No sorry I was just talking about the people in general who have a blind hatred of Trump. It goes both ways with whomever is in office but this is the worst Iv'e ever seen it. He could cure cancer and still get hate.

And you have admitted that the love of many has grown cold:

And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

California mayor says he'll resign after comparing Trump backers to KKK: report

The mayor of a Northern California city said this week that he'll step down after posting social media messages comparing supporters of President Trump to members of the Ku Klux Klan, a report said.

Angry residents in Auburn, about 33 miles northeast of Sacramento, confronted Mayor William Kirby during a city council meeting conducted by video because of coronavirus concerns, FOX 40 of Sacramento reported.

“I spent 40 years dedicating my life to serving the community of Auburn as a physician and through my volunteer efforts. Am I perfect? No. We’re all a little flawed,” Kirby said, admitted to the council that some of his recent posts were misguided.

In one of the posts, the mayor -- who is also a physician -- a shared photo of a Ku Klux Klan hood, with the caption, “Good news for Trump supporters is that most of them already have masks,” the report said. The post was later taken down.

The council also heard voicemails about Kirby left by city residents and fellow council members, FOX 40 reported.

“These comments are hateful, degrading, bigoted and more consistent with the mentality of a 15-year-old,” one voicemail said.

All of these types should be fired ASAP.
We shouldn't have to look far.

Not really a rare thing to find a Democratic politician calling the President or his supporters racist. Their media dogs have been barking that since the President announced his candidacy -

At least we agree on that point.

This is why America is losing ground with the rest of the world. Too many Evangelicals in this Country think Trump will save them---when they should be looking to God. They enjoy his tweeting rants because they represent what they feel about the so-called fake news and liberals in general. Trump is leading them off a proverbial cliff with a lot of false prophets telling them that God ordained him to be President.

I like Trump as president and he's done much good (gotten us out of the globalist agenda, made necessary appointments to the bench etc), I also think he's funny and he makes my husband and I laugh quite a few times.. But I don't look to any man to save me, only God can do that...

Making accusations against your brethren isn't good though, perhaps you just don't understand their theological perspective as much...

Have you ever asked them why? And whether they felt the same about Obama, Bush, Reagan, Caesar and more.

As a beside, while Christian behavior is much of what made it difficult to understand the religion and the God at one point in my life, as I saw in it little appreciable difference to my own religion which confused the issues for me for a long time, in the end if God wants someone, He makes sure they are led to the truth.

You don't have to kowtow to the beliefs and prejudices of others, rather, just show ours in an honest and truthful light..

It's fairly easy to explain the theological perspectives of those you may personally disagree with, especially as they pertain to politics in general. Romans 13:1 is a good start for you on that road.

I can see we are miles apart in many things as for one thing, we are not talking about Religions-per se.

what I would add is that Obama, both Bushes and Reagan were fair Presidents--even Clinton for all his faults.

But Evangelicals have claimed more or less a war over turf though Trump and there is the problem. I live in a very conservative area of the Country and the actual blindness of many is astounding. I have asked my conservative friends "why do you support Trump" and I just hear how the liberal side is so scary.

Could go on in the stark differences, but I will say the only WAY to the Father is though Christ, as he proclaimed along with the life and the truth,[John 14:6]--- which truth[?] seems to be based on nothing more that opinions at times.

And do you think I have not read Romans 13:1? Was Paul who wrote this verse, concerned about politics?

I voted for Trump because 1.) his ideals in government policy more matched my own and 2.) I wanted an outsider in.

Why? Because for decades we've had lovely government leaders, smooth talkers all, but none were standing up for conservative policy, they were being led by the nose by the left and we were drifting ever farther to the left with each passing year.

Do you realize in overall policy JFK would be considered a right wing extremist in our day?

Good article:

"The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60's. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale.. It has been a war they’ve fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one – the violent take-over of the universities – till today.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to everyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.

Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

We are fighting against major issues such as globalization which threatens our national sovereignty, against the dangers associated with having all our manufacturing in other countries which in and of itself we see how this leaves us at the mercy of other nations at our most crucial moments (shortages of PPE right now is a prime example), against issues like abortion, having borders being enforced and immigration controlled, fighting against policies that could easily see us turn into another Venezuela etc.

I voted for Trump on a basic single issue, the TPA, TPP and TAA and his promise to scrap them all as well as get us out of the Paris Climate Accord...

Trump held true to his word and did more besides, all were of primary importance to this country, literally as important than anything we've ever done as a nation. And Trump kept his word - something NO other republican would have done.

Trump is a great big screaming no at all those republicans sitting in Congress.... hopefully they will listen next time they run.

That's true and a life lesson that (we all) need to learn.

What is it they say?
Something like?

Drinking poison and thinking it will hurt the other person.

On this Christian site we all should love everyone, even the ones that we do not agree with.

Take the excessive coffee drinker that hangs around here all so often. He and I don't hardly ever agree but, the guy is slowly growing on me.

I probably need another one on one session with the goats. Advantages of living in the country.
Goats are less expensive than a therapist.

All that caffeine could certainly have a negative effect. Especially when it makes one have such a craving for links. Coffee and sausages are not a healthy diet. Though we also disagree on a multitude of things, I will pray for his continued health and the continued health of all those that do not see things the way I do ( i.e. the correct way. ) . For the humor impaired, that parenthetical phrase in the last sentence was meant to be taken in jest and not to be taken as an expression of actual arrogance.

Therein lies the key. If the Holy Spirit hasn't regenerated them OR if they do not listen to the Holy Spirit, but instead go with what the flesh tells them.

Calif. Mayor resigns -- guess why ?

'Mountainmanbob' must be scouring the internet for obscure stories to appeal to Trump supporters' sense of grievance!

"Grievances" are a staple of Trump's appeal coupled with a nostalgic desire to return back to the 1950's where life's problems presented themselves as either black or white!

I miss him around here too. It's one of the reasons I'm leaving too at least for a while, there's like 2 zoomers here now.He's super nice & super smart. He & Ella got to hang out when he was in Cali for an interview. For SpaceX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!He landed it but it's on hold now bc of the pandemic.

Hope you stay ok during the pandemic!!!!

It's sad for many families out there.
Take care and be safe.

PS -- I'll tell the goats you said hi.

I'm gonna be leaving here too at least for a while so I won't be here to talk about your goats but keep saying to them for me!!! It's legit really cool you have them, that would make things less lonely during quarantine. Jake's grandparents have a farm too, he shares a lot about it. There's no farms anywhere at all near me. If you have grandkids who can teach u how to TikTok u could make vids w the goats that ppl would enjoy.
#goats on TikTok

oh u may not know this but GOAT stands for greatest of all time so that's why there's a bunch of Kobe Bryant vids w the goats that are the animals, lol. You take care too!
