Why do I need to show you a citation when you already know what I'm referring to?

You made the clam that some atheist groups have been aggressively trying to remove any public reference to Christianity, but you won't provide any kind of citation to back up your claim. So, I can only assume that you can't prove what you said. And no, I don't already know what you're referring to and that's why I initially asked you to provide some citations to substantiate your statement.

I'm not playing this game with you. I'm not going to go round and round with you.

I don't like the " give a citation" game myself. Glad you have decided to abandon it.

Your response provided one of the examples before I could. You mentioned the Nativity scenes. So there's no need for me to show you a citation for things you already are aware of.

He does deserve a lot of the credit. But he couldn't defeat ISIS as long as the U.S. was working against him. That's why it was a bloody stalemate during the Obama years.

Aleppo had already fallen by the time of Trump's inauguration. A continuation of Obama's policies would have produced much the same results. Of course, Obama wasn't on the ballot in 2016. If Hillary Clinton was won, and if she had made good on her call to impose a no-fly zone over Syria, all bets would have been off. We could have had World War III on our hands. That's a big reason we all have for thanking Trump, I suppose.

The difference was Obama only wanted to "contain" ISIS rather than destroy them. But President Trump's goal was to destroy ISIS, which he basically did.

This would have continued if HRC would have won the election:

Again, I have to argue that Putin did that. It was Russian airstrikes that actually turned the tide. Most US sorties didn't even drop their payload.

It was a proxy war when Obama was president. The U.S. was giving weapons and training to the so-called "rebels" which was practically the same thing as giving it directly to ISIS since the rebels and ISIS were fighting together on the same side. And that was working against Russia's efforts to destroy ISIS.

I don't mean to sound cynical here, but it's about time.

You'd sound cynical if you said anything other than "it's about dang time." The time was 3 years back, prior to the primaries in 2016.

Is this from the National Day of Prayer? 2017 when he taunted Arnold Schwarzenegger about ratings for the tacky reality tv show that used to be his job & made a mockery of prayer by saying that prayers should be said for the ratings? Or this year when Trump tweeted that the hush money paid to the inappropriate content star he had an adulterous affair with wife number 3 with had nothing to do with the campaign? After having told other falsehoods about it. Of course it turns out that it did have to do with the campaign. His attorney who took the fall for his actions pleaded guilty to felonies.

Trump is different from the kind of conservatives we were used to seeing, but he has proved himself solid on just about every conservative issue. And I think Trump is actually more conservative (or more sincere about it) than most of the politicians who claim it. For example, Trump was more Pro-Life in the 2016 debates than I had seen from any other Republican.

Here's what Kellyanne Conway said about it (starting at 4:52):

As @Go Braves initially asked and his question was bypassed to continue praising Trump...
