Here's my opus since it is demanded of me.

opus

[Kartographer]

I for one am glad that some of the most difficult posters who have been making this forum unbearable have found the door.

What forum did you mean to make your post on?

[Pollster1]

"Opus". You will be missed.

[thoughtomator]

Government is about coercion and violence.

A religion which is not about coercion and violence will find in government no appropriate tools to advance its tenets.

[Kartographer]

"Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor...” (George Washington)

Asked to opus out by whom? One of the Trumpenoids?

[raybbr]

I am on your side. The rise of trump on FR has seen the rise of incivility like I’ve never seen since I joined.

Asked to opus out by whom? One of the Trumpenoids?

Just like a a Cruzhole, blaming his own shortcomings on Trump. Repent and roll in the Glenn Beck Cheetos crumbs.

[Pollster1]

Just a thought, but it may be time for Freepers to stop opusing out and for Trump supporters at FR to stop demanding that. [Okay, it was always time for that, but after today’s voting, there’s a pretty good excuse too!] Assuming Trump wins today in Indiana, the primaries are effectively over.

It is time - well past time - for conservatives to unite. There is no point in the personal attacks against Cruz or his supporters (unless, of course, you’re a paid Hillary shill who wants to keep the Cruz voters home in November). There is no point in Cruz supporters to continue advocating for their candidate unless he wins in Indiana. Yes, he’s a good man and one of the most reliable conservatives alive, but he cannot be nominated unless something happens to Trump’s health (unlikely).

That time came for Perry supporters for three reasons: his awkwardness when speaking off the cuff, his weakness in connecting with voters, and . . . um . . . I forgot the other reason. No one advocates for Perry any more or attacks his supporters.

That time came for Walker supporters too. No one advocates for Walker any more or attacks his supporters.

That time has come for Cruz and his supporters and his detractors too. I agree with the Cruz supporters that he would be a great president, but that is no more relevant that Walker’s or Perry’s potential.

Cruz and Trump agree on 80% or more of the key issues (see the Ted Cruz voting record and his written positions, and Donald Trump’s written and oral statements for the past decade), and Cruz can no longer harm Trump’s chances at the nomination. It’s time for their supporters to treat each other as 80% friends, not as 20% enemies.

[thoughtomator]

Nations and governments are two very different things.

[Kartographer]

"Whereas true religion and good morals are the only solid foundations of public liberty and happiness . . . it is hereby earnestly recommended to the several States to take the most effectual measures for the encouragement thereof." Continental Congress, 1778

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion . . . Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." John Adams

It’s time for their supporters to treat each other as 80% 20% friends, not as 20% 80% enemies.

There fixed it.

[csvset]

The decent of Cruz has brought about madness amongst his acolytes. Stabby, Cheeto face Glenn Beck anyone? Go away Ted, Texas, Cuba, Canada, just go away.

[PhilDragoo]

The prime imperative is a) saving the Republic by b) blocking Hillary.

Supporters of Ted Cruz will find their standard bearer not at 1600 Pennsylvania taking the arrows from seventy-four Democrat members of the press corps, but either as Attorney General putting Hillary in Federal prison or on the Supreme Court reinstating the Constitution.

Donald Trump will be the candidate to thwart Medusa of the foreign money and Ameriphobia.

Politics is war by other means; the exchange has been rigorous.

Early on I envisioned a Trump-Cruz ticket, capable of such naivete even now.

On to Washington to clean the stable and rout the traitors and criminals.

Soon time to get the Lincoln & Lee on, bind up and all of that.

There is a wide historic front--bigger than one man can handle.

It will start on this forum, hopefully, he added, before December.

[thoughtomator]

If the lesson you have drawn from those quotes is that it gives license to government enforcement of religion, you have misread them.

[Kartographer]

I disagree: Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. Can you give me your interruption of what that means since you don't believe what it says?
