In other words, prepare to “lock and load.”

Perhaps Franklin can get rid of his church tax-exempt status (IRS 501 C3) ...

just like Hillsdale College has ...

and get in the battle ... FREE TO FIGHT ... unhindered ...

... but, alas, that would probably cost Franklin his (obscene) $ 800,000 annual salary ...

oh well ... back to the drawing board ...

Elections do have consequences. Electing Clinton is only going to make matters worse. Goodbye America.

“Goodbye America”

Not so fast my friend. Don’t throw in the towel yet, we still gotta shot.

Yes prepare for but also work to prevent - by only voting for Godly Christians.

Yeah...And how much do you make???

Whatever it is, it's too much.

Why don't you man up and go and do the things and go to the places Franklin goes too?

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ― Theodore Roosevelt

It's EASY being a critic.

Most of the mainline churches (i.e., Big Religion) that I’m aware of are going along with the trend of modifying Holy Scripture to be more accepting, tolerant, and in tune with the times.

Roger that.

Remember, though - the absence of Christian persecution in the west is a historical aberration.
Christians have always been persecuted throughout the world and throughout history.
I think the main difference is western (read: American) Christians are heavily armed (just wish they would wield their Word of God as well as they wield their firearms).

Wielding the Word of God provides eons more firepower than rusty “firearms”.

I know they are and they’ll be found severely wanting when the time comes to put up or shut up. Seems like they’ve already decided and are siding with the enemy though.

Let’s hope so but I’m seeing businesses close their doors on a daily basis in the rural area where I live. Plywood and chipboard is getting hard to find around here. Obama’s “boomin’ economy” isn’t boomin’ as much as his toads in the state controlled “media” would like us to believe.

it’s easy to do Franklin’s work when he makes $ 800,000 a year ... the truth hurts, doesn’t it ?

It's easy to critique others, when you yourself do nothing.

Anybody can be an armchair quarterback and complain about a quarterback who makes millions, getting hit by a 350 pound lineman.

Graham might be getting paid BUT he's still on the field.

YOU'RE NOT.

Want to complain about Graham???
Man up buttercup.
Or shut the ---- up!

I know my friend. just hold fast.

After all, even in your profile you state: “once we take our government and our country back.”

Once we take our government and our country back............absolutely right. I have to believe it’ll happen.

I'm "on the field" in more ways than you'll ever know, "Bubba".

"Period".



Would Franklin Grahamn be "anything" without his daddy's name ? Probably not.

Would Franklin Grahamn be making making $ 800,000 a year without his daddy's name ? VERY Probably not.

Would Franklin Grahamn be waltzing around his corporate CEO offices without his daddy's name ? VERY Probably not.



Talk is cheap, and frankly (no pun intended), that's pretty much all of what Franklin Graham ... talk, talk, talk.

When was the last time Franklin Graham bussed hundreds to protest Planned Parenthood ?



Does Franklin Graham speak-out against Islam and Gay Marriage ? Sure, he does, and he deserves credit for it.

But he's just another member of the "establishment aristocracy" with his $ 800,000 annual salary.

He could easily live comfortably with $ 150,000, but his GREED is overpowers his "religious convictions".



If it weren't for my great respect for his daddy, I'd say that Franklin Graham simply inherited the "good life".

So many Christians are uncomfortable with Franklin Graham's outrageous $ 800,000 salary ... they're just not willing to say anything about it ... and that's a fact.

Deal with it.
