2016 when finally we punched back twice as hard.
Yeah,yeah, that’s it....it’s the SCOTUS fault....
poor Hilda
Hillary Clinton and RINOs cost Democrats the presidency.
More rationalizing. “We have the right policies but you rubes are too dumb to understand.”
The author needs a jar of vasoline for his butthurt.
>>> Trump did significantly better than the overtly religious Mitt Romney and the overtly evangelical George W. Bush. <<<
It is called discernment. Not only of the Republican candidate, but of the Democratic candidate. In the case of Romney, the “overtly” part of the description reminds me of the parable of givers who make a big fanfare with their offering...they already have their reward.
Like Trump, Bush too had his personality flaws that Christians recognize and forgive. Throw Hillary into the mix, and one can see where some of Trump’s support comes from. I personally find God’s intervention in this election cycle to be darn near undeniable. That He can use a flawed man like Trump to His ends, is a common theme in Scripture. I had no problem reconciling the seeming contradictions and voting for this man. I stood out at the polling place on election day, sign in hand, which is something I did neither for Bush nor Romney.
I’m going to get flamed for this but that’s OK.
I think Trump is a Christianized pagan who is not personally redeemed but apparently under the influence of his wife has moved towards the Lord as he has gotten older. Romney is a heretic. He is not merely a Mormon but a Temple Mormon.
In such a case I’ll vote for the pagan every time
Well, Mr. Bernstein, you provided a litany of examples of exactly this. It isn't just how Christians "feel", it's what they've seen with their own eyes.
As WaPo articles go, not bad.
The conclusion that the democrat persecution of anyone with a contrary opinion to same sex marriage cost them the election and the supreme court....probably true.
God moved and Christians of all stripes saw the threat and got out and voted.
David Bernstein of the Washington Post, lecturing Christians on how they should have voted. No.
When discussing the same sex marriage that the bakery refused to bake a cake for on religious grounds, I have found so many people who say they are business people and should be forced to bake that cake.
Then I bring up the case of the supermarket refusing to make a cake for the whacky parents who had named their kid Adolf Hitler (Happy Birthday Adolf Hitler cake). Everyone thinks the Supermarket had a right to deny that cake. In fact, the kid was taken from his parents by the State of New Jersey.
Most honest people give a pause to think about the Christian bakery after you bring up the second case....
“... religious traditionalists felt that their religious liberty was under assault from liberals, and they therefore had to hold their noses and vote for Trump.” No we recognized, not felt, that our religious liberty is under assault and would continue to be under Democrats.
Oh and no reasonable person would deny that Democrats booed God at their 2012 convention.
This election was not CLOSE. Media keeps repeating that. Trump’s 306 electoral votes would amount to landslide for the Democrats. Just think how they would be crowing.
No doubt that played a role but it overlooks major other factors related to religion that the court had nothing to di with, especially the war by Islam in us. This was directly related to Trump’s promises to curtail immigration.
Extremely over thought article designed to appeal to mental masturbaters. The ugliness of their champion stared them right in their face and they couldn’t see it. I thinks it’s because they are as ugly as she was.
PING!
Brings to mind the sentiment John Ross expressed in Unintended Consequences:
“Stripping motivated people of their dignity and rubbing
their noses in it is a very bad idea.”
Not bad for a thrice-married adulterer of no discernible faith.
This might surprise a liberal but those who read and understand the Bible know for sure that God is not averse to choosing the weakest among us to be our leaders.
