Trump greeted by (( Huge Cheers )) at LSU--Clemson game

[TLK Valentine]

Such courage...

The herd can be a powerful force... especially with someone like Donald shepherding it.

 

[TLK Valentine]

No I would not
at least in public
but, I'm glad Trump did.

But how would anyone know you're on Donald's side, and not a piece of "human scum" yourself, if you didn't participate?

You wouldn't want to give the wrong impression, would you?

Thank goodness the herd I'd headed in the right direction.
Trump 2020
Keep America Safe Again.

And thus we've come to the point where the president not getting booed by a crowd becomes a newsworthy event.

I think it's shameful that he is the man who represents the Office of the Presidency, the Republican Party, and America itself. It's almost as shameful as him being associated with the Christian faith.

We sure are glad that a lot of people do not think that way trying to keep positive attitude towards all the presidents we have had.

Ultimately, every shepherd leads the sheep to one place.. to be sheared and butchered.

You're far from alone.

Depends on the nature of the association, I suppose.

I was referring to the Christians (evangelicals) who support Trump being called out for hypocrisy and accused of selling out, selling their souls, compromising moral convictions, and abandoning Christian principles to support Trump. And that's not to mention their Christian faith being referred to as "Toxic Christianity," and the validity of their witness has been publicly questioned and publicly mocked.

Evangelicals Are Supporting Trump Out of Fear, Not Faith

Love of Trump covers a multitude of sins for Christian conservatives

How could Christians support Trump’s lies? It depends on what you mean by ‘truth

And I had Exodus 32:4 in mind.

And I had Exodus 32:4 in mind.

There's also Jesus' warning about false prophets who come in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves (Matthew 7:15). Jesus said, "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?" (v.16). Donald Trump is definitely known by the fruit he bears in his life... sexual immorality (serial adultery), impurity and debauchery (sexually groping women), hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy. He's also notoriously known for his lying tongue and deceitfulness. And out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth speaks and he spews out malicious slander and mockery against the people he despises.

And he despises anyone who fails to praise him.

No wonder his followers are afraid to criticize him...

The Republicans who are courageous enough to oppose him are called human scum and traitors. But being morally consistent doesn't seem to be a common attribute among the majority of the Christian Right anymore since Trump came along and started politically pandering to them. We hear some of them complain about Hillary calling his supporters a 'basket of deplorables, but they agree with him for calling the Republicans who oppose him 'human scum.' They willingly dismiss his comment while complaining that Hillary was wrong for her 'deplorables' comment, and that's not morally consistent.

And those who don't deliver the requisite amount of praise might meet a similar fate.

But being morally consistent doesn't seem to be a common attribute among the majority of the Christian Right anymore since Trump came along and started politically pandering to them.

In all fairness, I don't think it ever ways... Every GOP politician dangles thirty pieces in front of the evangelicals in exchange for their support... pulling them a little more out of the churches and into the lure of worldly politics, power, and privilege.

The difference is that pre-Donald, those politicians could at least put on a show of ethical behavior in order to give the evangelicals a sense of plausible deniability -- "Sure, he's bankrupting the country, but he's such a good family man!"

Donald's ascension has shown that such shows aren't necessary -- just hand over the thirty pieces, and they'll happily look the other way.

We hear some of them complain about Hillary calling his supporters a 'basket of deplorables, but they agree with him for calling the Republicans who oppose him 'human scum.' They willingly dismiss his comment while complaining that Hillary was wrong for her 'deplorables' comment, and that's not morally consistent.

Depends on your morals -- When the first commandment becomes, "Thou shalt not deny me my piece of the action," anything goes.
