Trump grows Iowa lead as 69 per cent of the state's Republicans agree with his claim Obama is 'waging a war on Christianity' – but 3 in 10 also think Islam should be OUTLAWED

Survey of Iowa Republicans found Donald Trump leads the field with 24 per cent, followed by Ben Carson at 17 and Carly FIorina at 13 Trump has picked up five points since the first debate in Cleveland; Everyone else in the GOP Iowa Caucus race is mired in single digits Trump's staying power might be rooted in the state's deep religious roots, with 54 per cent of Republicans describing themselves as 'evangelicals' Sixty-nine per cent agree with Trump's complaint that President Obama is waging a 'war on Christianity' Another 30 per cent believe Islam should be illegal Donald Trump has emerged none the worse for wear in Iowa after last week's Republican primary debate, leading in the all-important first caucus state according to a statewide poll released Tuesday.

Trump's recent emphasis on religion – he carried a Bible on stage at Saturday's 'Faith and Freedom Forum' in Des Moines and sat down for a multi-part interview last week with the Christian Broadcasting Network? – has borne fruit In Iowa's deeply religious farm country.

Fifty-four per cent of Republicans surveyed by Public Policy Polling said they were evangelical Christians. Sixty-nine percent said they agree with Trump's complaint that President Barack Obama is waging a 'war on Christianity.'

Another 30 per cent told pollsters they believe the religion of Islam should be 'illegal in the United States.' That position bolsters Dr. Ben Carson, the poll's second-place finisher, who said on Sunday that he wouldn't support the election of a Muslim as America's president because Islam is 'inconsistent' with the U.S. Constitution.

Bo is indeed attacking Christians from every angle, including the use of Muslims, queers, and leftist criminals. It is an odd alliance. An even bigger war, BO is leading against white Europeans.

Trump is a leader. He was the Corp Commander when he graduated from the military school he attended.

Islam has never been a religion, it is a violent political movement designed to steal property and subjugate the masses, not unlike other organized crime rings such as communism, socialism, and the mafia. People must come to understand what organized crime means.

Pope Francis (Jorge Bergoglio) and Barrack Hussein Obama have much in common

Yes they do, two peas in a collective pod.

Jesus Christ crucified on a communist hammer and sickle

I saw a picture of that on a thread, then the pic disappeared.

Not only the sculpture - but he also allowed the Marxist President, Evo Morales, of Bolivia - to place several medallions around his neck - which bore the same imagery, and celebrated a Marxist “priest,” Fr. Espinal, who was killed while fighting alongside guerrilla insurgents ... This is the Liberation Theology (an invention of the Soviet KGB) that Pope Francis supports (he honors its “theologians”). Francis and his apologists attempt to parse the heresy by claiming that there exist differing versions of Liberation Theology, a claim that is total bullsh*t.

Here is the link to those pictures (the sculpture and the medallions) and the “clarification” by Pope Francis:

‘For the record: Pope Francis personally clarifies that he was not offended by Hammer-and-Sickle “crucifix”, explicitly acknowledges the Marxism of its Jesuit originator — and praises him.’

Read it and weep - as they say.

He’s unafraid to take on anybody and unafraid of political correctness. I wish it were more common.
