That is an absolutely despicable personal attack, wolfcreek.

You have NO right to call Luis a traitor.  That is disgusting.

And yet the Trump cabal are the first and the loudest to complain about 'personal attacks'.

Yet another example of how Trump's supporters engage in nothing but projection in order to stifle and silence any opposition to their prince.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I said nothing about not voting.  I am going to vote, and agree with your reasons for voting.

I am just not voting for either corrupt, unChristian candidate that the two major parties have put up.

I've heard the "King David" /"Saul" arguments for Trump, but the basic ingredient missing is that both men were repentant, and Donald Trump is proud of his sinfulness.

As a Christian, I will vote, but my conscience will not allow me to vote for evil.

God's will WILL be done, as it always is, and I have to stand before HIM with every decision I have made in this life.  The one thing I will not do is vote for a man who supports the murderous organization Planned Parenthood, and has claimed he is "completely pro choice."

You cannot bully OR guilt me into doing what my Christian principles will not allow me to do.

You can keep trying, but it won't work.

Well let's be fair here...I'm not trying to bully you or guilt. ..and certainly wasn't y intention.  I simply stated 'why' I've decided to vote Trump.

As for Trump being repentant........it took drastic measures for Saul/David and others to come to that point. It usually does for strong willed men..... I suspect it will be the same for Trump, he has many praying for him and certainly never in his life had so many powerful and influential Christian men surrounding him, and he is certainly being influenced in the direction of heart we'd hope he would go.......but it is not a requirement for President.

Trump does 'not support abortion' he wants to leave planned parenthood as it is for now, I suspect he'll want to find a way to rid the organization of performing abortions and the sale of baby parts.

Concerning not voting for someone so evil....yes of course you must do as you think is right. I do not see voting for Trump as voting for evil, rather I'm voting for a President to run this country .......

So with this I leave your company and trust to the one we serve first.

Unfortunately,  I saw it.  The more wolfcreek opens his yap, the more I'm convinced that Trump's supporters are pure poison and I must oppose Trump on that basis alone.

I'd rather endure Hillary as President than support the candidate of the alt-right.

It is not a requirement for a President to be a Christian, but it IS a requirement that a President have values other than his own whims and urges.  Character is something that we have always said was important in a President, and now people supporting Trump are willing to throw the concept of integrity out the window.

It doesn't work that way.

As for abortion, I'm not sure that you have done your homework, or listened to Trump when he's speaking about the subject.  He's clearly never thought about what it means to be pro-life in his life, and has stated outright that he is "completely pro-choice."  Even after the information came out that PP was selling body parts, he publicly supported them fully.

He IS pro-abortion.  Your "suspicions" of what he will do are not based on a single fact about his views.

As I have said before, God's will IS going to be done.  But I can't help but believe that God has left America to its own evil choices by allowing Barack Obama to win two terms, and by now allowing us to have only two evil choices (in the two major parties).

Donald Trump is the logical extension of the choices America made with Barack Obama, and we are sinking even further into the abyss.

If Trump is elected, we don't recover.  If I didn't have the Lord right now, I would be in despair.

My HOPE is in Christ alone.

I don't think wolfcreek can be described as "alt-right."  There's nothing "right" about being vile.

But you are right that the more he talks, the more he indicts himself, and the more sense it makes that he ardently supports a cretin for President.

Calling Luis Gonzalez a traitor because he is "pro amnesty" (he's not), and because of his Hispanic last name.

Was I talking to you, Luis?

You forget his brother was the Governor of Texas. If I knew what I know now about that family, no, I wouldn't have voted for him.

 I suspect Jeb is kowtowed into the amnesty by that little Mexican woman he married.

[/quote]

That's not racist,it's the REALITY in many cases. Mostly due to the efforts of the Communist Party through their agents in the Dim Party. They have been at that since the 20's. You keep telling poor people over and over that the only reason they are poor is because "the rich white man is holding them down and stealing all the wealth",and after a few generations,it becomes accepted as truth. The Communists/Dims did this to drive a wedge between various groups of American in order to gain power for themselves and to destroy our way of life.

However it is NOT the reality in the case of Luis. I have been reading his posts for years,maybe even decades,and I don't recall him ever posting anything even remotely indicating he considers himself to be anything other than an American.  Yes,his last name is a Cuban name,but that doesn't mean HE is a Cuban. His ancestors were Cuban. Big freaking deal. We all have ancestors from all over the world.

And for the few of you (not YOU musiclady) with short attention spans,there is no such race or religious faith as American. Americans come in all sorts of shapes,sizes,colors,religious beliefs,and BOUND to piss off some here,even sexual orientations.

The only Litmus test is the answer to the question "Do you consider yourself to be an American above all other traits you may have?"

BTW,note to the Mods. Anytime you just blindly delete stuff like that instead of let it stand and be judged,you are doing nothing when it comes to defeating it.
