It’s God’s job to forgive, not mine......

Townhall is on a tear ripping into President Trump’s speech at the breakfast.

How never-Trumpist.

Did Cal quote scripture to our Muzzy president?

What a lame job of writing!

There is execellent reasoning for a National Prayer Breakfast. Government by the Godless is obscene, and history proves it.

It stopped being a prayer breakfast, however, a long time ago.

What is cal Thomas even babbling about.

Put him on the list of those non liberals who will refuse to believe the extent to which the deep state led by H have been operating against this country.

It’s starting to come out.

Sorry Cal Thomas, No Sale!

Nancy Pelosi weaponized her authority.

Perhaps it is time to suspend this annual event . . .

Cal, whom I used to respect--

This is where you lost me. Not even the anti-Trump snark did it, quite. But to say it's time to stop praying? As in "pray without ceasing"? Stop that? I thought you were a Christian.

To say it's time "to suspend this annual event . . ." means that it's not a supernatural act to you. It's a window-dressing political event. Sorry it didn't live up to your standards, and probably not mine, either. But praying means asking God to take care of it--because we can't. It's not about setting the table and waiting for everyone else to play nicely.

It's dropping our pride and our worldliness and calling on Someone greater, even, than our own pomposity, Cal.

Trump is snubbing these baby killing, foreign and domestic enemy collaborating, impeachment hoaxing, President-framing anti-constitution, anti Americans on our behalf.

They hate him because he represents us honestly, soberly, geniuses (is that a word?).

That’s why we hired him. Cal.

Get with it.

You can only forgive someone AFTER they stop doing it.

Geniously. I guess it’s not a word.

But it is how he is going about this. He knows them. For three years he has attempted to work with them. He is done.

They’ll be wishing they’d held back

It will get bad for them. This is just the beginning.

In this case, forgiveness of the treasonous schemers who would overthrow this country would only reinforce their treason and induce them to try again. Much retribution is needed and swiftly.

“ Anyone who is critical of the president for being unforgiving needs to try and imagine how they would feel if someone was trying to destroy them, day after day month after month, ad nauseam.”

That and they’re trying to destroy America. They loved trump when he was an apolitical businessman.

It’s that he’s doing the job of protecting the country from them. Watch what happens next.

Cal Thomas longs for the days when Republican Presidents use “decency” and timidity as convenient excuses for their failures to accomplish things they promised to voters but never really intended to do at all.

Sorry, Cal ... but some of us saw through that bullsh!t years ago. You, Jeb and Mitt should go get a hotel room together.

Yeah, Right!You can’t reconcile or co exist with today’s Democrat. I still remember when they booed the mention of the name of God three times in succession at their National Convention in 2012. Kissing up to a Democrat has the same end result of kissing a Cobra. You bitten and dead. Anytime a Democrat or reporter pats you on the back or hugs you, they are feeling for a soft spot to stick the knife. By now, with as many Republican and Democrat knives he has sticking in his back, President Trump is fully aware of this.

‘More handwringing by the never-Trumper Cal Thomas.’

and if this same article were written about a president you guys hated, you’d be giving it endless hosannas...

He knows we are done with the GOP doing this. Retribution is coming.

Cal Thomas, where do I start? He’s a never Trumper so he has no business what so ever opining about how to treat anyone. These fools get so blinded by hatred they can’t see themselves in the mirror and they think the mirror is broken.

Cal has no idea what the totality of the Bible teaches which is clearly seen in two distinct places in his diatribe against the President.
Of course taking scripture out of context is what those from outside Christianity always do when trying to use it against Christians.

“Fake it” now there’s a real godly virtue.

Nasty Nancy cannot be a Christian, according the the Bible, when you examine the rotten fruit which all her actions produce and are based around. She worships Moloch (a “god” to whom babies are sacrificed).
Nasty Nancy should enjoy what few more years she has here. She will be begging before too long that someone come dip their finger in water and drop it on her tongue for some relief in Hades.
