flyangler Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 Just now, Slacker said: There is no "Evangelical block". There is no centralized leadership. But Evangelical Christians do have consistent voting patterns. The tend to vote for socially conservative candidates (pro-life). They tend to be in more rural locations and are more interested in lower taxes that in social services. They tend to be against gun control. They are going to vote for the candidate that brings that to the table. I just watched Dem debate and none of them fit that bill. the atheists need to believe that evangelicals are a non-thinking block of automatons. the progressives expect homogeneous thinking among their minions and have to expand that onto other "blocks", often erroneously.

chessie_yaker Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 For those who truly follow Christianity, ie do not accept the abominations of today in order to be edgy or popular, the choice of Trump over Hillary was an easy one. This guy who has conservative tendencies and is a business man (might have that magic wand the Kenyan couldn’t find) or a member of the church of satan Seems like an easy one there. Today, I don’t think any dem candidates speak to those who voted Trump in because he was better than Hillary. He’s still better than anyone they got. This was a neat comparison of Trump and hillary that was done just before the election and I think it covers the sentiment of those who chose him to protect their religious values. flyangler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this alone, impeachment was worth it even if it moves not a step further. So, impeachmenet was about changing election results? Nice. When this comes back at you in 6-8 years, remember this little quote and be sure not to whine and complain. Payback will be a serious bitch. 8 hours ago, MaxKatt said: The Russians will ensure his deplorables turn out, but they can't manufacure more of them. It's math. Oh man. That was a joke, right? .

55555s Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 ... I jsut thought on that some more. If you are honestly saying that impeachment was worth it if it will have an impact on an upcoming election, then the impeachment was both 1) purely partisan 2) for the wrong reasons. Thats not OK. Hopefully you recognize that. I'll close with a thought. If youa re doing something wrong to someone, you have no authority to request that the inevitable retribution is commensurate with what you did to provoke it. None. .

Just let them talk enough, and their true motivations just come pouring out. They can't help it. Like a bank robber posting his stolen loot on social media, doing the deed is not good enough unless folks know you did it. They always have to show everyone how smart they are.

Maine Guide Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 So, now the Libs like Stoney and Max are listening to Christians? CNN has it all over the news now. Funny too how they “feel” Christians vote blindly as a block, just like the Black and Hispanic Community do. Note to Libs: don’t take the Christian vote for granted just yet, like you fo the Black and Hispanic vote. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight771 Posted December 20, 2019 Report Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) It is funny, MaxKatt and Stonesipher, etc. are ignorant of Christianity but are quick to jump on any horse they think works. In Catholicism, and all of Christianity, you have a small percentage of "liberals". In Catholicism, the Maryknolls and other groups come to mind who are very left. This Pope, because of some of his positions, was hailed by the lefties as some sort of hero. He was going to pay for abortions and have gay orgies in the Vatican. Please. Because of liberalism, many of the old Protestant denominations, such as the Anglicans, are in schism and destroying themselves. Now, I don't know much about Christianity Today but I would guess they speak for a small "liberal" block of Christians. NBD. I would guess if you check their previous editorials, you will find them of the left. Big "who cares" except for you mindless liberals. Or, it could be they would like to see Trump gone so they would get Pence. Who would be more socially conservative than Trump. Hmmmmmm. This just crossed my mind.
