It is your accusation. Give the link. How hard can it be?
Agree
“on this thread, the author has the utter nerve to protect himself from expected incoming by hiding behind the Bible. That is not just contemptible, its repulsive.”
“In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.”
Thomas Jefferson — in a letter to Horatio Spofford, 1814
Not that I'm piling on the Donald as a purist in this myself, for I do find myself not in total disagreement with him in this, for pragmatic reasons, but there has been wide coverage of what Thumper1960 quoted in post #332.
Why a link was not provided there, I dunno, but here's some;

“I live in Texas and I promise you it will never be built.”
What other divine powers do you possess?
Agreed. They give away birth control pills and condoms because they work, right?
To be fair there used to be more discussions on policy but no longer. At times it looks like the Ron/Rand Paul/Huckster mentality has set in.
“Franklin Graham and Mike Huckabee and the Dallas southern Baptist preacher have all sullied themselves with Trump”
Sullied?
Who appointed you judge of the people of the earth?
Cruz has “sullied” himself with homosexual donors, open-border globalists.
You picked a poor example since just a couple of days ago he said he made that comment with tongue in cheek...He and his sister are far, far apart on political issues...And we who support Trump and watched him make the comment initially knew he wasn't being serious...
So how about you inform us of the other many issues Trump is off base on...We think we are supporting a winner; a Patriot with some really conservative positions for the direction we need to go in...
Obviously the majority of FReepers think Trump is 'on base'...Where is Trump wrong???
How many times do you have to state something isn't fiscally or socially conservative, Republican, or anti-liberty? People understand what rhetoric is -- at least I hope so.
I stand with you WHOLE HEARTEDLY and second every thing you said.
I did the same thing, going back to old posts because I was so baffled. I’ve taken people’s quotes back then, even as late as 2013 and copy/pasted them now in response to some of their hero worship. Not one person has responded. And that’s ok. It’s just sad.
Also, don’t be too dismayed. There are some Freepers that just signed up last summer and post about 6 to 7 articles A DAY worshiping a progressive candidate and/or attacking the most conservative one. So you’ve got your obvious paid shills.
I knew the new populist/nationalist candidate had a social media/Internet army, I just never imagined they’d infiltrate here.
Oh well. Keep fighting the good fight.
Onward and upward.
Some encouragement: I just read where the conservative candidate is surging in internal Polls according to Howard Kurtz. Post debate reality check? Who knows?
You’re right. Struck many nerves with this as well. Confirms you’re right.
Ditto
He's a dyed in the wool Presbyterian. Why would he ask forgiveness?
Please name one case where cruz sided with his donors over his constituents.
He doesn’t have a record of that.
So you’d rather a guy who admits to buying politicians?
We haven’t all strayed.
I’ll never vote for a candidate just because he’s richer than the others or has a louder mouth.
Bingo
Helping to defeat amnesty.
That helped Texas AND the country.
And he’s ONE senator. What the hell do you expect him to do?
The House defeated amnesty.
Quit casting stones.
Do you read what you post?
You say he was never for a wall, then you say he was for a wall, fences, drones and whatever else would work.
You understand that even Mr. Great Orange Hope had said as much. You realize the can’t logistically be one straight wall across the border, right? I know it’s enchanting to get lost in the goose step rhythm of a man who said “build the wall build the wall build the wall” because you can just knock your brain outta gear, repeat, repeat, etc and your guy believed it to.....until he met with border towns who had to explain to him why some areas would be impossible to have a wall and would need a fence or armed guards, etc.
He concurred. He just forgot to mention it at his rock star worship a thons because it’s hard to make a catchy chant or soundbite out of reality.
