I would ask

yet that would make the thread be about me.

This is still in the religion forum, where we are supposed to not make it personal.

I have sold out nothing much that I'm aware of. I don't think the Congressional Freedom Caucus did either.

They would have though, had they had gone along with the Ryan/Trump approved proposal. As far as I can tell, the Freedom Caucus opposed it on principle that the legislation Ryan proposed did not repeal ObamaCare, leaving far too much of it extant & intact. Which goes very strongly against the promises those legislators made to repeal the ACA, going also against 'conservative principles' you are accusing them (and ME) of being hypocritical about.

Do you have a passage of King James Bible that would directly address this issue (of yourself quite possibly having things very much backwards)?

What's the real beef? Is it that ObamaCare will now not be repealed? That's a possibility, but the Ryan plan didn't necessarily repeal the increasingly affordable ACA anyhow. OR -- are you upset that the FC went against Trump?

What was left as "later we'll get around to it, promise-promise" [just trust us!] was that there would be further action taken which would result in reduction of recent health care insurance premiums.

That's no way to negotiate. There is no reason to trust they (House & Senate) would be able to do that, not as long as the larger bulk of ObamaCare legislation was still in effect.

Boy, Hypocrisy was the perfect topic for the first thread.

Are there no mirrors in your house? James 1 (KJV);

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Hearers of the word. That does not include the House Freedom Caucus need set aside the Word (of God) for word (and in the future promises!) of Ryan, and by extension, President Trump.

If there is some biblical principle the FC has set aside/contravened, then please, feel free to make the case. Take a shot at it. Make it good. Here's the big chance.

The target, with imprinted image of a big buck, has lifted it's head so to speak (got buck fever yet?).

If 10-ring bullseye is too much ask, at the least, put it on the paper, would you? I've got the spotting scope set up nearby. Missing the target cleanly (not touching it, at all) would be sin, at this time. Pretend you're hunting, and you've got only one chance.
