Not going to read the entire thread. Just sick of people calling themselves Christian, and then behaving in the opposite way Christians are commanded to behave.

Oh I see it all over. Most of it started in the past two months when some Cruz people decided to go to war with the Trump supporters.

They started shortly after their attempt to attach Cruz to ever positive Trump thread, Trump/Cruz. I have never accepted that Cruz, Rubio or Jindel were qualified so my support has been less than enthusiastic but would have voted for any of them, after all I lied to myself and voted for Romney even though I knew it would matter not one whit.

The Fumble Mouthed Blowhard that can't speak in complete sentences came on the scene with a bombastic proposal to build a wall and people responded. I waited for any of the other candidates to figure out what this fool was doing that resonated with the people but none did because I guess their money bundlers would not allow it.

I am now a full blown supporter of that blowhard because I believe he means much of what he says and has the guts to act on what he advocates.

I think our perception of which group is the most vitriolic depends on which guy we support.


Ted Cruz for President! Woo! Woo!

Cruz saying that has no relation whatsoever with dominion ism. Putting on the full armor of God is Biblical. It doesn’t mean control of other people.

That thread is EXACTLY that. You and all Trump supporters should see what is giving them a bad name.

The Constitution is not a dictionary.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It does not define Justice, Tranquility, Welfare, Liberty or Posterity. Neither does it define just what a Natural Born Citizen (NBC) is. However at the time the Constitution was written a Natural Born Citizen was defined in Vattel’s "The Law of Nations".

The Marxists favorite trick (after outright lies) is to redefine terms so that the new definition favors their agenda. It saddens me to see Ted adopting their tactic to further his personal ambitions. He knows he is not a NBC.

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

*******

Agree. Thanks, DO, for stating this.


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

******

I’m Christian AND conservative....and, I support Trump. So, there’s that.

Changing the narrative, when the subject becomes touchy, isn’t fair to those who you’ve generalized.

What is hilarious is that there are many here who left reality a long time ago in their cult-like worship of Trump. Trump is 100% for Trump, but they’ve fallen for his line of B.S. hook, line, and sinker. He’s Jesse Ventura with a bigger bank account.

“How do you know Trump says what he believes. “

How do I know Cruz is? How do I know you are? Their are no guarantees in life. You just have to go with your gut after the presentation.

“Didn’t he admit in one of his ghost written books...”

Ghost writers are used by lots of people. It does not mean that someone else wrote the book with no input from the author. His name is on the front of the book along with Trump’s.

“... that complete honesty in making a “deal” wasn’t desirable?”

Yeah? Because only a novice makes deals with all of his cards on the table. If you are trying to imply that 100% of the stuff he says on the stump are really just lies, then that is a tall order to claim and not be seen as just being obtuse. I can easily say if Cruz does not “restore the constitution” after 1-2 terms, was he lying when he says it today? An example of crappy dealmaking is when Cruz said he wont make Bill Clinton an issue in the election.

“Your last paragraph tells me you don’t care if Trump is Conservative or not.”

I care if he advocates my positions. Does it well, and does not back off when the leftist media attacks. Libertarian, right-leaning, populist, nationalists? All of those things make up the umbrella conservative movement. All of that I see with him, and most Americans fall into one of those. That’s why he is drawing so many people. I’m comfortable with where he is.

That’s a clear potent set of remarks against Cruz, thanks for posting it.

We know because Cruz has a lifetime record acting on his words and beliefs.

Don’s are recently converted. Thats just the facts. Doesn’t make him bad. But Ted has lived this stuff all his life.

Not going to read the entire thread. It would take more time than I have. I’m grabbing a few minutes here, but it’s tight. All I can tell you is what I said: the worst abuse I have received was from Cruz supporters who claim to be Christian. It’s sickening.

I asked a question as a Cruz and Trump supporter. I simply want to know if the article is BS. Instead of a yes or no, you throw out questions about Trump. Sorry I asked.

As a daily reader of Sundance, I take special interest in your essay, and I thank you for
taking the time, effort, and research necessary to write it. It has opened up many doors
for further study.

What is wrong with Cruz supporters on this thread? I am trying to learn about Cruz from what I mistakenly thought were the most knowledgeable about him. Instead of an answer I get Trump comments.

I’m only about halfway through the article, but it’s truly excellent so far. Thanks for the ping!

I don’t dent that Cruz has some moonbat followers of his own. That said, if we all stuck to actually supporting conservative values and positions on a conservative site, Which to my understanding is why FR exists, both groups of moonbats wouldn’t be an issue.

Yes, it’s a shame what some of the Crewz do in the name of Christianity.

It's also a shame that these people want the Body of Christ to do things for Cruz's candidacy, not for serving Jesus.
