“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they’ve tried everything else.” - Winston Churchill
“A lost toe to preserve foot and limb (or life and liberty, in this case) is much preferable to the alternative”
I agree. I hope Trump sees it that way!
Take it easy on yourself. I’m convinced Trump had no interest in getting Ryan’s bill passed, despite all his public posturing.
Christians make a lot of mistakes. Don’t go wallowing in gloom about it. The eraser for all of them is on the cross of Calvary.
There are going to be disappointments. We just have to expect that. And then get back at it and never give up.
Some people say, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.”
G.K. Chesterton said something to the effect of “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing badly.”
It’s going to get messy, and then more messy. And then we will either win or lose. And then - either way - we go back to fighting. There’s no rest in THIS life.
Uncool to keep taunting in your tag, but yet.
I have to hand it to Chesterton here. Offer anything remotely reasonable to God for the right reason, and He will refine what you are doing. Waiting for perfection before acting is pure poison.
On all points...
Amen.
Right on all counts Jim.
Disappointing to see how many freepers wanted a rearranged Obamacare hung around our necks and Trump’s.
It’s my opinion that it was Ryan’s plan to preserve as much of Obamacre as possible and hang it around Trump’s neck to make him a one term President so they could get back to business as usual, importing cheap labor and selling out America.
One thing I could not understand was why people wanted a once-for-all cure-it bill.
US health care is beyond needing a visit to the doctor’s office to get a prescription at Walgreens and it is all better. It needs to be put into a hospital and cared for on a long term basis, watching its chart as it goes.
I hope Trump gets clear that any measure passed is but a step in an evolution that needs to keep happening.
Cruz would have been a much better, more articulate President. But his “body of Christ” talk left post-Christian, brainwashed America clueless about what to make of him.
Every time I see the President, I think, “Thank God not Rotten Clinton!” This push for socialism lite was a clunker, but we were spared from blame for the imminent health care cataclysm. Trump is super smart, and I think, (hope?) that he has learned from this debacle.
It’s actually way past time for a new speaker of the house.
Ryan is a miserable failure and an arrogant ass, and he’s working for the globalist.
I thought you were gonna say Ryan was a good guy.
Bottom line (i.e. “here is what matters”). Trump is president, and will be for quite some time. hilary isn’t.
That actually makes sense to me.
I could have written this post (including the “don’t ask me how I know” part since we are dealing with that also in our home), so thank you for putting it in a much better words for me.
God bless America and God bless you, JR.
I believe the people need to pick up the Christ torch. Having Cruz waving it around overhead might cause people to think that since Cruz is doing it for them, they needn’t do it.
Trump is doing as good as he can with his copious blessings of America in God’s name. Now, We The People are going to have to pick up the theme.
Great analogy re: US health care.
