oh, an another thing...I LOVE it when posters like you think you have a gotcha, and it’s just a cigar exploding in your face. Not only where the Publius authors known, but we were talking about a non free government.

That was BEFORE the First Amendment protections......so not only were you wrong, if you had been right, you would have been rendered moot.

it’s hard to make such a bad post.

Are you appalled by the Southern Baptist Faith and Message (2000):

“That Post was 4 diaper loads at one diaper load of really stinky stuff.”

A succinct and accurate analysis. The only line worth paying attention to is “Cruz attends Houston’s First Baptist Church”.

According to their website: “Houston’s First Baptist Church’s beliefs are the same as those contained in the Baptist Faith and Message, the confession of faith of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC).”

So if Southern Baptists are REALLY REALLY scary, then I guess Ted Cruz is scary too!

This post of yours qualifies as an excellent example of a “Railing” or “Reviling Accusation”. The Word of YHWH says it is something that even the messengers of YHWH (angels) don’t do. So believers are not to bring them against anyone. A simple “The Lord rebuke you!” will do.

Please reread 2nd Peter, particularly Chapter 2. Peter talks about false teachers and what YHWH will do to them. Also reread Jude because he also address this problem and what believers are supposed to do to maintain their life with Elohim.

Also it probably would be a good idea to reread the entire Book of Daniel to see how YHWH uses very imperfect people to achieve the fulfillment of His Word.

We are very close to the end of the End of the Age. The great sign in the heavens described in Revelation 12:1-2 will actually, literally occur sometime near September 23, 2017. So the Dominionists will know pretty soon that they were wrong to think they could do what only Elohim can do, and will suffer the consequences of adding to the Word of YHWH. Best to “look up, for your redemption draws neigh!”, and not be so attached to this world and the machinations of Satan who knows his time is very short.

Laughable. I suppose Christians don’t support Christ as well?

Well I’m sure you know as well as I that the Constitution does not lay out a definition of natural born citizen. It only makes the statement that the President must be a natural born citizen while all other offices only require a citizen. The 14th Amendment states all born or naturalized in the United States are citizens. The Constitution also requires Congress defend and punish offenses against the Law of Nations.

The Law of Nations states

“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.

Then there are Supreme Court cases ruling on natural born citizens, one of which is Minor v. Happersett in 1875. It states The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners.

I do not see where Ted Cruz fits here at all.

Well I appreciate all the support, but actually, having been called brilliant and very funny multiple times by Rush and having my columns routinely posted by Mark Levin and Herman Cain and so on......I'm not counting on this being the arrival moment.

Would you care to see some of it?

No, I like Cruz, and, it’s well documented. I’ve come across few of his loyal supporters that I like, however. I prefer Trump for numerous reasons.

He provided the proof himself when he lied to his colleagues about his support of the Gang of 8 Bill and then admitted that he was lying.

Hadn't heard about the Dominionist movement before

Used to be some TV evangelical promising if you sent him a thousand dollars you would get it returned 10 fold. Anyone that gets sucked into the Benny Hinn type ministry needs help, not condemnation. There are plenty of others like Hinn or worse I just can't name them all. The Church like politics has been invaded by commie type and crooks.

He has very clearly stated that he wants to open up insurance across state lines so that there is competition in the market for people to get insurance coverage. He has also stated that we must take care of those who do not/cannot get insurance. Life vets being given access to civilian doctors and hospitals. Like Medicaid and medicare.

“If someone posted that Hillary is a true Conservative would you expect anyone to object? Just because some politician claims to be of a certain philosophical persuasion doesn’t mean they are. Jesus said you should judge them by their fruits. Trump’s fruits are a mixed bag at best.”

That’s nice.

With Trump, whom I blew off when he announced last summer, I took the position of “trust but verify” when he started to take off last August. If he is saying what he believes, then ok. Every step of the way, he kept getting better, was pushing issues that never would have seen the light of day otherwise, was gaining lots of people that use to not care about politics, and was putting a backbone in people again to stand up against PC culture.

“This is a Conservative forum. It’s purpose is to promote Conservative values and government.”

Yeah? And if Trump moves us back from the brink of national collapse with the platform he’s pushing (which is not a leftest one by any means), that has done far more to promote that. Frankly he’s been more conservative than a hell of a lot of ones that say that they are “true conservatives” every 5 minutes.

I’m not sure what you’re smoking Joe, but you got a funny way of trashing others for not being Christian, for a true Christian. True Christians don’t conduct themselves as you are here.

Who told you that most Trump supporters were not Christian or Conservative?

Trump’s platform is Conservative and something Christians could easily support.

As for the Crewz here, I have seen them compare Trump to Hitler, and his supporters to the supporters of Hitler.

I’ve had one Crewz supporter describe Trump as the male on male rapist in the movie Deliverance, and his supporters as the ones he was violating.

I’ve had another Crewz fanboy suggest the Trump supporters should go back over to their bathhouse.

Now you’re here claiming we’re not Christans or Conservatives?

I’m quite clear on why you would make that claim, because I’ve not seen the Trump folks conduct themselves as the Crewz do here.

If they are your ideal Christians, perhaps you should reconsider who is and who isn’t a Christian.

HarleyLady27 does not deserve to be treated the way you are treating her.

A good Christan Conservative would know that.

At least Sundance doesn’t lie about his predictions, lie about others, and act like a jerk when he’s called on it. Nor does he run around trashing blogs he knows nothing about.

Iow, he has integrity. A trait sadly lacking in too many of his critics.

Can a Christian person vote for a Jew, a Hindu, an atheist if their platform is one you agree with, when the other guy running is a Christian?

Please provide the relevant sections of the U.S. Constitution that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.

Oh yeah, my brother can whip your brother. You lawyer types exist solely for the purpose of confusing plain English. Always injecting doubt into commonly understood language makes money for you and tyrants for the rest of us.

You really don’t know what conservatism is? Then you should read up because it’s pretty straightforward. And it hasn’t changed. Which is sort of it’s whole concept.

Christian is pretty easy. One who actually follows Christ. Nor one that wears it on their sleeve.

Last week there was one guy trying to sell the idea on FR that conservatism did not exist in order to justify their Trump support so there’s that.
