I've said often that Donald Trump's followers are keeping me firmly in the #NeverTrump camp as much as the candidate himself. From the endless voices demanding that I "fall in line" to the ones who have called me a traitor for daring to suggest a third-party vote to the evangelical Christians who are willing to abandon their holy principles to trick us into believing that Trump is a great man of the faith, the Donald Trump crowd gets more exhausting and annoying every day.

And now there's James Patrick Riley. The man who calls himself "a living historian, filmmaker, wine-lover, and would be novelist" is now on record boldly pointing fingers at Max Lucado and other believers in the Never Trump crowd and labeling them Pharisees for expecting a candidate who calls himself a Christian -- and courts the votes of Christians -- to act a little more, you know, like a Christian....

We are labelled the same thing from these same types of "Christians" who are upset we will not accept or celebrate homosexual marriage.

Nothing new under the sun for those who call evil, good.


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

He has a blog.
http://www.jamespatrickriley.com/

Looking through the archives, very odd bird.  He seems to have an inordinate obsession with sex.

Example:
Quote
Open the windows, (even if you close the drapes), and let that all that guilty stink out. Your husband wants to see your breasts, ladies. He wants to celebrate them.  He wants you to tempt him, play with him, be his seductress. And ladies, don’t crucify your desire.  God gave it to you for a reason.

It looks like his other claim to fame is a self-produced, self-directed, self-acted in vanity movie. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4487672/
