Does character matter to evangelicals any more?

[M14 Shooter]

....in the face of the Founder's intentions, which was to keep religion OUT of politics.

Unsurprisingly, you have this 180* backwards.
The intent was to keep government out of religion.
See? All you do is lie.

No doubt evangelicals have become a major force in politics. Their rise to power was fueled by groups like the Moral Majority and their insistence that character matters. Jimmy Carter was said to be unfit for the presidency because one of his interviews was published in Playboy magazine. Clinton's affair with an intern was seen as a personal affront to all that is good. With Trump, character doesn't seem to matter. Evangelicals are even proud of his lapses in honesty claiming that God is using a flawed man to do his will. Does character still matter, or does it just not matter for trump?

A leftist asking about character? GTF outta here.

We'll accept no lectures about character from you.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.

The Christian right is infamous for its hypocrisy.

The democrat party is imploding and lefties bring up a political discussion about evangelicals? WTF? At least two kids were killed in a Catholic school shooting today apparently by someone who targeted evangelicals.

I believe evangelicals much like everyone else has learned if you are looking for character in politicians you are looking in the wrong place it doesn’t matter if the politician is Democrat or Republican.

I would still be complaining about Mike Pence’s policies but I would not be complaining on Pence’s assault on democracy and human rights

You would be bitching about him trying to force his religious views into the mainstream, everyone knows it. Actually you'd be bitching about every damn thing he did, because that's all you know how to do. If it has an "R" after its name, crucify it on every stance.

And keep religion out of government

And there you go... you don't want religion in government, while at the same time bitching that 'evangelicals' have no morals and supposedly aren't following their religion when voting for a candidate. You can't make this shit up. How stupid do you have to be??

And we care that you think we are hypocrites? Your opinion matters less than not at all.

Obviously character doesn't matter to them If they can support a scumbag like trump.

But Stann......how quickly you forget ....
Evangelicals have no standards!

 

[konradv]

My understanding is that Trump modified the "flag burning" to "flag burning that leads to violence", so he is not defying the ruling.
The USSC will need to rule on the modified EO

Violence has always been against the law. No need for an EO. You’re just shilling for fascism.

Since when? Give us some examples where they have in the last 2 decades?

And once again, you conflate religion with morals, you ***** that evangelicals aren't following their faith when they vote, but you want no part of their morals if they would vote for someone that completely 100% represents their values. Talk about blatant hypocrisy.

You're just upset that they voted for Trump, and you'd be just as upset if the candidate had been Pence and they voted for him. Not sure who you think you're fooling on here, or why you think those of us on the right care what you think about anything we do.

Bill Clinton got the short end of the stick for sure on the personal affairs. However I'm not too sure about the rape charges.... Those sound like they need to be looked at a little more.

Well to be fair they're going through the proper channels... Political activism.... And getting out the vote. It looks like the evangelicals may become the new anti-progressive response.
