Donald Trump Can't Hold a Wheelie Forever (Freedom of Religion and Property Rights)
American Thinker ^ | October 30, 2015 | Geoffrey P. Hunt

Posted on 10/31/2015 4:21:50 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

Donald Trump grabbed many of us with his immigration hole-shot. His all-purpose chlorine bleach burn-outs wiping out political correctness have been equally spectacular-not just for the strutting, but for calling out to the NHRA grandstand-crowd, the erstwhile silent disenfranchised majority.

All Donald had to do was keep his front end under control. Wheelies can be entertaining, but they usually lead to the wrong end of a bill of sale.

But no: Trump couldn't resist cracking open the nitrous bottle when he should have pinched the valve and locked it away in the trunk. Soon enough, our quarter-mile rooster will need a tow back to the trailer apron.

First he dissed God. Now he's dissed non-conformist Christians. In the meantime, he dissed property rights, the handmaiden to religious liberty. C'mon, Donald-what's wrong with you, man?

SNIP

When Donald disparages Ben Carson's faith, and Carson's longstanding adherence to the doctrines of Seventh-Day Adventists, Trump trashes the core of American exceptionalism-religious liberty and religious toleration. Haven't we seen enough of that from Obama?

Liberty and limited government were envisioned and launched by non-conformist religious sects-or, as Trump harrumphs, "fringe denominations."

SNIP

While Trump's disdain for religious diversity is bad enough, he assaults the accompanying bedrock of American liberty-the right to private property. This is no benign musing of narrow circumstances, where eminent domain via the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment occasionally elbows out due process for purposes of "common good."

You know I love ya, LVR, but so far all it looks like is a typical food fight in the FR cafeteria. You have a pretty good aim with the mashed potatoes, so you’ll hold your own. :)

Every poison has it’s antidote, which is sometimes a similar compound to the poison.

Trump is Obama antidote: Strong, similar in format and level of support, but designed for a totally different goal.

The alternative is to not vote/vote RINO and let the Progs force more poison down our throats.

‘I don’t know much about it” = “he wanted to insinuate that it is an odd-ball religion”

I don’t know much about Hockey, but I don’t think it’s an odd-ball Sport, it’s just not my cup of Tea.

I did not see any insinuation being made my Trump, but like everyone else here you are entitled to your OPINION.

For the record, I’m a Cruz Supporter and The Donald is my second choice. The rest of them are the same old, same old.

Since you claim no Candidate, might I suggest you go with Cruz, just as the Owner of this Site has? You could spend your time on the Pro Cruz Threads rather than wasting your time and energy relentlessly attacking The Donald.

I doubt you have lessened anyone’s Support of Trump on this Site, but you may have actually added to it.
