So what was okay for WJC is a no-no for Trump’s aids? I’m just trying to keep up...

Right out of Saul Alinski’s 12 rules the libs always follow:

RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

The libs have been using this type of action since the 1950’s. It’s not new. And two of the biggest followers of ol’ Saul are Barrack Obama and Hilly Clinton. Hil even did one of her minor thesis in college on him and contacted him for information personally. What a surprise.

Very good rant. I suspect Trump will hang tough on Kelly. He’d better.

Democrats with any level of power see rules and laws as nothing more than weapons to be used against people they don’t like or agree with.

They know that rules and laws are rarely applied equally and almost never against them.

The Kelly scandal.

I’ve been in an argy-bargy with some angry Democrat feministas over this on Facebook.

Satan is testing both Kelly and Trump. That’s how I see it.

I don’t know if the accusations are so much even wrong as wrongheaded. I wonder whether something really has been going on to the low-down between Kelly and his S.O.’s. And as sordid as it would have been, at least it was private. Till one of those partners changed her mind.

BUT. This is the world that the free-love Democrats bequeathed us. The feministas cannot have it both ways. They just can’t. Either it’s legal or it isn’t. And this kind of mindset isn’t new. I remember Ann Landers in the sixties saying that consensual S&M was just fine. But to God it isn’t just fine. It invites Satan and he doesn’t belong in the party.

Kelly needs to get clean spiritually and morally. If he’s been in love with “crack that whip,” maybe that was good in one way in that it focused Trump. But too much of it isn’t good, and Satan isn’t happy until it’s way, way too much.

Again this is all hypothesis here, and I’d be tickled pink to find out that Kelly wasn’t even in this kind of position. But we see it in the world, and if God really is to bless America like Donald Trump asked Him to, some cleansing and healing will need to take place.

Kelly and Trump need to hew to God before all else.

Kelly hasn’t committed the unforgivable sin here.

However, I perceive there’s a lot of mean-a-holism bouncing around in both the Democrat and Republican parties — in fact in America in general.

Sometimes it’s not the right time or place to answer your neighbor with a barbed wire fence and machine guns.

I think it’s right to give Kelly his full opportunity in court. However, if it turns out that his defense is not that his wives didn’t get banged up but that it was consensual, we need to learn a deep lesson from this. We’ve been in love with something Satan smuggled deep down among us. We need to let Jesus be an enemy of that something, to come between us and the sin. This is going to look like something new, we’ve been so used to the old.

If you ask me all this fuss is just more reason why, “You get married and STAY married.” A culture of serial monogamy is not much better than serial anonymous hook ups, maybe even worse.

Well, we need to set our spiritual and moral clocks differently. We can't lean on the Democrats... that's a stupid thing to do.

When Satan has been punking us, we need to start leaning on Christ. Donald Trump asked God to bless America. Could we dare to believe that this is one way He is. By bringing this kind of thing to light until the answer is obvious.

Dear Lord please help us not stoop anymore to Satan's games.

Let's Make America Great Again

Your hypothesis aids only Satan and his cohorts. You do not know General Kelly, nor do you know his ex wives. Nevertheless, you choose to spread the “possibility” theory that he “may” be guilty and therefore cause doubt in weak people’s minds. Best demand the accused have a chance to be heard. Until then, best be silent instead of try to think for others.

The Kelly “Scandal” is fabricated. There is no “Scandal” until proof is shown.

All sins compromise in one fashion or another.

And yet we need something even more important than “principles.” We need a living Lord. Without that, we don’t have any power by which to get the “principles” to stick in our lives and societies.

The way America was founded is much more dependent upon Christian principles than the more secular states of the world. We have vigorous talk about rights that don’t make much sense if they are selfish things, but make all the sense in creation if they are means by which we may serve God.

How can it aid “only” Satan if in fact it is the best match to the visible phenomena?

You need to watch that you aren’t harboring some of that kind of sin too.

And I say doubt every man, but believe on God.

Did not Kelly get denied a security clearance? Why would that happen? Unless something blackmailable was going on. Homosexuality used to be that way.

Sometimes we DO need to be Sherlock Holmes. Just because the tentative conclusion isn’t in our political favor doesn’t mean we don’t need to look into it. Cleansing begins at home.
