Reacting to the headline: Yup.
This is an excellent post!
Thanks for posting.
Save your hero worship for Jesus.
NO man is worthy of it.
Excellent commentary, BellaMac!
You may not accept it, but for millions who need reassurance, Trump has been that hero.
He showed that Covid isn’t always so serious. The left is angry that he’s recovering.
Nobody’s calling Trump God. Accusing conservatives of doing that is what liberals have been doing for five years running.
Since when has our fear of dying become greater than our zest for living?
“Nobody’s calling Trump God. “
Just how did you derive that straw man from what I posted?
Got this wrong sorry
they put us on trial – the defense goes first – the accused second.
I meant the accused goes first - the prosecutor second.
My apologies.
Bttt
Right On, Man! Amen!

Actually I’m inTexas now for a few days LoL but usually I’m in California and need stuff like this to say sane.
Any man willing to lead his people is worthy of being called a hero.The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors. And as we cannot always be satisfied merely with being admired, unless we can at the same time persuade ourselves that we are in some degree really worthy of admiration; so we cannot always be satisfied merely with being believed, unless we are at the same time conscious that we are really worthy of belief. As the desire of praise and that of praise-worthiness, though very much a-kin, are yet distinct and separate desires; so the desire of being believed and that of being worthy of belief, though very much a-kin too, are equally distinct and separate desires.The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
Sounds like everyone " is worthy of being called a hero.”;-)
I think ... having been suffocated by the extreme and unprecedented levels of vitriol from the other side...the pent up appreciation for the President is exploding. As people have been forced to be in hiding for so long...
I like this!
Let us know when you’re leading the country and the free world and being persecuted as Trump has.
Your comparison to Jesus and your implication that the President was the object of worship rightfully due Jesus.
What “strawman” was it that you think I was attempting to knock down?
