Funny thing, tho... say what you will about Obama (and I know you will), but he a regular Barry Goldwater compared to some of those "Leftist extremists" Donald's feuding with... and most of them, such as AOC or Ilhan Omar, didn't get into Congress until after Donald's election... or more accurately, because of Donald's election.

Some might argue that Donald caused the very leftist extremism you say he's standing up to... radicalism tends to be reactionary in nature, after all.

If he actually caused the leftist extremism, then how do you explain why he was elected right after we endured 8 years of that guy you told me to say what I will about? It's just as easy to say Obama caused Trump to be elected, but of course that would be responded to with, "That's because America is so racist!"

You left out the part about tossing Christians to the lions during the Super Bowl Halftime show... right before the entire nation gets rocked by a Wrath-of-God earthquake and slips into the sea...

One thing I simply cannot abide is half-hearted fearmongering.

But you can still dish out the goading?

How about standing up to those who want to censure him based on false accusations, or because he stands in the way of an extreme Leftist agenda that will bring down the country and even suppress your ability to live as a Christian?
Which false allegations? Please be specific.

And what agenda? Please do not speculate and support with evidence.

Because, in spite of you being classically conditioned to see him as a radical leftist, Obama was, as I pointed out and you ignored, somewhat to the right of William F. Buckley compared to what you've got to deal with today.

Your panic is, as usual, utterly unfounded -- I agree 100% that Obama's presidency led to Donald's ascension.

Sort of like "Go back to your own country" in reverse.

Well, we're not hearing it from the government, but from private companies, so it's more like the baker who refuses to bake your wedding cake -- surely you of all people can relate to that, can't you?

It was the Electoral College that caused Trump to be elected. Even as flawed as she was, the American people, by a margin of over 2 million, voted for his opposition.

I am not interested in presumption, assumption, conjecture, supposition, or opinion as a basis. Those are MOOT without God's Word for substantiation.

Donald Trump is a crass, megalomaniacal, narcissistic demagogue. He's a national embarrassment. He exploits Christians with ugly rhetoric that plays on their most atavistic, xenophobic impulses. And then he revels in their cult-like adulation. Not to mention that he's destroying our country's standing among not just our traditional allies, but all the civilized nations of the world. The American people deserve much better than that.

Here a bit of God's word for your consideration:

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 16:18

Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 22:21

The accusations aren't false, he has said something that is xenophobic and bigoted.

So whats your take on Ilhan Omar?

She's not my congresswoman and I don't provide support to her, so I don't really have an opinion about her.

That is NOT the context of what Jesus is telling us. This erroneous presumption could not have been made by anyone who knew the context of the verse, but I anxiously await your getting off the phone and showing us where Christ shows us that He was being facetious when He said that. I am not interested in presumption, assumption, conjecture, supposition, or opinion as a basis. Those are MOOT without God's Word for substantiation.

She and AOC are the only ones who can win a Twitter war with Trump

Ilhan Omar on Twitter

And that is why AOC will be president in 2024 and Illhan will be the next Democratic Speaker

That's right! He should be silenced on Twitter just as conservative voices are now being silenced on Youtube and Facebook. Then he'll truly be one of us! ;)
He’d still have the “bully pulpit” (which he misinterprets, IMO), of the Presidency...that’s not enough?

Alas, in elections, it's not just about who you are, it's about where you are.

Then wouldn't it stand to reason that if we end up with an extreme Leftist as our next president in 2020, the next president after him/her would be even more Right than Trump?
