Mitt Romney Op Ed
-
oh now Romneys "the swamp"...lmao. I'll fully acknowledge the MSM is annoying as shit when they give a republican an on air rimjob as he's criticizing Trump. But at the same time, even if he makes incredibly valid points that no one can refute.....he automatically becomes a "rino". Which means republican in name only.....which is funny cause Trump isn't much of a republican. He's something else, and if you're fine with that..ok. Just not sure he isn't essentially his own party anymore. Love how Ron Paul was derided for years by you old queers yet Trump comes in and essentially parrots a lot of what Paul has talked about for decades.....and now you guys take Trump to the root. Really get your nose in that bush.

A christian supporting an amoral, adulterer piece of garbage that doesn't following any of Jesus's teaching. - That is hypocrisy. I understand why you hate Mitch. He is standing by his faith, while you are wiping your ass with yours.
Wrong again. I don't hate Mitch like you hate Trump. I just think he is a RINO who will take up the mantle that John McCain left of being the republican darling of the MSM. Christians aren't voting for pastors in case you don't know, they are voting for president and I will take a pro life president Trump any day of the week over abortion loving Hillary Clinton. And your TDS is showing again....

Evangelicals Stick With the Defender of Religious Liberty
The Left is losing its collective mind these days. And why not? Just when they think President Donald Trump is cornered and his presidency ready to implode, his poll numbers inch upward. When the mainstream media sends its reporters into the “foreign” territory of the American heartland to see whether Trump’s support has waned, they’re chagrined to discover just the opposite: His base is hardening. But there’s one group among the president’s base that really irks the Left: evangelical Christians. With the tapes recording a discussion about an alleged Trump payoff off a Playboy model in the headlines these days, could evangelicals be ready to jump ship?
Nope. Trump continues to enjoy high poll numbers among those who identify as evangelicals. Why?
John Fea, chairman of the Department of History at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, seems to have it all figured out. In a recent (wrong) opinion penned for USA Today, Fea asked, “Why do so many evangelicals believe in Donald Trump? Because they privilege fear over hope, power over humility, and nostalgia over history.”
Fea characterizes evangelicals as “intellectually lazy” in waging a “failing war against thickening walls of separation between church and state, the removal of Christianity from public schools, the growing ethnic and religious diversity of the country, the intrusion of the federal government into their everyday lives (especially as it pertains to desegregation and civil rights), and legalized abortion.”
In truth, Fea wants (racist) evangelicals to succumb to the secular agenda instead of seeking to repel its corrosive effects on our culture. Instead of seeking new leadership to protect the sanctity of the unborn, promote the primacy of marriage between a man and a woman, and reject the Rainbow Mafia’s thought policing, evangelicals should celebrate the new world in which they find themselves.
That world, by the way, has left Christians vulnerable to crippling lawsuits and wrecked livelihoods for refusing to bake a same-sex wedding cake, for erecting a cross in the public square, and for reciting a prayer before a football game. Their First Amendment guarantee of religious liberty has, for years now, been under withering assault by intolerant leftist secularists.
For decades, Republicans at all levels of government gave campaign lip service to the hopes of Christians around the country only to turn their backs on those same voters once in office. Why, then, continue to elect these well-meaning but mild-mannered choirboys? Instead, why not throw in behind a serial philanderer who’s delivering the strongest pro-life message in our history and seating a conservative Supreme Court that will defend religious liberty for the next generation?
And just how has Trump backed up his rhetoric? Ralph Reed, head of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, recently stated that Trump, in contrast to Hillary Clinton, “was strongly pro-life and released a list of conservative judges from whom he promised to select Antonin Scalia’s replacement.” Moreover, Reed continued, “He pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, end the harassment of churches by the IRS, withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and defend religious freedom. He has kept every one of those promises.”
Evangelical Christians now sense a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advance the principles and values of Christianity that are today being attacked from multiple angles. As a result, they’re willing to overlook the moral failings in their president’s personal life.
But it’s not only the leftist push against Christian traditions, mores, and values here at home that’s driving support for the president. It’s the broader objective of saving all people of faith from oppression in other parts of the world.
The Washington Free Beacon’s Susan Crabtree writes, “[Former U.S. Senator and Kansas Governor] Sam Brownback, who serves as the ambassador at large for religious freedom at the State Department, pledged a new U.S. government commitment to halting the persecution of religious minorities around the world and called on other countries to join the campaign.”
Some 80 countries sent representatives to the summit where Brownback spoke this week about worldwide religious persecution, particularly against Christians, and the need to spread the ideals of religious liberty beyond American borders. At the summit, Brownback asserted, “Religious freedom really, truly is for everyone. It’s a right given by God, and your presence is an encouragement to people of faith around the world that someone cares about their plight.” He added, “Unfortunately, a large majority of the world live in countries where the freedom to practice their own faith is extremely limited … and in some cases deadly.”
Moreover, Vice President Mike Pence spoke Thursday about religious liberty, which he called the “first freedom of everyone in the world.” He rousingly addressed threats to religious liberty in China, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, Europe, Nicaragua, and even here at home. And Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a declaration calling on governments around the world to defend that liberty. The document states, “Religious freedom is a far-reaching, universal, and profound human right that all peoples and nations of good will must defend around the globe.”
It should be no surprise that evangelicals continue to support a president who has delivered more than they ever could have imagined. Her childhood Methodist background notwithstanding, a President Hillary Clinton would have dealt a crushing blow to any hope of restoring (or even limiting the damage to) Judeo-Christian values in our country.
In the end, evangelicals are not the narrow-minded Bible-thumpers the media wants us to believe. They’re actually politically astute, and they know a winner when they see one. And in the minds of Christians across the country, President Trump has been a champion for the values and principles they believe in.

Oh no, you googled crap to make you feeling better about being a fake christian. Here you go. Here some 'real' Christians that aren't cheerleaders for amoral, sexual predator.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/23/us/anti-trump-evangelicals-lynchburg.html
When politics undermines our theology, we must examine that politics. The church’s role is to change the world through the life and love of Jesus Christ. The government’s role is to serve the common good by protecting justice and peace, rewarding good behavior while restraining bad behavior (Romans 13). When that role is undermined by political leadership, faith leaders must stand up and speak out. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “The church must be reminded that it is not the master or the servant of the state, but rather the conscience of the state.”
You could justify the vote, but you can't justify defending an amoral piece of garbage.

Rand Paul SLAPS Mitt Romney for ‘virtue signaling’ over Trump
Rand Paul isn’t wasting any time slapping his soon-to-be Senate colleague for his op-ed attack on Trump.
Paul referred to Romney as a “big government Republican’ who never liked Reagan and then implies that Romney is a faux conservative because he’s more worried about virtue signaling about Trump’s character than Trump’s “actual conservative reform agenda”:
Like other Big Government Republicans who never liked Reagan, Mitt Romney wants to signal how virtuous he is in comparison to the President. Well, I’m most concerned and pleased with the actual conservative reform agenda @realDonaldTrump has achieved.
https://www.cnbc.com/2015/10/05/when-did-republicans-become-obsessed-with-reagan.html …And this is part of what I suspect would happen. Romney comes out swinging a bat at Trump and not only alienates people who want to see Trump succeed at solid conservative agenda, but also his own Republican colleagues who have participated in accomplishing a conservative agenda.
The only friends Romney has truly made with this op-ed is Democrats and staunch anti-Trump Republicans. And the media, of course.
Even Shapiro wondered on Twitter what Romney was thinking with this strategy:
Even if you agree with the sentiments here, I don't get the strategy. If this is just seeking Strange New Respect from people who hated Romney in 2012 the same way they hate Trump today, that's not likely to reunify conservatives around the principles Romney is espousing.

LINDSEY GRAHAM, OTHER REPUBLICANS ATTACK MITT ROMNEY FOR ANTI-TRUMP OP-ED
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham had harsh words for his fellow Michigan Republican Sen.-elect Mitt Romney on Wednesday after the newly elected senator wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post attacking President Donald Trump’s character.
Graham joined Brian Kilmeade on Fox News radio to discuss the incoming senator’s op-ed and Graham did not hold back. When asked about the wisdom of Romney publishing such a piece so early into his time in Washington, Graham said bluntly, “Well, how does it work to the advantage of the people of Utah?”
Graham concluded by issuing a dire warning to Romney about the fleeting praise of the media and urged him to learn from what happened to Brett Kavanaugh.
“The people who are applauding Romney today for standing up to Trump and going after Trump will turn on Romney the moment he votes for something that they don’t like,” Graham said.
Graham continued:
He’s got to learn from Kavanaugh. It’s really not about Trump, it’s about us. It’s about conservatism. They want to destroy the conservative movement, not just Trump. Kavanaugh was the Bush guy, Brian, he wasn’t the Trump guy. Trump picked somebody from the Bush world who was highly qualified, that brought the party together. Instead of smooth sailing, rewarding the president to pick somebody highly qualified, the Democrats chose to try to destroy Kavanaugh.
“What I want Sen. Romney to know, it’s not just about Trump — it’s about us,” Graham warned, “And remember what they tried to do to you, Mitt, when they got through with you? You were a bad guy. The truth is, you’re a good guy, but in their world you will always be a bad guy if you try to cross them on policy.”

Fea characterizes evangelicals as “intellectually lazy” in waging a “failing war against thickening walls of separation between church and state, the removal of Christianity from public schools, the growing ethnic and religious diversity of the country, the intrusion of the federal government into their everyday lives (especially as it pertains to desegregation and civil rights), and legalized abortion.”
In truth, Fea wants (racist) evangelicals to succumb to the secular agenda instead of seeking to repel its corrosive effects on our culture. Instead of seeking new leadership to protect the sanctity of the unborn, promote the primacy of marriage between a man and a woman, and reject the Rainbow Mafia’s thought policing, evangelicals should celebrate the new world in which they find themselves.
That world, by the way, has left Christians vulnerable to crippling lawsuits and wrecked livelihoods for refusing to bake a same-sex wedding cake, for erecting a cross in the public square, and for reciting a prayer before a football game. Their First Amendment guarantee of religious liberty has, for years now, been under withering assault by intolerant leftist secularists.
For decades, Republicans at all levels of government gave campaign lip service to the hopes of Christians around the country only to turn their backs on those same voters once in office. Why, then, continue to elect these well-meaning but mild-mannered choirboys? Instead, why not throw in behind a serial philanderer who’s delivering the strongest pro-life message in our history and seating a conservative Supreme Court that will defend religious liberty for the next generation?
And just how has Trump backed up his rhetoric? Ralph Reed, head of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, recently stated that Trump, in contrast to Hillary Clinton, “was strongly pro-life and released a list of conservative judges from whom he promised to select Antonin Scalia’s replacement.” Moreover, Reed continued, “He pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, end the harassment of churches by the IRS, withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal and defend religious freedom. He has kept every one of those promises.”
Evangelical Christians now sense a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to advance the principles and values of Christianity that are today being attacked from multiple angles. As a result, they’re willing to overlook the moral failings in their president’s personal life.
But it’s not only the leftist push against Christian traditions, mores, and values here at home that’s driving support for the president. It’s the broader objective of saving all people of faith from oppression in other parts of the world.
The Washington Free Beacon’s Susan Crabtree writes, “[Former U.S. Senator and Kansas Governor] Sam Brownback, who serves as the ambassador at large for religious freedom at the State Department, pledged a new U.S. government commitment to halting the persecution of religious minorities around the world and called on other countries to join the campaign.”
Some 80 countries sent representatives to the summit where Brownback spoke this week about worldwide religious persecution, particularly against Christians, and the need to spread the ideals of religious liberty beyond American borders. At the summit, Brownback asserted, “Religious freedom really, truly is for everyone. It’s a right given by God, and your presence is an encouragement to people of faith around the world that someone cares about their plight.” He added, “Unfortunately, a large majority of the world live in countries where the freedom to practice their own faith is extremely limited … and in some cases deadly.”
Moreover, Vice President Mike Pence spoke Thursday about religious liberty, which he called the “first freedom of everyone in the world.” He rousingly addressed threats to religious liberty in China, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, Europe, Nicaragua, and even here at home. And Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a declaration calling on governments around the world to defend that liberty. The document states, “Religious freedom is a far-reaching, universal, and profound human right that all peoples and nations of good will must defend around the globe.”
It should be no surprise that evangelicals continue to support a president who has delivered more than they ever could have imagined. Her childhood Methodist background notwithstanding, a President Hillary Clinton would have dealt a crushing blow to any hope of restoring (or even limiting the damage to) Judeo-Christian values in our country.
In the end, evangelicals are not the narrow-minded Bible-thumpers the media wants us to believe. They’re actually politically astute, and they know a winner when they see one. And in the minds of Christians across the country, President Trump has been a champion for the values and principles they believe in.
LOL, the man can't recite the Apostles' Creed even with the cheat sheet in his hand. Religious right has bought the Rainmaker.

What is worse than someone ignorant of bible teachings? The person who claims to be a Christian and knows what the bible teaches and then takes sides against what the bible teaches. The person who is ignorant of the bible can be taught but the one who knows what the bible teaches and then takes an exact opposite position of what the bible teaches is in real danger of having a reprobate mind.
Hillary Clinton for example I have no doubt knows the bible much better than Trump but that only makes her worse:
In Titus, Paul also refers to those whose works are reprobate: “They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate” (Titus 1:16)

You literally just described Trump and how he acts. And you still voted for him regardless.
I believe the term "own goal" fits here.

So does “the lesser of 2 evils”.
Anyone who was eligible to vote in the 2016 election were not automatically resigned to having to vote between Clinton and Trump. They could've voted 3rd party, as I and many others did. They could've written in a candidate or just voted on down ballot issues, such as several prominent conservative pundits did. That whole "lesser of two evils" argument is bullsh.it.

I voted for Ross Perot, because I felt he was a better candidate than either Clinton or Bush.
Since that day, I’ve felt that I threw my vote away...it was meaningless.
We both know that either a Rep or a Dem will take the Presidential nomination.
If you vote for anything else, you just cast a meaningless vote...that’s not bullshit.

Hillary Clinton is the professing Christian who does know the bible and yet is so pro abortion she supports abortion right up until birth. (I believe Clinton does know what the bible teaches because I have listened to her and she is well versed on bible teachings).
Trump on the other hand said only a few years ago he was a Christian and then said he didn't need forgiveness of sins showing a complete lack of knowledge and ignorance of what the bible teaches.
To Trump's credit Christians who have spoken with him say he is open to their teaching him so I have more hope for someone who is ignorant of the bible but open to being taught over someone well versed in the bible yet doesn't follow the teachings they know about.

Trump was pro choice for decades and supported pro choice Democrat candidates for years as well. Only when courting voters in the heartland during his presidential campaign did he suddenly have a change of heart on the issue.
I know it takes a certain willingness to suspend disbelief in order to profess religious beliefs, but how many more bridges does Trump have to sell you for you to finally understand he's playing you and other Christian voters in order to secure a voting base?

Spot on. There is more than one way of thinking about something. There might be truth to voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil but it is also true that having less evil is better than more evil. I have been glad from Trump's first day in office that he is president and not Hillary Clinton.

George Bush Sr. also flipped from pro choice to pro life to be the vice president of Reagan. I am always glad to see anyone change from pro choice to pro life regardless.
Actions speak louder than words though. For decades after Reagan, Bush Sr. remained pro life and Trump thus far has gotten the reputation as being the most pro life president ever (that coming from his critics at Planned Parenthood).

But you can't actually believe that Trump is sincere? Which means he is lying.
