Anti-Catholic bigotry?

When the Catholic Church crawls up from the muck and finally excommunicates the vile trash it counts as its "flock"....such as the Kennedys, the Pelosis and all those who revel in butchering infants at the false altar of Liberalist Marxism, then, MAYBE, just MAYBE, any "anti-Catholic bigotry" can be addressed.

As it stands, any Catholic official or layperson who associates with these Satanic bastards deserves to be dismissed as agents of Hell.

You should be smiling. Drinking the Kool-aide is a high to be savored, the converted say.

I would have some if the Crewz hadn’t swigged it all down over the last few months. So thanks for protecting me from myself.

You folks have a not of nerve tossing out the cult moniker after acting as you have.

I think sin is sin, you don’t have to be committing the same sin to be a hypocrite. I also think in our last heartbeat or, possibly even beyond, we have the chance to transform and accept Jesus as our Savior and receive forgiveness for our sins no matter how horrible they are. You can’t say God would condemn another to hell, only God know where we will begin and where we will end.


Sometimes it’s a safe bet. The 19 terrorists on 911 probably didn’t reconcile with the Lord before crashing the planes that killed thousands of innocent people.

“I think sin is sin, you don’t have to be committing the same sin to be a hypocrite.”

God knows our hearts. He also tells us to turn from sin. You make it sound as if it’s okay to continue a life of sin.

+++

“I also think in our last heartbeat or, possibly even beyond, we have the chance to transform and accept Jesus as our Savior and receive forgiveness for our sins “

” ... possibly even beyond .. “ ?? I really don’t know how you come up with that. Salvation is a gift from God. It is not offered forever. Either we accept it or we don’t.

+++

You can’t say God would condemn another to hell, only God know where we will begin and where we will end.

I believe the Holy Bible to be the word of God. There is only one way to the father .......... John 14:6 -— Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

No. I certainly cannot tell you who all is going to heaven or hell but the Holy Bible tells us that there is only one way.

Tonight will be another night. Bitch of a wakeup or not.

I take the long view of history. Times come and go. Charlatans and snake oil salesmen, like Trump, are inevitable. The weak minded, though they believe in their own superiority, will always follow their little Pied Pipers to ruin. Human beings are genetically predisposed to self destruct with a certain regularity. God sends forth obstacles and Trump is one of them. If the people are "worthy", they can avoid the pitfalls. If not, well....so be it. All cults eventually die off, though some, like islam, are stubborn. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot, Heaven's Gate, Jim Jones, they usually collapse and get swept away.

How long Trump lasts, we will wait and see.

I would like to know how long he says he’s been a Christian.

Since last June or July. Whenever he announced for president.

Only the arrogant try to judge the beliefs of others. It is also a sin. Not very Christian.

“Yet Trump has spent his entire adult life supporting abortion, and even now after his supposed epiphany on abortion supports continued planned parenthood funding.

Planned Parenthood butchers more babies per year than Isis.

Ever heard of cognitive dissonance?”

My friend, Guess who brought out all of the above into the Republican campaign not any of his competitors. I voted for Cruz when he was elected Senator, but in 2016 we need a “:ball-buster” like Trump! The other dude Rubio is a three faced (one is Espanol) lying dog concerning his buddy Chuckie Schummer!

Tonight will be another night. Bitch of a wakeup or not.

Except that it will be a bitch of a wakeup call.  Thus it will not be just another night.  Ted Cruz's future will be revealed to the point that no sane person will be able to deny the obvious, once and for all.

I take the long view of history. Times come and go.

Yes they do.  And Ted's place in history ends tonight, not even a meaningful footnote in U. S. history.  Yep, just like we said it would.

Charlatans and snake oil salesmen, LIKE TED CRUZ will be spoted, avoided, and ignored...

... and unlike Trump who isn't a snake oil salesman or a charlatan, are not inevitable.  Yes.  Good men are inevitable.  Too bad Ted didn't figure that out on his road down oblivion's highway.

The weak minded, though they believe in their own superiority, will always follow their little Pied Pipers to ruin. 

Yes, you guys sure proved that.  "So what were you were doing in 2016?  Well, I was actually an ardent supporter of...  what's his name.  Give me a minute...".

Human beings are genetically predisposed to self destruct with a certain regularity. 

As you toss these out, please keep in mind who is going nowhere, and will not affect U. S. history in  the slightest.  Now back to your program,

God sends forth obstacles and Trump is one of them. 

God sends forth solutions too, and who are you to judge if this is God's plan or not?

If the people are "worthy", they can avoid the pitfalls. 

I guess we were worthy then.  We sure avoided Cruz.

If not, well....so be it. All cults eventually die off, though some, like islam, are stubborn. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot, Heaven's Gate, Jim Jones, they usually collapse and get swept away.

You poor dear.  You're so traumatized by all this.  If your crewz hadn't acted like such ridiculous boorish fools on the forum over the last few months, I'd have a glimmer of mercy for you.Here you are facing the death of the Cruz campaign still mud slinging with the most vile comparisons your mind can concoct.

Meanwhile Hillary has her notebook out copying down every insult you folks could hand her campaign.  And you're not done yet.

These next months should be amazing, watching you folks go hand in hand with her toward November trashing our nominee.

Thank goodness that's not cult-like..

How long Trump lasts, we will wait and see..

Yep.  Despite you folks doing your best to help Hillary, I think he'll do just fine.

Trump has donated to Schumer and will throw you under the bus as soon as he makes the sale.

"Ted Cruz who offered up a great big zero names."

He offered up Lee Liberman, in the same debate. This makes you a liar, too.

Sorry, but that’s not quite correct. When Cruz and Trump were arguing about Roberts, Cruz said he would have nominated Liberman instead of Roberts. They were discussing the past during that exchange, not replacing Scalia.

The hatred, the hatred. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Unhinged to the point of spitting. Is it the Kool-Aide? Is it the adoration and worship of a Liberal dressed up as a "savior"? Is it the smooth words and the playing on the fears, hopes, dreams, longings of a lied to and abused conservative base? Will the TRumpites be watching and hoping tonight, with the Rocky III theme on replay in the background? Like children, clutching their Trump dolls, giddy and fidgeting?

No matter the results, one constant the Trumpites will have is this irrational hatred of Cruz. That is, until the next Trump Boogie Man is presented to their drooling throngs.

Still reading your posts with a smile on my face.

Desperation isn’t a pretty color on you.

The fall back for any scurrilous demagogue is to claim "their man" is being sabotaged by supporters of the "enemy". Truth be told, in this scenario, the GOPe have more hate for Cruz than for Trump. Trump is malleable and can "swing" to accommodate the current situations when they arise. He can be manipulated as he will internally believe he is "dealing" to achieve the best results. Trump can be a tool of the GOPe, whereas Cruz will not.

In that event, it is not Cruz supporters who are tools of Hildebeast or the GOPe or any other faction. It is the Trumpites. Plain and simple.

Laughing in your face. Up close, too.

Desperation drives Trump and his sycophants, his lapdogs, his minions, his tools to destroy Cruz and marginalize Cruz supporters. Destroy the GOPe's hated foe and you have a clear path forward.

Watching Trumpites, and Trump, as they are used and abused by the GOPe puppeteers is fascinating. It reveals the once disregarded claim that many so-called "conservatives" are as stupid and low information as most "liberals".

The after game analyses in years to come will be quite interesting as to how this all came about.

One again I am left smiling.

Each of your posts explain is some way how you deal with defeat.

- I didn’t prevail, common sense (in my estimation) is not something they can deal with, so I won and they are very flawed. -

Your candidate did not appear to others as he appeared to you. Two out of three people disagreed with you.

It still hasn’t dawned on you, that the majority could have seen things you didn’t, and could actually be right.

That’s the problem with stacking nothing burgers to the ceiling. Eventually you are convinced you’ve really got something there.

No, you have nothing stacked to the ceiling.

Once again projecting from the ranks of defeat.

There are two options.

You and your fellow travelers are smarter than everyone else.

You and your fellow travelers are the ones who followed the pied piper.
