Yep, I think that’s right. They have invented a sinister sounding word for what is basically standard Christian belief.

Does he really think Obama is a communist? I doubt it. But tarring Obama with that label obviously works, especially since half of his audience doesn't know what communism is, only that it is evil. And certainly out-group.

Well, isn't that special. I'm sure you polled every single attendant to find out their understanding of communism, eh, Bobby? I'd wager that several of the attendants in that audience were veterans who did a hell of a lot more in their lives than you ever did, Bobby, and they know a lot more than you do about communism.

Worthless liberal dipwad.

Was the author equally appalled at the prospect of an Attorney General saying he’s going to take care of “my people”.

My question would be to the audience here on FR- if The Donald chose Ted Cruz
as his running mate as VP would it not change the face of the VP?

*************

Yes, but.........

I don’t think Cruz will be VP. The race will be decided in a select few states, probably
less than 10 and most likely the VP will be chosen as someone who could help win some of
those states. Secondly, a VP is often closeted or limited in his role/activities and I
don’t see Cruz wanting to be in that situation. JMO.

From my observations during these past years Uncle Joe has been intentionally muted & dumbed down bootlicker by Herr Executive Order. You’ll not see both of them together much & only as needed because these two clowns have different photographers It’s quite interesting of Herr Executive Order has managed to effectively muffle Uncle Joe.& they are not two peas in a pod either & their political views are like chalk & cheese so to speak.

In the most recent past many see Uncle Joe inappropriately touching women or putting his head up his ass with bizarre commenting.

It’s really about time a new POTUS and the VPOTUS would stand together united in salvaging the shitehole mess Herr Executive Order has made of this country.

I once read a journo story on Uncle Joe and his personality & how he is in REAL life & how he relates to people in general and those around him. The journo was up close & personal w/Uncle Joe & followed him everywhere & came to some startling conclusions which do not reflect positivity.

Uncle Joe has been collecting from the gubmint for a very long time prior to his ascendency as VP and he’s one of those guys who has a entitlement complex but then again that’s my opinion & the conclusions I reached after reading that journ’s report.

I’ve been looking for this piece of journo for a while now & can’t find it but when I do I’ll post it here on FR-
Uncle Joe is a real character and totally insincere human being.

Although the story is salted with the usual left wing drivel, I found it interesting how the writer recoiled in horror at all the Christian children. They were everywhere - in churches, at home schools and sitting at the feet of pastors and Senator Cruz.

I admit I was likewise amazed, but in a good way, seeing all the Christian children in a southern community we moved to. Kids were everywhere - walking on the streets, in shopping malls and playgrounds. It was quite a contrast from the aging and crumbling northern community we moved from. There, children were far and few between as compared to the south.

Here in the south, big families with children seem to be the norm. Local governments and families are investing a bunch of money on children, the future. That, IMO, bodes well for a strong America in the coming years.

Anyway, I see the references the writer makes to children quite positive, while the writer is repelled. He has seen the future in Christian children, and it’s not a good sign for him and his repulsive Marxist travelers.

I postulate that such a coalition already exists.

Right here on FR, as well as on FB, the joining together in common cause (as when putting businesses on the "naughty list" at Christmas, or getting Cracker Barrel to reverse on taking down Duck Dynasty merch), no one asks "Catholic or Protestant? Calvinist or Arminian? General Association or SBC?"

Senator Cuz is inventing nothing. If he does anything, he will merely give new purpose to that which is already present.

“America was founded as a Christian nation, after all.”

This is what its about for the Libterds. Its not Ted Cruz its Christianity they really fear and loathe. They hate the message more than the messenger.

To liberals, insult and derision are signs of intelligence and truth.

You can’t talk to them because they are literally 13 years old.

It’s an eye opening piece. The author is so entirely brainwashed, no doubt having spent years surrounded by similarly indoctrinated smug “intellectuals.” It’s not surprising the author has no capacity for understanding Christian Americans who seek to live their faith. He’s one of the ones who think his view of reality should be forced upon them because it’s better than their faith.

Wishful thinking. Such coalitions are a marriage of convenience. Tell them all they have to commit to eating Chic-Filet until it is the undisputed king of fast food and the effectiveness of such marriages will become readily apparent.

Papertyger, Thanks for the explanation. I do see what you are saying now and can somewhat agree.

BTW.... My “specific authorization from God” is the Holy Scriptures (the Bible) which is the living WORD of God.... nothing less and nothing more. And even there, I guess we have to account for possible mis-translations from the original manuscripts.

Yea, I’m all in for Cruz! He’s a squeaky clean guy and they hate him for it (along with lots of other stuff). It pains me more folks don’t see he’s the best we had since Reagan (better in that I think he’s a true Christian). I just meant the media will hate him and do everything they can to undermine him if he gets the nod. They never quit, they lie and they make stuff up (but I repeat myself). I would love to see a debate with Cruz and Hitlery.

Thank you for that link. Interesting and helps explain Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton in my mind. :)

And don't forget all the doctrines that, despite the rhetoric, are NOT specifically, positively, enunciated in the Scriptures such as baptism.

Those divisions run long and deep, and show absolutely no sign of resolving themselves.

Hey, your incitement thread is over there. What are you mooing about over here? You left us like an outside troll.

I was wondering why you hit and run over there. You should probably answer your inbox, since you’re so invested in TDS, with your TRUMP troll threads. You have earned the mail.

She would have no problem with elementary school children being forced to sing Christian songs where the Messiah is replaced with Barack Obama. That kind of indoctrination is okay. MMM MMM MMM, Barack Hussein Obama. She did not have a complaint that public school children are being forced to recite Muslim loyalty to Allah and sing songs to Allah in public schools.

Christian children need a Christian world view and history/identity. Everyone has a world view. This one hates the Christian world view and while pretending to be a Christian, she holds a liberal/socialist, anti-Christ, anti-American world view. Her party voted to expel God from the party platform two times last election. She is ssssssoooo superior.

“...Obama sees himself as holier than the pope? It doesn’t matter. It places Obama in the out-group, and portrays the president as smug, self-righteous and condescending.”

And your point is, Salon Pajama Boy?
