Why I can no longer call myself an Evangelical Republican

Funny....Washington have no political party and actually warned against them....Jefferson was a Democrat/Republican...which morphed into the Democrats by Jefferson's time....Roosevelt was a Progressive Republican and Lincoln was a Republican when that party was young and was the Liberal party in this country.
 
I couldn't care less whether you are evangelical this that or the other, except for when you declare yourself to be an evangelical idiot.

You believe that Moore is sexual harasser based on a completely unproven political attacks. If this is what it takes to change your faith, either you had a shit faith or none at all. Based on the streampile of garbage that you just spilled I am thinking the second one, although not many groups would wait to ditch you based on what you wrote.
Have no way to know for a fact how Moore did or did not act, the fact that he said that one of the amendments we should get rid of is women's right to vote. that & the fact he is an idiot is enough for me.
 
Why did you feel the need to add the word "evangelical" to your political affiliation? The best thing for lazy uninformed idiots to do is vote for a democrat. That way you don't ever have to worry about pesky issues like morality and family values because the democrat party claims neither.
Not everyone has the same idea of what "morality" or "values consist of. I'm sure the Democrats have concerns regarding these very issues.

MORALITY was an absolute, some things were absolutely RIGHT and some things absolutely WRONG, which put a real linchpin in what democrats could do, so they invented "Moral Relativism," which pretty much lets you get away with anything now by letting you make up your own standards!

So just who among us gets to determine what "absolute" morality is? The human race has no such person.
 
"There are times in life when the institutional ground underneath you begins to crumble — and with it, longstanding attachments. Such is the case for me when it comes to the Republican Party and evangelicalism.

I’ve been a part of both for my entire adult life. These days, though, in many important ways they are having harmful effects on our society.

The latest example is in Alabama, where Roy Moore, the Republican Senate candidate, stands accused of varying degrees of sexual misconduct by nine women, including one who was 14 years old at the time. Mr. Moore leads in most polls, and solidly among most evangelicals, heading into Tuesday’s election.

Yet the support being given by many Republicans and white evangelicals to President Trump and now to Mr. Moore have caused me to rethink my identification with both groups. Not because my attachment to conservatism and Christianity has weakened, but rather the opposite. I consider Mr. Trump’s Republican Party to be a threat to conservatism, and I have concluded that the term evangelical — despite its rich history of proclaiming the “good news” of Christ to a broken world — has been so distorted that it is now undermining the Christian witness.

Assume you were a person of the left and an atheist, and you decided to create a couple of people in a laboratory to discredit the Republican Party and white evangelical Christianity. You could hardly choose two more perfect men than Donald Trump and Roy Moore."
excellent article more at this link.
Opinion | Why I Can No Longer Call Myself an Evangelical Republican

How could 81% of Evangelicals cast a vote for a man with no honor, no respect, no dignity, no decency and the only loyality he has ever shown to anyone was to himself and Vladimir Putin? How do Evangelicals stand up in support of a man that has been accused repeatedly of being a child molestor?

All over this country there were white male pastors that were singing Trump's praises during the campaign season. Including Mike Huckabee, Billy Graham Jr. & several others. Where did Evangelicals lose their way? Another good article. How the bible belt lost God and found Trump.
How the Bible Belt lost God and found Trump

By doing this, do they have any idea how many they have chased away from the teachings of Jesus Christ? How many refuse to go church today, because they so heavily supported Donald Trump. They instead, have made a mockery of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Yet today, there are Evangelicals in Alabama that refer to themselves as Christians supporting Roy Moore.

As the above article (How they lost GOD and found Trump) explains -most of their political interest is centered around abortion. Which is a 46 year old U.S. Supreme Court already settled issue. One that Neil Gorsuch, Trump's nominee, stated during confirmation hearings: That Roe v Wade is precedent in the Constitution, meaning set in stone.
Gorsuch to Feinstein: Abortion ruling is 'precedent'



So are they really Christians? I don't think so. I think they're red hat Jesus followers more than anything.

Call somebody that gives a shit...

I believe that is the point of the OP....that today's so called evangelical Republican doesn't give a shit about morals anymore.


Why hasn't Moore been arrested? Sexual activities with a minor is
a crime.

Do you know the reason why?

BINGO! No person gets to decide. God (religion) is the basis or morality! That is why every big government and socialist movement, the first thing they attack are the churches and religion, because that takes away a higher authority than them. And if you tell me that religion is just made up by men, then I'll know you to both be a fool and an atheist.
 
You have to be charged with a crime before you can be "exonerated" liar.
What's the lie? He hasn't been exonerated has he? If only you'd been that judicious when speaking about the Clintons and Obama, I'd care a little more about your opinion on the matter.
 
I decided this past weekend to de-register as a Republican.

I am a Reagan Republican, and a follower of Bill Buckley. I am very grateful both of them are not alive to see the sickos who have taken over and destroyed their movement. I'm sure they are both spinning in their graves at warp speed.

Roy Moore was the last straw for me. I feel the GOP is now completely irredeemable. There is no coming back from that.

I can no longer tell people "I am a Republican" without feeling I have to explain I have no love for Trump or his fucking sick horde of retarded win-at-all-costs-to-all-that-is-sacred minions.

It's just not worth it anymore. There is nothing salvageable in the Republican party for me to attach my name to. I have nothing in common with these people any more.

There is no fiscal conservatism. Only lip service which they know to be a lie as they utter the obligatory words.

There are no morals or family values. Only pretension which is exposed and exploded on nearly a daily basis.

There is no religious foundation. Only rampant hypocrisy, personal gratification, and turpitude.

There are no truths. Only theater for the rubes.

There is no small government. Only more power grabs which have made victory more important than principles or country.

I'm done.

I'm so done.

I cannot soil my name any further by putting a R after it.

Here is some of that hypocrisy I am talking about.

I spent literally YEARS listening to the sick fucks make completely unsubstantiated claims about the Clintons and pedophilia. I watched them jizz in their pants with excitement at the blazingly obvious hoax that Anonymous was going to release a child rape tape.

YEARS!

Then an actual accuser steps forward to point her finger at Roy Moore as molesting her as a child, and suddenly these same fucking sick fucks are all about the rules of evidence!

Yeah, right.

Fuck you. Fuck all of you to hell.

Soon as you find out, let us know. I'm still waiting to find out why:

Obama hasn't been arrested for impersonating an American citizen with a social security number from Connecticut, a fake birth certificate, a sealed record from Columbia University and wire-tapping many political opponents?

Why Hillary hasn't been arrested for:
  • fraud in trading cattle futures,
  • Vince Foster's death,
  • the numerous rapes, assaults, threats and character assassinations of the women victimized by the Clintons,
  • the 100 missing pages of legal records in Whitewater that when surfaced 2 years later showed she was guilty,
  • for the trading of donations by Chinese corporations to the Clintons in exchange for many top U.S. confidential technological secrets,
  • the stealing of many confidential tax records against many of their political opponents,
  • the attempted theft of $190,000 worth of White House property upon leaving office, doing $14,000 worth of damage to the property,
  • getting huge political donations for Hillary from a person who was then absolved of his tax crimes and pardoned by Bill,
  • taking huge political contributions from an agent for the Iranian government before then swinging deals in favor of Iran,
  • having a Chief-of-Staff linked to the Muslim Brotherhood,
  • pay-to-play russian contributions leading up to the release of nuclear material back to them,
  • ignoring HUNDREDS of pleas for reinforcements or evacuation from Benghazi that lead to the deaths of four men in order to cover up illegal gun-running operations, then tried to cover it up with a phony story that it was all started because of some movie,
  • the felony mishandling of many top secret documents that compromised and did harm to intelligence operations around the world through an illegal, unsecured server, then the destruction of tens of thousands of government files and records, hard drives, phones and other devices after their being subpoenaed in order to cover up the crimes,
  • financing a fake dossier against one political opponent while rigging the election against her other opponent hoping it would be enough to throw both Bernie and Donald Trump out of the race so that she would be president.
Why
Eric Holder,
John Podesta,
Valerie Jarrett,
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
Lois Lerner,
John Koskinen,
James Comey,
Huma Abedin,
Susan Rice,
and
Loretta Lynch haven't been arrested yet for everything from illegal gun operations leading to the death of others, to using an illegal Pakistani computer expert who then tried to flee the country, violating many people's civil rights in order to swing the 2012 election in favor of Obama to get him reelected, tampered with an FBI investigation, lied to cover up crimes, and met privately with a suspect under federal investigation just prior to their being released from investigation?

Because it's 99% bullshit.

My theory is the political evangelicals think God will forgive them because Moore will advance "Dominion Theology", which is part the evangelical belief. In other words, the ends justify the means.


Agreed, I grew up acting like a Christian. Being fair and decent with others is a Christian character trait. You know "do onto others as you would have them do onto you." Very basic. Somewhere along this line--Republican Evangelicals lost their Christian sole. They no longer can see the big picture of what it is to call yourself a Christian, nor what it means.

It doesn't mean you can quote scripture in the bible---it's what is in your sole that counts, and your character and how you behave is a reflection of that Christian sole.

Donald Trump & Roy Moore have never represented an ounce of it, in their behavior, their tweets, and what they say.

"Evangelicals" support Donald Trump, and that tells me everything I need to know about how completely corrupted their souls are.
