Donald Trump Receives Hero’s Welcome at Liberty University

[Red Steel]

It's become a truism this election season that whatever you expect to happen with Donald Trump, you're probably wrong.

So add this to the list of surprises: On Monday, the thrice-married Republican frontrunner, who described himself as pro-choice as recently as 2000, traveled to the heart of conservative evangelism only to be greeted as a conquering hero.

Trump spoke at the Liberty University convocation on Martin Luther King Day. Liberty is the largest Christian university in the world...

So one might have expected that Trump, who declined to name his favorite Bible verse on the campaign trail, would have received a perfunctory welcome from the 11,000-seat auditorium at the school. Instead, university president Jerry Falwell Jr. called Trump a "breath of fresh air" in his introduction, comparing the Republican frontrunner to Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., and Falwell's own father.

"In my opinion, Mr. Trump lives a life of loving and helping others ...as Jesus taught in the New Testament," Falwell said.

When Trump took the stage after Falwell's fawning opening, he dedicated his "record" attendance at the convocation to Martin Luther King Jr...

Early on in his speech, Trump tailored his message to the crowd and emphasized the power of Christianity in the country. ...

If you look what's going on throughout the world Christianity, it's under siege," Trump continued. "I'm Protestant, I'm very proud of it, Presbyterian to be exact...

Ted Cruz may have been the big loser of the morning. Trump has made clear at Liberty University and in other speeches that he plans to win Iowa, and to fight for the religious voters who have recently elevated his rival.

"I think we could really surprise a lot of people by winning Iowa," Trump said. "And then we're just going to clean the table."

Credit New York values for the successful job.

Yeah...New York elected Hillary Carpetbagger Clinton Senator. Values?

[Jane Long]

Trump offered to pay $6 million for the Park51 Cordoba Mosque site (a princely sum for property then-worth about $4.5 million). Trump was publicly lacerated for his efforts by the property/s investors.

Nevertheless, the GZM was effectively stopped in its tracks. Credit New York values for the successful job.

Amen! And, bump that right to the top!!

Go Trump....hurry and Make America Great, Again!!!

[Jane Long]

The fannyfrying going on, here is something, isn’t it?

GWB/s infamous Islam is a religion of peace---shows how easily Bush was duped into believing that these medieval feudal Mideast countries needed just a taste of democracy to change course.....against the reality of centuries-old sectarian feuding, internecine warfare, deep-seated intractable hatreds and social instability of these people.

==============================================

THE MUSLIM DOCTRINE OF TAQIYYA....ITS OKAY TO LIE TO AN INFIDEL....For those with a discerning eye, taqiyya is all around us. Muslim refugees have pretended to convert to Christianity; an Islamic gunman gained entrance inside a church by feigning interest in Christian prayers. Examples abound on a daily basis.

============================================

THE MO ISLAM USES TO KILL CHRISTIANS In Turkey, to get close enough to a Christian pastor to assassinate him, a group of Muslims — including three women — feigned interest in Christianity, attended his church for over a year, and even participated in baptism ceremonies.

Said the Christian pastor: These people had infiltrated our church and collected information about me, my family and the church and were preparing an attack against us. … Two of them attended our church for over a year and they were like family. It was all a huge pretense to kill the Christian pastor.

=======================================

ISLAM DUPES THE POPE Pope Francis is urging refugees be taken in.....the Pope took a family of Muslim refugees into the Papal residence.....and spoke of his being transformed by them.

Little does he know.

Hate-filled Muslims are saving their most vicious attacks for the Pope: the plan is to hang him in public from the Papal balcony and turn the Vatican into a mosque.....which means destroying 2000 years of priceless works of art.

News reports say there are scores of Muslims surrounding the Vatican....lying-in-wait in Muslim prayer rooms.

“Islam’s plans for a Ground Zero Mosque failed....stopped in its tracks by determined New Yorkers....including Donald Trump.

Back then, Donald Trump offered to put up his own money to stop the mosque/community center planned near Ground Zero.”

Know who led the fight to build that mosque? GROVER NORQUIST

The guy along with Cesar Conda who owns every open border candidate, especially Rubio. Ted Cruz has also signed Norquist’s ‘pledge’...that means they own Cruz too. Trump has NOT signed it.

[snip]am Feisal Abdul Rauf and proponents of his plan to build a 13-story Islamic center near Ground Zero are now being helped by Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform and conservative Republican activist. Norquist and his associates are calling on the Republican Party to drop its opposition to the plan, arguing that the GOP is threatening the rights of Muslims and that its criticism will backfire politically.

Norquist and his friends are distributing a letter saying that the Republicans fighting Imam Rauf’s plan are infringing upon religious freedom and are “alienating millions of Arab American and Muslim American voters who believe, as we do, in the principles of our party—individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law.”

Among those signing the letter are Suhail A. Khan, listed as the Chairman of the Conservative Inclusion Coalition and Norquist’s wife, Samah, listed as a Senior Advisor to Arab and Muslim Outreach for the U.S. Agency for International Development under the Bush Administration.

Islam/s plans for a Ground Zero Mosque failed....stopped in its tracks by determined New Yorkers....including Donald Trump. Trump offered to put up his own money to stop the triumphal mosque Islamics planned near Ground Zero. Trump offered a princely sum for property worth much less. Trump was lacerated for his troubles.

Open border parasite, and alleged conservative, GROVER NORQUIST and his friends, distributed a letter lacerating Republicans....warning the GOP to drop its opposition.

Defending Islamics, the Norquist cabal said the GOP was infringing upon religious freedom and alienating millions of Arab/Muslim American voters who believe in (gag) individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law (nothing about beheadings and shooting up co-workers).

Ted Cruz signed on w/ Norquist. (hat tip Aunt B)

Not surprising since Norquist married a muslim and is rumored to be muslim himself.
