LOL at your tagline. That’s great.

...if you Google that phrase, you can read the whole original source.

You have been warned.

He didn’t mention his mom either did he?

Why don’t you make your own list, this is his.

Oh gee is he running for dictator or president? Because I see nothing in his position papers or the fact he’s running for president in the normal political process, to indicate that he’s going to be a dictator, which is a ridiculous assertion.

Let me ask you this, do you think Obama is acting like a dictator? Using Executive Orders to do whatever he wants, as he likes, and going around Congress? Do you think Obama cares about the Constitutional process?

Because Trump HAS said he isn’t bothered by Obama’s EO’s and even went so far, as to say he’ll do them too, to get what HE wants done. And like I said, no where in anything Trump has said, has he ever mentioned the Constitution, or the process with which he plans to do all of these things HE claims specifically that HE will do.

Sorry, but he speaks a lot like dictators in the past have spoken. And while it sounds a lot like someone and may not be, the history of Obama, telling us all the things he was going to do, before he was elected, should be a warning for us to truly pay attention to what people say and what their intent is. I don’t trust Trump, so I don’t trust his intent, when he brags non-stop, literally, about how great HE is, and how wonderful HE is and how HE will do so many things and make so many deals, etc etc. He’s telling us what he’ll do, literally, and so many are not really listening.

I, for one, do not want a repeat of Obama, I don’t care what the man promises. Narcissitic, egomaniacal, arrogant, bragart, who has a history of doing for himself, first and foremost? Yeh, you can keep that.

I’d be curious to see how many campaign promises Obama made? over 2 campaigns.....

I'm exasperated by the number of goofy promises Obama has made that the Republicans in Congress are helping him to keep.

“I’d be curious to see how many campaign promises Obama made? over 2 campaigns”

ARE THERE REALLY 140 UNFULFILLED OBAMA PROMISES FROM PAST STATE OF UNION ADDRESSES?

Trump will not be a dictator. Saving Christianity your job -it’s not in the Constitution.

He will fight to provide an environment without political correctness, that will allow for religious freedom for all.

I think you are a perfect example of exaggerated thinking. Even Obama is not a dictator. Trump is not Obama. There is no reason to believe Trump would be a dictator. None. Not if you have any sense of what real dictators do and how they do it.

Now could Trump overuse executive orders? Sure but let’s not fly off into hyperbole.

I don’t see Save Christianity. Did I miss it?

I saw saying Merry Christmas again as an item. Otherwise, government doesn't need to save Christianity. Christians need to save themselves.

Early in the campaign he said the anchor baby policies as currently practiced aren't really legal; and after a media firestrorm, he followed up with saying he had received opinions from Constitutional scholars that supported his view. He also has mentoned Constitutional scholarship in relation to Cruz's birth status.

"Reduce the $18 National Debt"

Eighteen bucks? Is that all? I thought it was thousands and thousands of dollars. Heck, I got that much in loose change on my dresser. Just let me know where to send it.

One thing is FOR SURE:

Every promise of the GOP in 2014 was a lie. The GOP did not fulfil ONE campaign promise they swore to, if we'd just give them the Senate. Every GOP candidate made the promises, every GOP senator lied.

In other words, they are known and proven liars.

government doesn't need to save Christianity. Christians need to save themselves.

I believe he is referring in his simplistic speaking stye to the open legal persecution of Christians and Christianity going on in this country now, where Christians are being targeted for abuse and fines for not baking a gay wedding cake or providing other artisan services to gay weddings, etc. In New York State, a couple who hosted weddings on their private farm were recently fined thousands of dollars and also have to go to "reeducation class". That's like the Soviet Union.

You're familiar probably with the Kim Davis flap about having to sign wedding licenses. There is also a rash of lawsuits against Chatholic schools by gay activists who apply for jobs there and promise to uphold church teachings, then announce they getting gay married once they have a foothold. How about the Christian children in the State of Maryland having to recite the muslim shahada vow, that makes them muslim and then subject to honor killings if they don't cover up, with two weeks of classroom indoctrination into Islam, but only a few hours spent on Christianity -- all part of Common Core -- or fail the class and have college admission status harmed. Then there's the sex education prmoting homosexuality, compulsory for all grades including kindergarten, that has been forced on American families. There have been several lawsuits against universities for throwing doctoral students in counseling out after years of studies, denying them their degree if they request on conscience grounds not to have to counsel gay people affirmatively, or if they recommend that gays take a referral to someone who supports their activities.

How about the importation of millions of muslims, while Christians are denied entry, even while they are being subjected to genocide in the Middle East? Yes, it's true. I could

go on... but the point is, all these persecutions have by now been enshirined in U.S. case law and precedent. It will take some creative work by the incoming DOJ to try to turn this mess around.

At Liberty University last week, Trump said Christians need protection, and I hope he can help stop this desecration of the culture our Constitution and history were based upon.

I work for a DOD contractor and there is plenty of room to cut. The dirty little secret is, once a contractor gets a job, their goal is to spend every dime to enhance profits - leave no money on the table. Even if it means hiring people that don’t have the skills, just get people charging to the job number.

So, you point out that Trump is more than willing to bring up and use the Constitution AGAINST people, when it suits HIS purpose? Hey, isn’t there someone else that does that already? Sounds very Obamaesque.....
