Donald Trump's foul mouth is just a cover for his ignorance
The Washington Post ^ | February 8, 2016 | Michael Gerson

Posted on 02/08/2016 7:51:33 PM PST by EveningStar

...In real life, expletives are often used as a form of aggression or cruelty. A co-worker who tells you to Trump yourself is usually being unpleasant. A co-worker who does this every day is often creating a hostile or demeaning work environment. Language suitable for decent company is a form of politeness, which is a species of respect, which is an expression of morality. And if I am the last holdout on this issue, so be it. I don't really give a damn.

Win or lose, Trump has brought the language and sensibilities of cable TV to presidential politics...

That doesn’t prove HE’S GAY. Not at all...

A fella can lay a thousand bricks; but he still won't be a mason.

But just let him **** one little ****, and THEN see what happens!

It’s kind of interesting to note that on a site where profanity is not allowed, there is so much support for one of the most profane candidates. I am guessing that a lot of what Trump says would not be allowed to be posted here.

Many Cruz supporters are religious bigots that try to use God to shame others into submission.

Another attack on Cruz from the left. Why would you do that?

I will suggest that many Trump supporters who have always supported solid Christian values here now find themselves in an awkward position.

The first disconnect I became aware of was when he boldly stated that he had never felt the need to ask God For forgiveness. Then, his adulteries are glossed over (everybody's doin' it). He increases his wealth catering to the lusts of the flesh and the pride of life (casinos and strip clubs).

Sensing some weakness on that flank, he hauls out Mama's Bible and waves it around. That would be mildly amusing were it not so pathetic.

Christians who choose their associations within a framework of Christian values, look at all of this and have to feel at least a little discomfort. The bolder will point them out.

We are accustomed to being called bigots. The lefties have been doing it for years. The surprise seeing that card played on THIS board.

HMMMmmm...

Is this anything like MINDREADING?


Does Donald 'seem' religious?

If not; let's PRAY for him!

The Washington Post is a Leftist rag.

They are not objective at all.

Many Cruz supporters are religious bigots that try to use God to shame others into submission. A tactic that has been used before by nuts and tyrants.

So what are you trying to use to shame others (Cruz supporters) into submission? Satan? (rhetorical question)

I feel that Trump thinking everyone else is stupid is a glaring red flag.

Our current President thinks just like Trump in that respect.

And that is not the only similarity I am observing from Trump. Narcissistic behavior, sublime arrogance, bigger than life ego, etc.....and a really nasty "Eff You" attitude. Just showing off those NY (and Chicago-style) "values", no doubt.

“Not that I necessarily disagree, but who are you quoting?”

I think that’s a quote from the article.

A leader without a healthy ego is just another Neville Chamberlain and has no business running for President.

I refuse to watch your anti-Trump crap. You are naive, so embrace it. Now, go along little one and stick your head back in the sand.

You answer: “I refuse to watch your anti-Trump crap. You are naive, so embrace it. Now, go along little one and stick your head back in the sand.” in reply to my post # 161

So you refuse to even watch the Trumpster himself tell us how he operates....and I am the one with the head in the sand. LOL

Yep, his sycophants (sick-a-phants?) are as ignorant as he is. Watch out for the end of that wharf.

Anyone honest reading this - check out the video on my post #161....

It has nothing to do with your so-called “honesty.” It’s all about the 24/7 bashing and trashing of Trump on this forum. We are sick of it - so stick that where the sun doesn’t shine.
