We are currently experiencing both and it is challenging.
I pray FR survives this election. Our forum has never been so divided. But even more so, I pray our divided nation survives. If traitor Hillary or communist Sanders is elected, it will be difficult to continue as a free nation without invoking certain clauses in the Declaration. Our constitution is certainly being put to the test.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
God is in charge. The original colonies were established mostly in the name of Judeo-Christianity and primarily for religious freedom. And our current government was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.
Republican, democrat, conservative, liberal, progressive are all political constructs and are useful, but are not the ultimate causes.
God, family, country, liberty are our causes.
We are all created in God's image. God gave us life and liberty. He taught us how to live, how to work, how to fend for ourselves and family, how to govern ourselves, how to defend ourselves our family our country, and how to worship and be faithful. Most of us on FR believe He had a mighty hand on the founding of our nation and that we should continue seeking Him as our guiding light.
Today we are caught up in what could very well be the climatic struggle for our nation's survival. We've been struggling in this nation against godless progressivism for at least 100 years. And, of course, against Satanic Islamic totalitarianism for 1400 years. Now we have the godless progressives, Marxist communists and Satanic Islamic fascist totalitarians all joining forces to try for the final destruction of our Judeo-Christian nation.
We are being invaded from within and without and we will fail as a nation if we do not recognize this and we fail to unite as a free people under God to fight for our survival.
At first I was very skeptical about Donald Trump entering the race. I'm a great believer in Ted Cruz and his godly conservatism. And I pray that if he's the candidate, that the nation bands together and grants him a landslide victory and a mandate to secure our nation and set it back on the righteous path.
But I have to admit that Trump surprised me and got my patriotic emotions stirring again. He is obviously not the evangelical constitutional conservative that Cruz is, but does appear to be a powerful leader with a love for America and freedom. And he's proving that he can pull in large crowds and great numbers in the polls.
As I said, I was skeptical at first, but after watching him campaign and learning some of the details about his Reagan-like tax plan and his determination to secure our borders and secure our nation I became a little more interested. And his non-PC approach to handling the media and the GOPe intrigued me.
His bold statements that we should build a wall, enforce the law, deport them ALL, end the sanctuary cities, end the anchor babies were shocking to most of the political class, but as his polling numbers attest, are exactly what the people want. Even more shocking were his bold statements of going after the families and the mosques of the terrorists and even slapping a moratorium on Muslim immigration. Shocking, but again, exactly what we need if we are to survive the war the Muslims are waging against us.
The political class to a man immediately rejected these bold statements as being unconstitutional and un-American, but as they see the people are for them, they are starting to come around.
Am I totally sold on Trump? Not yet. But if he continues as he is and doesn't blowup, he could very well be our nominee. And if so, I will support him to the hilt.
We have two great candidates in Cruz and Trump and I hope neither are knocked out too soon. We have RINO amnesty pimps Rubio, Kasich, Bush, et al, lurking just behind. And the GOPe is far from dead.
Go, Cruz, Go!
Go, Trump, Go!
Either way, we win, they lose.
And I pray one of these two gets it and that we can all join forces against the true enemy when he does.
God us all and bless America.
And FReepers, please quit attacking each other. We're all in this together.
Amen!
We are sticking by our principles. They matter to us.
If the choice is Clinton/Sanders vs. Trump, what is the choice?
What makes this election different from Obama vs. McCain or Obama vs. Romney?
Clinton/Sanders vs. Trump?
Trump is just as bad. Has the record to prove it, has no history of being a conservative (the opposite actually, and is rude and obnoxious the entire way.
I do not believe I can vote for a partial birth abortion supporter (whose only “flip” on the issue appears to be the desire to hold political office) who enjoys taking people’s land using the government... my principles matter too much to me.
Can we have separate Trump Caucus and Cruz Caucuses?
Thank you.
As has been explained numerous times here and elsewhere if the two camps attack and weaken one it allows the establishment to move up
Amen! Let us win this one. America is NOT done.
Not feasible.
Jim, I would vote for Trump over those 2. I'm just not going to vote for him before that point. Maybe he will prove to be an American loving Capitalist. I just don't want to vote on something to find out what it says.
Amen
A message from Jim Robinson. Please read the entire message.
Well it was worth asking. Thanks.
Chilling words. Besides the ever present financial needs that if unmet, will sink FR; I presume you mean the Cruz/Trump rhetoric (OK, hate speach) that's currently ongoing?
What a mess! What an ordeal. How do you guys police that? Start bugzapping one side or the other? Nope, don't think so.
Let us all proceed with wisdom and caution here.
Dear Sir,
I was kind of hoping for something like this.
Sort of like when Patton directed the Chaplains to direct the Troops to pray for clear skies.
Prayers Up ~
Bump to the best!
Bless you Jim for all you do and all you put up with.
Well said...thank you!
Thanks PJ
This once great nation is hanging onto the very edge of a precipice, by the tips of its fingernails and what we need to pull this nation back from its fall and reunite the nation, is a bold, patriotic, old fashioned man, who is like the FFs, who were willing to give up their wealth, the safety of themselves and their families, and take on our enemies face on.
Amen, amen!!
Thank you, Jim. God bless you.
You asked a good question. The Religion forum has separate caucuses. They usually work.
But on matters of Trump and Cruz - asking a Cruz supporter to not post on a Trump thread? Or vice-versa?
No. Freaking. Way.
Thank you for the pings and the message.
