“His [Cruz] supporters are fine with being governed by someone who will try to impose his religious beliefs on us all, and make decisions that affect us, according to those beliefs.”
That puts you squarely in the far-left camp.
Be specific. Do you think Americans should have to accommodate homosexual couples by issuing marriage licenses to them? By providing flowers, wedding cakes, photography, videography, venues, and catering for their weddings? Do you think those who refuse should be fined? Thrown in jail? Executed?
Do you think public restrooms, those of private business, and those of public school should, under penalty of law, should be required to allow transgendered people to use the ones designated opposite of their biological sex? Do you even believe in biological sex?
How about abortion? Do you think there should be no restriction on abortion? Do you think tax payers who disagree should still be forced to pay for it? Do you think it is none of our business if babies are killed to liquidate their body parts for money?
Do you think it is okay for homosexual couples to adopt children or be foster parents? Do you think it is okay if they engage in sexual relations with the ones they adopt? Do you think it is okay if they torture these children and make sex tapes and snuff films with them?
Are these the “religious” views you think Cruz and conservatives are going to force on everyone?
Christians founded this nation on the basis of freedom of religion. Evangelical Christians, mostly socially conservative ones, make up a significant portion of the population. And we are very underrepresented in government. No one in the white house since Reagan. No one on the Supreme Court for many years. Very few legislators. But people like you think Evangelical Christians are trying to take over the world for Jesus and impose a theocracy. It is pure insanity.
What Evangelical Christians want is to be able to practice our faith freely. We do not want or believe it is even possible to force others to become Christians. We do want free speech and the possibility to make a case for others to join us in our beliefs.
I happen to also be fiscally conservative. But, in spite of that, I really do not care if our economy completely collapses if it means I have to settle for socially liberal, fiscally conservative candidates in office.
You and those who reject these views can continue to do so if you like. But as true as the law of gravity is, the laws of justice will result in Divine punishment of this nation. It is inevitable, irreversible, and unstoppable.
You can rail against us, try to sideline us, fine us, imprison us, and kill us. But God is real. And He is going to repay every single one of these things with severe, fiery destruction shortly.
Sorry I only read the first sentence and then my eyes glazed over and I lost interest.
I’ve missed whatever you wrote, and you clearly invested a lot of time into something meaningful to you, but not me. Nothing about Evangelicals interests me, especially if it means being lectured to or reprimanded.
Keep that in mind for future replies. People only read about 3-4 sentences.....! Politics & religion don’t mix. Keep it short. Edit edit edit!
I think that Trump is "conservative enough". More importantly, I think that he can survive and prevail over Hillary's expected "scorched earth" campaign, and that neither Cruz nor any other GOPE designated-loser would be able to.
Fixing immigration is the senior issue right now, above all other things. If the demographic shift continues any further, then no conservative will ever be elected again. Abortion will become a sacrament. Hospitals will be required to offer abortion services, or be denied access to federal funding. This is the future you have to look forward to if Hillary wins.
