You know about the class action lawsuit ? And Debbie not speaking at convention. It has not begun yet and it is already beginning to disintegrate
WOW! Good.
Thank you for posting... I want to go to see Hillary’s America. I watched Clinton Cash this evening.
We sincerely need Trump to be elected President. There is a lot of work to do to beat the corrupt Clinton Crime Machine.
I think I’ll post these today...
Good idea Nik, we’re needing a fresh Trump Train thread
Time to put record breaking thread to bed!!!!
Join us over at the site of tomorrow’s Trump Rallys!!!!

You are welcome.
Yes it was!
It would be sad to see Sale go. I think we should keep him.
What the f is up with Sale shredding his throwback uniform? So weird.
“You spoke out of FEAR and a clouded mind.”
No, I didn’t. As I said, having Peter Thiel speak at the convention made me think of not voting in November.
He spoke of “fake culture wars,” even while Christians are ever more often coming under pressure to deny our beliefs, like having Christian colleges that don’t forfeit their Christian worldviews be penalized in every way possible. Medical professionals are under increasing pressure to perform abortions and sex-change surgeries against their consciences.
“Harvard prof urges liberals to treat evangelical Christians like Nazis”
u ever listen to the Brewers on the radio or the Cardinals?
I often have 3 or 4 games on the radio at same time ... even get the Indians broadcast at night if I try
I’m aware of Saul Alinsky and that quote in which he expressed admiration for Satan, as well as Clinton’s relationship to him.
As I said, having Peter Thiel speak at the convention, with him saying things like “fake culture wars,” made me think of staying home in November.
Does that mean that I’ve stopped campaigning for Donald Trump and against Hillary Clinton, as I have been doing? No, I haven’t stopped. But I will also not ignore the GOP taking any steps against Christianity.
Where is the GOP in coming to the defense of North Carolina, and to say things like that men and women can’t change their sex and that sex isn’t just something “assigned at birth.” Men and women are physiologically different, down to the last cell. Bruce Jenner is still a man, and would be even if he had the irreversible surgery to alter his sex organs that he hasn’t chosen to have. Taking hormones doesn’t change someone’s physiology, either.
All over the West, Christians are being targeted for our faith, to try to make us abandon it. And the GOP has yet to get back to truly representing us and our religious freedoms.
I wasn’t unaware of any of that.
But how exactly wasn’t the new government’s hand forced quite a bit by all the different faith groups that existed in America at the time?
Yes, the European nations mostly had established state churches, but the U.S. was made up of immigrants from many of those nations. How, then, could the new government even think to choose one Christian denomination, say, over all the others?
So the First Amendment Establishment clause didn’t just come out of thin air, but most likely just expressed the strong will of the people, and those who wrote the Constitution no doubt were well-aware of public opinion.
Over the centuries, it seems like, in a elitist fashion, we’ve reduced the first Americans to just a few people like Jefferson, Washington, Madison, etc., and giving them all the credit for founding the nation.
And on what to do now, the question most often asked seems to be, “What did Jefferson personally believe?,” or “What did the Deist Founding Fathers personally believe?” Then there are comments like, “America was never a Christian nation. The Founders were deist.”
The Constitution wasn’t written in a vacuum, and it wasn’t just ideas imposed on the public, either.
Thiel isn't our nominee; Trump is!
Just go back to the religion section and argue with those there; as for me, I don't give a rat's arse what you think ( SIC)o the matter.
You are speaking from abject, mordant stupidity. If our Founders had all agreed on something, it would have been done; not to mention the fact that early on, most of those living here, from Europe, were PROTESTANTS and mainly from what is today the UK, Holland, and Germany.
Our founders WERE a small group of the ELITE. Even uncouth Andy Jackson was a general.
Only a few CRAZIES claim that most FFs were "DIEISTS". Go find them and argue with them.
THE ABOVE DOES NOT INCLUDE POLITICS, WHICH THE BLACK CHURCHES ALWAYS GET AWAY WITH DOING !
You're still harping on what Thiel said. HE ISN'T RUNNING FOR THE PRESIDENCY; TRUMP IS !
Please, please, PLEASE go away and allow those who KNOW and understand politics post to political threads; sans your incessant, insane, religious harangues.
