Liberty University president Jerry Falwell Jr., the son of the late televangelist, endorsed Donald Trump on Tuesday, giving Republican front-runner the blessing of one of the evangelical community’s biggest names just days before the Iowa caucuses.

The GOPe will do what is necessary to obtain their objective. The whole process is rigged in their favor. Do not doubt this.
This is the Messianic 22nd Psalm, so it’s Jesus speaking:
“9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.”
If you have something else in mind, then I’m always available for the bible.
My question about Jeremiah and Nebuchadnezzar...what do you think?
Romney, McCain, Dole... All of these progressive candidates were “electableable”Â.
That is just an old GOPe tactic which flat out does not result in anything factual.
________________
In reality, McCain and Dole were “our turn” Republicans who inspired absolutely no one.
McCain was running as an establishment Republican while Rome burned (economic meltdown)
Dole was positively ancient, running against a fairly popular Democrat while times were good.
Romney campaigned was like watching prevent defense. He actually did well when he attacked but was overwhelmed the last 3 weeks of the election. If you study the results, had Romney received 500K votes in key states, he would have won the election in 2012.
Was George W. Bush a conservative? Cause he barely won and the voter rolls are very different now, 16 years later.
We need someone shouting from the rooftops with media savvy. Conservatives need to get out from behind their keyboards and go to these polling places to see what our problem is. We are overrun with unqualified voters and the Republican party is powerless to do much about it since they are still under an order from the court regarding cleaning the voter rolls.
There it is. Its the 9th inning.
I agree, we do need to be shouting from the rooftops our conservative principles, but thats just it.
Trump does NOT do this. He does on a single issue. That’s it.
So why embrace him? Why get behind him? Just because he’s shouting the loudest? What is he shouting exactly? What has he BEEN shouting for 4 decades... what did he start shouting VERY recently...?
He is NOT for our values. You have been fooled if you think otherwise.
“The Conservative message all by itself no longer sells.”
I guess we just need to give up on it then right?
Why not just vote Democrat if our principles don’t matter?
What is the difference of compromising (when it matters most) and voting for the other side if both sides have a history of saying the same thing??
I dont need to
check the most recent thread on Trump trashing another Christian, Vanderplaats?
thats a good way to put it...
Trump does NOT do this. He does on a single issue. That’s it.
____________________________
Quickly review the last 15 years in America.
After 911 Bush went to the mosques to show we did not have Islam...then he allowed over 100K Muslims per year to come to America. How did that work out?
Was Bush a guy that let in a bunch of Mexicans to do the work that Americans would not do? Yep.
Did Bush sign a bunch of spending bills that put American further into debt. He never saw a spending bill he didn’t like.
Look at all the damage that Obama has done to the country.
Trump has sat on the sidelines for years hoping the politicians would do the right thing. Just like everyone else he is asking “Why can’t you guys get anything done? who is going to stop the madness?
If you look at history, both conservatives and liberals have destroyed the country. Plenty of blame to go around there, hence the rise of Trump.
Trump is just like many, screaming at the television, on the sidelines, watching the demise of America. Only difference between him and me is the ability to self fund his campaign. Trump has decided to roll up his sleeves after throwing a whole bunch of money at the last 2 Republican candidates.
Trump is a Nationalist. Everybody else can fight over the ideology. If you lose your country, your fighting over nothing anyway.
Trump sees that the Globalists fund the campaigns on both sides. Globalist switch Jerseys constantly and fund both sides. Globalists go to Davos hang out and decide who to fund for the next election.
Cruz has embraced globalist Super Pac money from Mercer, (Renaissance Technologies) who owes the US billions in taxes, which he is currently fighting.
The only candidates to take Super Pacs out of the mix is Sanders and Trump.
Who do you want?
Russell Moore is a leftist democrat. Nothing else needs to be said about this crackpot.
Somehow I really doubt it’s a question of who is more conservative, at this time. I hear the argument against Trump and understand it completely. But screaming about being more conservative, just isn’t what’s moving the voters this time. It’s unfortunate, but it’s a reality.
However, it’s a completely different world today than it was in 1980. I lived it, maybe you did as well.
To witness the globalization coming from all corners, to see and hear all the new foreigners everywhere, to realize muslim cells are HERE, to see the utter chaos in Europe, and to just recognize the out of control spending - all these factors add up to one thing - people are tired of being sold political talk, tired of fighting against the wind and are in desperate need of serious push back.
Perhaps Ted could do all that and more, but his message did not come out that way. Contrasted against Trump, he comes off like a pretty typical politician. You may recognize that he’s anything but, it’s just that non-political people DO NOT.
I personally am not influenced by any endorsements. What influences me at all, is the conversations with people I trust who understand the inner workings far better than the average person.
You know, I couldn’t care less that you don’t like Donald Trump. I couldn’t care less if you wouldn’t vote for him in the general if he wins the nomination. What I do care about is this BS on one’s religious views or “lack there of” as many have put it, because they support Donald Trump. Jerry Falwell explains why he supports Donald Trump and it has nothing to do with his religious views. You would have known this had you bothered to look. But you apparently are too good for that and think you have a higher moral authority over others. You are blinded by your own ignorance.
BACKSLIDING CHRISTIANS FOR TRUMP, there`s a slogan
Do you intend to answer my question about Jeremiah and Nebuchadnezzar?
I knew what you meant the moment you said it, Trump is no Jeremiah, no Prophet
And I asked you if you knew what Jesus said about children in the womb, yet you are going to support Trump anyway
You have no argument
I pray your eyes are opened
Nope. Trump parallels Nebuchadnezzar. I can’t imagine viewing him as Jeremiah.
The Lord told the Jewish people through Jeremiah the prophet that Nebuchadnezzar was God’s own tool. He was a vile, idolatrous, hard-driven, vain man. God humbled him, and at the end of Daniel he praised the God of heaven.
Remember: It is God who raises and deposes kings.
With Obama America got what it asked for. With Trump they will get what they deserve. Cruz might give them what they need, but I don’t think that’s where this is going.
I’m talking about his religious views...not how he votes.
Interview: Russell Moore on His Past Life as a Democrat, Religious Liberty, and Franklin Graham
My church has Democrats and Republicans. Most do.
Good for you. Neither do I. Do not need Jerry Falwell, Franklin Graham or any other national evangelical when it comes to my vote.
I was just pointing out that others in his position have a dissenting opinion.
Falwell’s tingle down his leg doesn’t affect me one iota.
I believe it was Romneycare, myself. I bit the bullet and kicked my butt to the voting machine and pulled the lever for him.
Purity? Since when has there been another immaculate conception?
Your Marxist tone is showing. I refuse to give up Conservative principles. I shouldn’t have to.
