Re: Christian Taliban. Please inform me of beheadings, mass executions, mutilations, or torturing performed by Christians as Christians in the last century or two. There have been crimes committed by people from a Christian background on behalf of governments or criminal enterprises, but their crimes were not done for religious reasons. The same cannot be said for the Taliban, Isis, Al Qaida, etc.

Exactly. People who say you shouldn't vote for the lesser of two evils should keep this in mind.

I think each year more and more good people wake up to this notion. And praise God for their company, because it means fewer slings and arrows directed our way. But it is, and has been, a slow uphill battle for them to see the light.

True and Reagan knocked up Nancy PRIOR to their being married. :-)

I'm sure we could find more similarities...such as neither Reagan nor Trump are lawyers, neither used/use WEASEL words, and the both spoke DIRECTLY to WE THE PEOPLE, getting around the MSM.

“This is the perfect example of why Cruz will remain a fractional candidate of the religious right.”

Amazing. On the one hand, there are those implying that Cruz is a “fraud” and not really a Christian — as the Huckster and Santorum supporters are alleging. I even saw a thread here yesterday questioning his Christian faith because they haven’t been able to find his personal testimony.

Now today, I hear he’s a “fractional” candidate with no crossover appeal because he’s too closely tied with religious voters (never mind the fact that he’s a heavy favorite with Tea Party (fiscal) conservatives and has substantial support with Libertarians as well).

Now I’m totally confused. Which is it? Am I supposed to abandon Cruz because he’s a one-dimensional candidate that “can’t possibly” win a general election (as if anyone can ever really validly make such a proclamation) or because he’s not a genuine Christian?

Attacking Trump for being divorced, when something like 20 % of the adult population is divorced, seems to be a very bad play for the Democrats.

But you think Reagan was “creepy”? After all, he was actually responsible for “killing babies” by his deed, not just supporting it with words.

Personally I accept that people can change their minds on the subject. I did. So did Reagan and Trump.

But you don't know that many of the FFS ran for president or other ELECTED position. LOL

Do you ONLY read the bits, in books about the FFs, that are about RELIGION?

Great words by Cruz to win Iowa, and it will likely work. It will be tougher for him to win the nomination though, and I agree with you - how on Earth does he get Godless Millenials to support him?

Never said that extreme but in the context of American politics, Cruz is becoming our version of Christian Taliban with his religious statements. In America, as you are well aware, our religious Taliban are simply holier than thou fanatics, often marked with intolerance. Yes, you are correct, no one steps over the line into overt violence, even if some seem or do suggest it.

You must be celebrating a little early. You make even less sense than usual.
