Donald Trump kicks over the money changer tables in the temple in Jerusalem, and throws tea into Boston Harbor.
Revolutions. How times have we heard that revolutions have been carried out for less than what Washington has forced on us? The organization that is nominally on our side is just as corrupt.
Donald Trump is the revolution. He must go after the nearby corruption before tackling the state, just as Jesus the Jew attacked his priests before taking on Rome. Our founding fathers had to deal with colonial loyalists, while fighting the British.
Revolutions are messy, difficult to watch. The Weatherman of the 1960’s and 1970’s were vile and violent, then went dormant, then attained power in 2008. We don’t have that kind of time.
Today, we have the vile, without the violence. Our revolution is peaceful, but at times ugly and disconcerting; a small sacrifice for major change.
Trump knows this, and is not going anywhere.
Ducks Unlimited?
You're in desperate need of an intervention from your family..... get back on your meds before it's too late.
Agreed.
Here's the big problem (as I see it):
Many Americans (many right in this forum, not you) are addicted to amusement (turning their minds off with useless activity). Their's is a "Reality TV" world. Their attention lasts only a few seconds and then they're off to another amusement. Their thoughts are controlled by their appetite for entertainment.
I have been fooled, too. I thought that conservatives were independent thinkers. Many are. But many are only going on a conservative ride (as in an amusement park). I am surprised how many are so eagerly chasing a man of such low caliber. They are not thinking at all.
They are not thinking past the moment. They are not considering more than their immediate gratification (revenge, base instincts, lust, etc). Look at their crude language right here in this thread.
And just who are these men of higher-caliber than Trump?
And who might you be alluding to? Before you answer, I entreat you to search high and low for my declaration of support for any candidate. Your hyperbole is showing. The animus towards Trump is similar to that which Progs reserve for Sarah Palin. Truly astounding.
Trump typically has a bunch of yes-men and he dictates to them, not motivates then. In business that can work when bold leadership is needed. In the case of the USA one could argue bold leadership is needed to make the cuts that are needed (entire agencies) without regard to howls and whines of the media and the elite.
I am more than willing to listen, let Trump flush out the RINOs, get free publicity in the media, etc. I especially like the fact that he has so far mainly attacked the left and some of the RINOs. But I won't vote just for his leadership style if he doesn't have the policies to go with it. We need bold leaders who will actually make the government cuts so that the economy, churches, charities, etc. can restore themselves.
You said: ,,,"That’s right, God is using Donald Trump to save America the way he spoke through Balaam’s ass to warn the wayward prophet."
or did you forget? You and others are slinging so much hyperbole around you can;t keep track of it. LOL.
Ted Cruz. Scott Walker. For openers. You can’t go wrong with either of those two fine candidates. This would be a win-win nomination process, but the guy with the non-stop twitter feed keeps dragging the topic off to things like Megyn Kelly’s menstrual cycle.
Yes, I am for Cruz, but I have my doubts about Walker, he seems to be another milquetoast candidate.
That’s hilarious!

Since the end of July? Because that's when Trump went on "Morning Joe" and admitted some of his positions are those of a Democrat.
Are you series?
This is like a turkey shoot!
IMO here's a list of Republican, announced candidates who are of higher caliber than Trump, (bolded are especially higher, strike-outs are arguable):
Jeb Bush
Ben CarsonChris Christie
Ted Cruz!
Carly Fiorina
Jim GilmoreLindsey Graham
Mike Huckabee
Bobby Jindal
John Kasich
George Pataki
Rand Paul
Rick Perry
Marco Rubio
Rick Santorum
Scott Walker
(I loved your question!)
And so what. He knows money talks; so did King Solomon.
What he is using it to say makes all the difference.
Is this a serious question?
Give it a rest. Trump has some leadership qualities (mainly autocratic) that might prove to be successful if he truly decides and can be trusted to cut government. He believes in the sequester approach and lowering the deficit and debt. But does he believe in slashing government to get it out of the way (e.g. the EPA). I have not heard much on that except the global warming issue. But if Trump turns out to have the right policies he will be a good choice for rational people not just white robed believers.
No, I said He is not speaking through him by saying He is speaking through him and saying it an ironic voice. Slinging hyperbole? Now you got it! Now that’s what I came here to save Jesus from. Glad we came together on something.
The real enemy serves to devour what is good huh.
How about the insane illegale problem. I guess they aren’t devouring anything good.
Oh woe, Trump has done something that has a virtuous precedent.
Therefore we must destroy him because he did not perform the requisite obeisances to the temple altar in the process.
