I stand corrected - and I’m not into slurs (or idols or cults). It was Donald Trump who, referring to Dr. Carson’s autobiography, made remarks about his (Carson’s) adolescent issues with anger along the lines of “incurable; like pedophilia”. Actually much worse accusations than calling him a liar. The point is Trump’s demonstrated that he’ll say anything in the moment, even if he doesn’t believe it, to “win”.
If Carson can support Trump, then I can, too (since he’s the only option to Hillary) but there’s no question in my mind who’s the better man. Nor do I intend to wear blinders about Trump. He may turn out to be a great POTUS but he’s a flawed human like the rest of us. He may not think so since he’s said he’s never felt the need to ask God’s forgiveness, many of his spporters may not think so, but the authority of Scripture supersedes the opinion of any man.
We need a George Washington in this hour, but as Sylvia Thompson wrote in her column last week, God has used “ordinary, (even extremely flawed) men to accomplish His will”. I hope Trump is an answer to our prayers.
A few rays of sunshine and wisdom in you post. Thanks for it.
You know, maybe it’s because of all the time I spent in Brooklyn, but that kind of speech is pretty normal to me, no matter who’s talking about what.
And you don’t have to like Mr. Trump to vote for him. It’s not like there’s anyone who’s a perfect candidate. Heck of a lot better than the alternatives.
But to address your comments. In this time, in this place, it’s better in my opinion to go too far than to not go far enough, especially if you’re a New Yorker who has that as his thing.
