Daily Caller ^ | Alex Pappas

Posted on 08/21/2015 10:54:41 AM PDT by Blue Turtle

“There’s an assault on anything having to do with Christianity,” Trump said on Yellowhammer Radio with Cliff Sims on Friday. “They don’t want to use the word Christmas anymore at department stores.”

Trump’s lack of political correctness is impressive. What’s next? Saying there’s a difference between men and women????

Boy...That gave me a smile.> We sang Christmas Carols in our neighborhood in the ‘50s. Time to restart an old tradition. If the atheists don’t like it....sue me. You can’t get money from a stone.

Donald Trump: ‘I Go Out Of My Way To Use The Word Christmas’

Which must be why he's bringing it up in August.

“Trump should avoid trying to pretend to be Christian until he starts asking God for forgiveness”

Agreed. Trump should not be allowed to use the word “Christmas” until he meets your criteria for being a Christian.

I guess I left off my sarc tag. No matter;it’s not that important.

My last comment was actually serious. From what I have seen, the the anti-Trump s n i p e r s do harden and increase Trump’s support. Take my case. For a while I was on the fence between Cruz and Trump. Yet again and again and again I was attacked for being a Trump-bot. It didn’t decide the issue for me—but it certainly reduced my esteem for Cruz supporters. (And never once did it persuade me those supporters had a good case to make. The just looked like a pack of unthinking Chihuahuas, running around and uselessly threatening people’s ankles.)

He was doing an interview and it was the topic being discussed.

Yeesh, you are so obvious.

FTA:

Speaking to an Alabama radio host Friday, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump discussed his religious views and vowed to fight the so-called war on Christmas.

We like Trump because he will say things like this and not act like a sniveling coward when the media starts attacking him for saying things like this.

The people out there like someone who is outspoken but the one thing the people hate is a sniveling coward and Trump doesn’t back down to the media.

Trump may not be the best “Guy” for POTUS but he may be the best “Glue” that can assemble a cabinet and leadership staff if elected POTUS.

Trump picking sessions as an ad hock adviser is a good sign.

Who are you, Ebenezer Scrooge?

Using the word Christmas has nothing to do with being a Christian. Just like you don't have to be Jewish to use the word Hanukkah.

I'm just glad that we have a presidential candidate who is not going to go around calling Christmas trees a "holiday tree" and who is going to say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Seasons Greetings."

Do you go in any retail stores?

The ones locally are busy setting up their “Fall” seasonal merchandise as I type!

Remember Hallothanksmas is just around the corner!!!!!!

Hallothanksmas must be the new holiday because I see holiday-themed items for all three days being put on display at the same time .

"Donald Trump: ‘I Go Out Of My Way To Use The Word Christmas’"

Dear Mr. Trump:

We ain't seen nothing yet. The godless liberals on the Supreme Court have now set the stage for the ultimate war on Christianity. And this is a war we must win or our society and our free nation is doomed.

With the recent SCOTUS ruling on homosexual marriage, which places homo "rights" above our first amendment guaranteed rights to free speech and freedom of religion, lawsuits will be flying. Christian photographers and bakers are just the start. Next to be sued are any companies that do not cater to homos, transvestites and perverts of every stripe. Then pastors and churches who preach God's Word against homosexuality and sin and the wages of sin. Then individual Christians who dare speak out.

And then the IRS begins cracking the government whip against 501c churches and Christian organizations. They'll be facing the choice of bowing to homosexual fascism or being shut down.

Anyone who does not bow down to and bend over for the government enforced homosexual agenda will be targeted. And our government from the top down, especially the tyrants in black robes--who, ironically, are supposed to defend our constitutional rights--will see to it that homo justice is doled out.

We will not comply!! We will not bow to homo fascism!!

Do not give up on marriage and family.

Do not give up on religious Liberty!!

Do not give up on God, country, constitution!!

We have not yet begun to fight!!

SHHHHHH! The TDS crowd is doing us a great service! I’m beginning to wonder if Trump hired some of them.
