Conservative Christians Were The Political Pawns Of 2018

[H B Lowrie]

Nazis hate Jews
Klan hates Blacks
Democrats hate Christians

The Democrats didn't always hate Christians.

The fact is, Democrats used to OWN the Catholic vote.

But since 1968, the Democrat party has been taking a baseball bat and beating Catholics into the arms of the Republican Party.

Serves 'em right for coddling pedophiles, not like they won't be in like company there.

 

[H B Lowrie]

The Christian religion will somehow survive Trump.

I seriously doubt it. Trump has exposed it for what it is.

Your communist buddies thought the same thing. 70 years later communism collapsed and the church was still there.

Yeah, just look at how different the oligarchs run it these days.

Lakhota is a paid Democrat troll, I'm sure of it.

There are a few on here. If you subscribe to dnc talking points, and yes it is repulsive, you will see Lakhotas posts and deantards a few minutes before they post them here.

The so-called teachings of Jesus are the polar opposite of Trump and everything he stands for.

such as??

 

[Blackrook]

The Democratic Party literally (yes LITERALLY) takes its marching orders from George Soros, a man who has devoted his entire life to promoting the agenda of Satan. They have no leg to stand on when criticizing Christians for supporting Trump.

This year, many have found themselves playing the role of political pawns, manipulated to perpetuate political agendas. And President Donald Trump has been the chess master.

From using asylum-seekers in the migrant caravans to push forward violent immigration policy to gathering Black pastors and people like Kanye West to appear sympathetic toward and popular in communities of color, the Trump administration seems to see all people as movable pieces on a game board serviceable to his political agendas.

While most have been forced into being pawns through circumstance and systemic oppression, conservative Christians have voluntarily chosen the role of being the most manipulatable people in the game. These Christians have been politically duped by Trump, who promised movement on their issues of deepest concern without actually following through in significantly measurable ways.

Some Christians will go to any length to gain and maintain political power, sacrificing Jesus’ values of inclusion and justice.​

If 2017, the first year of Trump’s term, was a year of hype and of creating the illusion of a Christian nation, 2018 has been the year that Trump used his pawns to do his bidding, even at the expense of real Christian values. During his campaign, he promised to defund Planned Parenthood, and in doing so, solidified a conservative Christian base. “Every life is sacred, and . . . every child is a precious gift from God,” Trump declared. “We know that every life has meaning and that every life is totally worth protecting.”

Yet Trump’s administration has made it painfully clear that he doesn’t care about life at all; he simply cares about maintaining a base. He has put children in cages at the border, disregarded the value of Black lives, desecrated Native land with the Keystone XL pipeline, oppressed trans people in the military and regularly dehumanized people through his petulant Twitter tirades.

When Trump needed people to support militarization at the border, he manipulated the traditional values of protecting your family, when he needed to exclude people from predominantly Muslim countries, he leveraged Christian fear about freedom of all other religions. Culminating in the Religious Liberty Task Force introduced by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Trump administration has catered to its Christian constituency with a track record of either ignoring or demonizing other people of faith and simultaneously elevating and espousing (politicized) “Christian values.”

When he wanted to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court despite the sexual assault allegations the judge faced, Trump leaned on pro-life values that would appeal to his Christian base. And when he continuously violates all morals and ethics in his personal life, character and communication, he is able to rely on the notion of forgiveness, grace, or Christians choosing to put up with his lesser evils as long as their political motivations are legitimized and backed.

Trump will continue to be a chess master, moving Christians toward the death of their integrity and the increase of his own power.​

How can Conservative Christians ever redeem themselves after selling their souls to a conman like Trump? They have sacrificed their so-called religious beliefs and values for political power. Evangelicals, especially, have lost all credibility. If they really believe in a supernatural God - wouldn't they assume they are being watched and judged? What do you think?

That the huffingpuffington post is full of shit.

The silly woman who wrote this piece, Brandi (yes with an "i"!) Miller, has been attacking christians, whites and men since she first got a twitter account. She quotes Michael Moore approximately three times as much as she quotes Jesus. A non stop rant for men, whites, Americans nd christians to hand over power to blacks seems to be her main focus.

This is an opinion board, that primarily is used to insult each other. am grateful to the few that have tried to present facts in areas I have no expertise, even when not agreeing with there conclusion. Find it helpful to see other points of view, in fact have modified my view in some areas. being angry has not served me well. still go there some times, but not to often.

The Christian right’s support of Trump is further proof of their hypocrisy.

Hillary Clinton told Christians to go to hell when she said her main criteria for Supreme Court nominees would be their dedication to upholding Roe v. Wade.

"So called" The devils slip is showing.

 

[Lakhota]

When the crazy left pretends to care about Christians, watch out.

We have to - especially when they're fucking up how we live. Now they're even fucking up our politics and influencing how we are governed. We have to care! It's called secular sanity.

So-called because no one has any proof that he ever existed - or especially that he was a supernatural entity (Father/Son/Holy Spirit). It's all psycho babble conjured up by superstitious old goat/sheep herders.

However, I don't care about anyone's religion - so long as they don't try to dictate how I live and am governed.

What baffles me most of all is how so-called religious people can rationalize supporting Trump.

No, they are not. You are just spewing partisan shit and bile onto the computer screen.

Certainly you care. And you arent real bright. Are these "so-called religious people" or are they religious people? If the teachings of Jesus are "so-called" then why would you be whining about following them?

And you of course, being a servile and lower tier liberal, dont know that no historian or scientist doubts the existence of Jesus. Its never been in doubt.

Just admit you are a nasty anti-christian bigot who cant stand the idea that there are people much smarter than you who laugh at your bigotry.

They always go after children. Its demonic that they have rejected God and made sucking babies from wombs into their religion.
