Jerry Falwell's bizarre marital arrangement was only the least and latest of his sins

[txradioguy]

Jerry Falwell Jr.'s career, both at Liberty University and as a figurehead of the evangelical community, is over.

After years of mounting stunts and scandals, Falwell's personal life exploded into the national limelight. At first, he tried to get ahead of the story, with the Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard breaking his eleventh-hour statement claiming that his wife Becki had engaged in "an inappropriate personal relationship with" a pool assistant they had met nearly a decade ago, "something in which I was not involved." Then, however, came the real revelation — that one of the most sanctimonious moral scolds in the nation had recruited their 20-year-old pool boy to have sex with Becki while Falwell watched. Some people are just into that.

As a tax-exempt institution, Liberty is legally forbidden from making formal political endorsements, something Falwell jeopardized when he decided to sell out Ted Cruz, a faithful and practicing evangelical who would have materially advanced religious liberty as president, to back the thrice-married adulterer who now occupies the Oval Office. And now, there is the question of why precisely Falwell pulled the trigger for President Trump. Over at the American Conservative, Rod Dreher has an idea:

It raises an important question too about whether or not the Trump campaign used knowledge of the Falwells’ affair to pressure Jerry Jr. to endorse Trump. Former Trump legal fixer Michael Cohen told Tom Arnold that he handled a situation down in Florida in which somebody had some compromising boudoir shots of Becki Falwell that he (Cohen) had to obtain. Funnily enough, right after that, Jerry Jr., who was lined up to endorse Ted Cruz for president, flip-flopped to Trump. Amazing, eh?

In a sane society, personal circles should care about moral behavior, and public communities ought to care about consensual behavior. Falwell's followers followed neither tenet here. While Falwell degraded Liberty's reputation to help Trump, the powers that be in his community stood by. And now that his personal preferences — none that involved coercion, manipulation, or any other sort of abuse of power — have sprung to national news, the non-evangelical public has handed down its verdict. And why? Simply because the draconian and often overbearing moral policing of Liberty's community would dictate that what Falwell did was wrong.

Great.  My correct post about seeing that innocent photo and explaining it was  ON A YACHT...with theme of TRAILER TRASH COSTUMES,  was removed.  She was pregnant and had trouble zipping up her shorts. A few inches unzipped. Then FALWELL, joined her for a picture with his fly unzipped about 3 inches?  You could see his gray underwear, a few inches above.  YOU SEE MORE AT A BEACH!   THIS IS ABOUT BASHING CHRISTIANS.  SEE, YOUNG PHARAOH AND HIS DEGENRESS VIDEO WITH HILLARY AND HER TORTURE, K1LLING Of CHILD. That can't be shown. 

So, all one has to do is, make up some SCANDAL...and you all believe it?  Just like they do to POTUS. OVER & OVER AGIAN.

YOU ALL ARE GOING TO BELIEVE, LEFT, LYING PROPAGANDA?  HOW ABOUT SOME REAL FACTS?
---------------------------------------------------------------------

LEFTS ARE ALWAYS Goofy. DOUBLE STANDARDS. You must hate congress in DC who use a madame.  You have some issues with people married more than once?  Better to stay married & be a-holes to each other?  Bill & Hillary go BOTH WAYS. GAY.  Bill has a child with black prostitute, DANNY WILLIAMS. Hillary caught in hotel room with black female prostitute. Hillary raped Cathy O'Brien. Bill has19 more women of record, saying he raped them. Not counting paid off Jones or Flowers.  BUT..Bill & Hillary still together.  Obama, married to trannie, the bio parents of his kids are DR. ANITA BLANCHARD & Martin Nesbitt. Obama born in Kenya, fraud, con artist. Then gay male wh0re for rich white men to get his cocaine. Obama smokes, does pot, cocaine + loves beer so much, had a brewery in the White House. ALCOHOLIC?  Issues with little boys. HE LIKES THEM. PIZZAGATE.
  You need video of bouncing b@lls of Manchelle?  My president does NOT drink any alcohol..ever, does not smoke, does no illegal drugs, does not drink coffee.  You want to impugn him?  Clintons cheat, Obama cheats, ALL KENNEDYS cheated.  Teddy caused the death of his mistress. MaryJo Kopecny.

   It didn't take Trump's Lawyer (Cohen) blackmailing Falwell in 2016 for the Evangelical's endorsement for me to realize what a hypocritic scum bucket they all are.

 ALL BULL AND LIES ABOUT FALWELL.  People do love gossip.  Rather then believe someone is innocent...people LOVE SOMETHING THAT IS SALACIOUS AND LIES.  Lefts, do a lot of, FICTION WRITING.

Once again you just skim over the parts you don't like and go full throttle on the sections you want to. You don't admit Trump's lawyer (Michael Cohen) was doing any dirty work for Trump and Falwell was being an idiot that was far from what most Christians would think acceptable.

Your Trump blinders show you only Trump and Falwell (and his wife) in this picture. The rest of us bothered to see the whole picture.

An excellent example of an article having nothing to do with Trump, be twisted,  as if to do so.

If it's all bull and lies about Falwell Junior why is he agreeing to resign? 

If you've got proof to the contrary post it.
