On January 18, Jerry Falwell, Jr. welcomed Donald Trump to Liberty University to speak in the school's chapel. As the college president who wrote the "this is not a daycare" article that received so much national attention recently, I have been asked by the media if I would be next: Will I be inviting Mr. Trump to Oklahoma Wesleyan University to speak in our chapel service? My answer has been simple and brief. No, I will not.
In selecting speakers for Oklahoma Wesleyan, party affiliation and political positions do not matter. Personal conduct, public statements, theological integrity and moral consistency do ...
Anyone who is pro-abortion is not on my side. Anyone who calls women "pigs," "ugly," "fat" and "pieces of a-" is not on my side. Anyone who mocks the handicapped is not on my side. Anyone who has argued the merits of a government takeover of banks, student loans, the auto industry and healthcare is not on my side ...

Thanks
I honestly would be shocked if he did anything more than strengthen the military and maybe secure the border. However, many of the other issues like religious liberty are hardly on his radar during the primary so I don’t think he will do anything on them once he is president.
I hope I am wrong but I think you will find that as soon as he gets the nomination he will run to the left super fast. He already has started talking about how well he can work with the democrats to do deals and get things done.
And that was even before I saw who posted it...
By that reasoning, get ready for a Y-U-U-U-G-E Trump landslide.
Oh, good night! This isn't about 'politically correct', it's about basic manners in good company, and basic human dignity.
I don't know about you, but if my mamma saw me acting up like that, she'd have tanned my hide - and then told my dad she saw it, and then he'd tan my hide, just on general principles... My Dad's gone now, but my mamma is well into her 70's and if I acted like that even now, she'd be hauling me to heel. Decent folk don't act like that.
Don't be confusing the basic manners and etiquette of polite society with 'political correctness'. If you was raised right, you know the difference - and to try to defend the man on this point is simply unconscionable.
It’s political correctness, plain and simple. Putting handicapped people in a “protected class”. Shameful. Give them the dignity of being treated as everybody else.
It is not a lie. There is plenty of evidence contrary to his words.
It is not current. Trump is pro life.
How can it possibly be beyond reason to question the morality of Trump? Evidence ABOUNDS. You don't even have to dig for it. It's right there in his lifestyle, his business practices, and his general demeanor.
ABSOLUTELY.
Reagan made deals with Tip O’Neill. But Reagan got the top three things he wanted, and that’s frankly all we can hope to ask for out of a President.
True.
What are the foundations?
You don’t think he’d cut taxes and regulations? Perhaps make better trade deals and possibly bomb the crap out of ISIS? Take their oil, leave the cannoli?
Bullcrap. Somebody acts like that around me, I'll be obliged to dot his eye. Totally unacceptable behavior. That common decency has fallen so far is stunning to me.
He says. I am more interested in what he does. Road to Damascus conversions are poor evidence.
Of course you didn’t.
It just tickled me because I really don’t like muslims either.
As far as this whole making fun of handicapped thing is concerned, it’s only an issue because it’s Trump and he hasn’t shown himself to be all that sensitive to the feelings of others.
Some people like that. I don’t.
A mother of a handicapped daughter was hurt when she saw Trump apparently mocking the handicapped reporter. It hurt her because people have done similar things to her daughter.
She was one of the posters on this thread.
True.
A: One thing about me, I'm a very honorable guy. I'm pro-life, but I changed my view a number of years ago. One of the primary reasons I changed [was] a friend of mine's wife was pregnant, and he didn't really want the baby. He was crying as he was telling me the story. He ends up having the baby and the baby is the apple of his eye. It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to him. And you know here's a baby that wasn't going to be let into life. And I heard this, and some other stories, and I am pro-life.
Q: So those stories did change you, they came around and changed you?
A: They changed me. Yeah, they changed my view as to that, absolutely.
