Thoughts?
My first impression would be to tell Lucado to get stuffed..
but I’m thinking that isn’t what you’re looking for.
Sorry, Mr. Lucado - if you’re waiting for a decent man to run for public office in this day and age, forget it.
I’ll settle for a nasty man who upholds at least a few decent policies.
Lucado is right about Hillary. She’s an indecent man.
Get thee to the Amish.
Was this written in 1992?
1996?
2008?
2012?
If not, why not?
All the “Decency†talking points are meaningless noise to a voter who’s son is overseas on his third deployment, his grand kids go to a gang infested incompetent Public School, who sees his urban area neighborhood deserving into BLM/drug gang thuggary, has been underemployed since 2008 and is scared to death his employer is going to move his new job to Mexico any day now.
All these high minded pompous lectures fall on deaf ears when voters are looking for deeds, not just more words.
The president will not be dating my daughters...
and he will nopt be knocking on my door to do so...
hes married...
so I’m not looking for a boyfriend for a teenager...
I’m looking for a leader of the free world...someone who will protect those girls from ISIS..
the kid wanting to take my granddaughter to the prom may be decent, but he may not be presidential material...
I’d love to support such a person for president.
But I no longer expect any decency from a nation which has become so indecent, so corrupt and so depraved. If a candidate came along who had the kind of admirable traits and values that I’d genuinely respect, the said candidate would probably be burned at the stake by our demented and degenerate populace.
Comments? I think this is ridiculous tripe.
If you want decency in a President, you’ll need to instill decency in the country first.
As it stands sadly the most decent candidate stands almost no shot of winning.
The Democrats are responsible for this. They poisoned the well by embracing Saul Alinsky and his tactics four decades ago.
Mitt Romney was, by all accounts, a very decent man.
And a LOSER.
As far as I can tell, many Republicans tried decency and were destroyed by the ‘by any means necessary’ Democrats. And still the Republicans refused to fight back. I have not been a Trump supporter, but will vote for him over any Democrat if he’s the other candidate. He is the only one willing to bring a gun to a knife fight......and the Democrats and their lapdogs in the Media know that.
He is exactly right.
Nobody more decent than the hapless President Bush
No more Carters.
No, Mrs. Clinton doesn't pass my decency standard either. Trump should tone it down also but never, ever apologize for telling the truth.
“Politicians” tend not to be ‘decent’ people by my standards & it’s not just the way they behave in public. The big problem we’ve had in years past is that Republicans put on the white gloves, grab their pearls & head for the fainting couch every time a Democrat gives them the least little bit of trouble. Thus, Obama has run rampant for the last 7 years & the Dems have had their way for more than that.
I am not looking for a date for my kids. I am looking for someone big, bold and with the courage to take on the nastiest pieces of work in government & a government that has been usurped by marxists, socialists & the Muslim Brotherhood. A kinder, gentler sort of president will accomplish nothing. The Democrats take no prisoners. There have been plenty of ‘gentlemen’ who have run the country off the rails .... let’s see what a ‘construction worker’ type can do, one that speaks plainly (if a bit rough) & does what needs to be done, even if he bloodies some patrician noses.
That being said, Donald Trump raised what appears to be three very decent, productive, successful kids who have kids of their own (& I suspect the two younger kids will turn out equally as well). They obviously love and respect their father. That says volumes to me about the ‘decency’ of DJT.
The Donald doesn’t Drink, doesn’t roam in bad crowds, and has a Driver so take that Lucado or whoever the heck you are!
BTW thinking you OWN your daughter doesn’t seem to make you very decent to me:-)
Note that most of the respondents to your thread have a 180-degree view from one of our pesky founding fathers:
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. --John Adams
In the Bill Clinton era when this forum was in complete agreement with the concept that character matters, FReepers frequently posted and/or agreed with this quote as well as others that demonstrated the wisdom of the vision of our framers. Now they're bonkers over a serial adulterer/strip club owner who has the social graces of a clod just because he keeps blabbering on about a wall with a big beautiful door. He really can shoot someone on Fifth Avenue, you know. He was being completely honest about that.
FR has come a long way, baby. When it comes to hypocrisy, the Dems have nothing on Trumpanzees*.
*I stole this term from a FReeper, but I don't remember who. Kudos to the person who first came up with it.
