You showed a picture of the libby [sic] of Trump Towers. Ive been there, and thought it was overly gaudy. Well, THAT settles it. Let the illegals overrun the borders, the foreign countries steal our wealth, the leftists to destroy our military and seduce our children, the islamists to do genocide against Christians and the lobbyists run our government -- anything to keep bad taste out of the White House!

How many times has he won cases in the supreme court, defending your constitutional rights?
Are we electing a guy to build anew white house or are we looking for someone who will promote principles and defend us?

Oh, really ?

"EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" Trump's
the PROVEN LIAR.
TRUMP THE SOCIALIST
... When Trump says he will make America great again, he harks back to a time when families were more stable and U.S. culture generally valued cohesion over rebellion.
Yet these cultural values of faith, family and community are intangible.
They are not things despite what Sanders and Trump claim that a government check, a border wall or socialized healthcare can fulfill.
They also require greater self-sacrifice, diligence and discipline to maintain than the simplistic solution of trade protectionism(which hurts working families by jacking up the price of goods)
and xenophobic pronouncements against China, the largest foreign creditor to the United States.
Trump and Sanders are both symptoms of the dark side of democratic capitalism described by conservative heavyweight Irving Kristol in his book, Two Cheers For Capitalism.
Kristol offers two cheers for capitalisms ability to provide material comfort and fulfillment of self-interest through free, mutual exchange of goods and services.
But he withholds that third cheer because capitalism is inherently amoral.
It is simply an economic machine or engine that operates based on the programmatic inputs of societal values.
American culture dictates those inputs and history has shownthat too often the populist demagogue or the carnival barker peddling quick fixes and coarseness is what sells.
What is popular is not always right and vice versa.
Thus American culture has unraveled in many ways since the 1960s era of sex, drugs and rocknroll,
and both Trump and Sanders offer Big Government responses to problems that are better solved through reviving of older notions self-discipline, family, thrift and hard work.
Those are private solutions, not government solutions, and they offer a sustainable future.

That was
a good link.
What are evangelicals thinking whenthey rush to support a politicianwhose secular materialism and morally indifferent relativism
does not sustain democracy
but undermines it ?
What are they thinking whenthey surrender the premises of Judaism and Christianity,premises that uplift the republic, carry it over its inherent weaknesses, and sustain it ?
The answer to that isthat too many evangelicals are not thinking.
They have forgotten what Christianity means to the security of the Republic.
As de Tocqueville wrote: “I have already said enough to put Anglo-American civilization in its true light.
It is the product of two perfectly distinct elements which elsewhere have often been at war with one another
but which in America it was somehow possible to incorporate into each other, forming a marvellous combination.
I mean the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom... Far from harming each other,
these two apparently opposed tendencies work in harmony
and seem to lend mutual support.”
In de Tocqueville’s words lie a remedy for evangelicals’ capitulation to the premises of a secular materialism that ultimately promotes tyranny rather than republicanism.
If evangelicals, along with other Christians, return to promoting both the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom,
there may yet be hope for our country.
If they once again seek to articulate a Christian world view that encompasses all aspects of society, including world of politics,
they may yet have something to say.
They may even escape being ignored in the political process.
That read was well worth my time.
