raising a middle finger — once again — to the establishment. But the prevailing wisdom also says the base is dominated by Christian conservatives. That's a paradox in the making.

Certainly, just because you're Christian doesn't mean you're a wimp when it comes to politics. You can stand up and cheer, or grimly nod along, when someone — anyone — cuts through today's tightly scripted Beltway blather with random rants and oh-no-he-didn't jabs.

But it's becoming clear that Trump's candidacy asks Christians to go much further than that — down the road of perdition, if Trump's enemies are to be believed.

It all started when Trump went on record describing an attitude toward sin that would make the average churchgoer flinch. At the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, Frank Luntz asked Trump to share with the audience whether he'd ever asked God for forgiveness.

"I don't think so," said Trump. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."

He went on. "When I drink my little wine — which is about the only wine I drink — and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness,

I like Cruz a lot. He is the only guy I have voted for in the past 30 years who I feel good about. I am very glad that Trump is in bringing up issues everybody wanted to avoid and calling out the uniparty slugs.

Want to hear about Evil?

There was an Article on a British Web Site about the PP Scandal and Kamala Harris the CA AG investigating the people who exposed the Butchery.

90% of the Comments supported her actions.

I replied to a Woman’s Post who said that she supported the Harvesting of Fetal Tissue because she had some sort of Chronic Condition and the Tissue was needed for her Treatment. Never heard that one before. She could have been talking abut Embryonic Stem Cell Research for all I know.

I replied back that I also have a Chronic Disease, actually two, that will probably result in my Demise in due time.
I told her that I could never imagine accepting Butchered Baby Parts to help extend my Life and I asked her how she could justify her position on the matter. I then asked her if she preferred Near Term Fetus parts over non Viable Fetus Parts? I don’t get into Smooth or Crunchy.

Well, my Post was put into Moderation and I received an Email telling me that by Response was inappropriate and would not be Published. In other words, I was a Meanie.

I am amazed how many People were upset about the Undercover Investigators than the Butchers of Viable Fetus’s (Babies) who profit from their Evil. There are many potential Mengele’s out there and they all accuse us of being on the wrong side of this issue. It boggles the mind.

I knew that the Queer-In-Charge was evil, from the moment that the first time he spoke in a church, as President, he had the cloth that hangs over the podium with an emblem on it covered over.

NO other president has ever done that, in my lifetime, not even the rapist Clinton.
