If Trump fails, we all lose
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
I made a comment on our daily radio program recently that Christians should be very thankful that Donald Trump was elected president of the United States and not Hillary Clinton. The Democratic Party of yesteryear, made of patriotic Americans who just had policy differences with the Republican Party, is gone forever. The Democrats have spent the past four decades or so evolving into a party that now works against almost everything our country was built upon. The Bible. The Constitution. The family. The free-enterprise system. I could give countless examples of this hostility but I don't have enough space here.
This is not to say the Republican Party has always defended these institutions. But generally speaking, it has. That is why the vast majority of Christians vote Republican. Before 1980, Christians voted for both Democrats and Republicans.
President Trump, while running in the GOP primary, reached out to the Christian community to try and better understand who we were and what we wanted to see in a presidential candidate. I know that for a fact. Initially I was skeptical of his sincerity. Some would say it was a political move, since he knew he could not win the GOP nomination if he did not have a significant percentage of the evangelical vote.
So perhaps it was a calculated move on Trump's part – but so what? Republicans and Democrats both pander to groups all the time. But today, Christians alone are not a large enough voting bloc to elect a presidential candidate by themselves. But Trump wanted to be our friend and he stood for a lot of the same things we stood for.
Yes, he was a flawed man who had a playboy reputation, and he had no real Christian testimony other than speaking fondly of his mother taking him to the Presbyterian Church when he was young. But still, he was not embarrassed to be seen with or stand with "the evangelicals," as he called us. (I joked with some of my friends during the campaign that Mr. Trump didn't know enough to understand that we conservative Christians are considered "unclean" by the elites. Serious presidential candidates are not supposed to be seen in public with us.) In hindsight, it was probably a blessing that Mr. Trump didn't get that and it was also a blessing that if he did – he didn't care. He was going with what he believed and he was going to listen to whoever wanted to join him.
One of the reasons President Trump has been taking unrelenting, incoming fire from the liberal elites – even before he was sworn in – is precisely because he is not ashamed of the Bible, the Constitution, the family and the free enterprise system.
Yes, I understand what I just said is open to mockery. It goes something like this: "So the president of the American Family Association supports a man who has been married three times and has lived a playboy lifestyle. What a joke."
I have to say, I did wrestle with these things. However, I did not believe him to be the same man he was in the past. I thought he was an "old school patriot" who saw what the progressives and the globalists were doing to our country and wanted to stop it. But in the end, it was Trump or Clinton who would take over the most powerful office in the free world. Did I want someone who wanted to be our friend ... or someone who considered us to be deplorable and who represented a political party bent on the destruction of our country (as we have known it) and the criminalization of Christianity? There was no third option.
I have been somewhat hesitant to state things in such a dramatic fashion. But I've been in this culture war every day since 1986. The political progressives in this country are secular humanists. They have taken over one of the two major political parties in America. They have open disdain and in some cases hatred for the God of the Bible, His morals, values and His people. This is becoming more apparent. The path they are going down will lead to the persecution of Christians. Even physical persecution.
Does President Trump always exhibit the fruits of the spirit? No. Are there Tweets he sends out from time to time that I wish he would not send? Yes. But you know what? The man is fighting these same people who want to destroy our country and who want to ruin our lives unless we bow the knee to Baal. And they are vicious and they are ruthless. And they, the God-haters, are after President Trump because in many respects – politically speaking – to them he represents us.
We need to pray for President Trump ... every day.

1.) Not all progressives are Secular Humanists.
2.) Not all liberals are progressives.
3.) Many liberals are Christians, just as the biblical Jesus was.
4.) How can Donald Trump possibly be a patriot when there is significant evidence that he was in collusion with the Russians and other foreign nationals? Did you just change your support of globalists?
5.)Donald Trump is an anathema to both the Bible and the US Constitution.
6.) Would you like me to get a ladder so you can climb down from the cross you have nailed yourself to?
Another bs article, but what else is new. Trump is far from a patriot, he has duped his base and it's so sad they can't see the forest through the trees. He is a conman, a liar, and a cheat.
How he can be called a patriot when he has screwed over his fellow Americans over the years by not paying them for work they did for him, he just claims bankruptcy time and time again.
How can he be called a patriot when his organization hires ILLEGALS.
How can he be called a patriot when NO US banks will loan him any money and he has to turn to a foreign bank, Deutsche Bank to be exact.
How religious of him to cheat on his wife with a porn star.
How religious of him to tell Marla Maples to get an abortion when she was pregnant with Tiffany.
How religious of him to say he can just grab women by the pussy
He HAS failed and took the country down with him. We are now a global joke. Please don't respond with links and but but but.....
Talk about delusion.
"If Trump Fails." ? ? Got to laugh at that.
Melania just updated her passports.
And didn't include his....His "passport" is in Mueller's office.
See how fast she slid out to West Palm?
She just couldn't resist saying "You got your ass kicked by a woman" and start laughing in his face.
Who is Baal, and what does it have to do with America?
Internet search shows Baal to be the god of the ancient Canaanites. Where do you get the idea that we have ancient Canaanites in America?
Is Tim Wildmon a nut?
He's a homophobic douchebag.
Faux Christian group if they seriously think Trump in any way, shape or form is Christian.
I know who he is , I asked if he is a nut.
No one wants you to bow down to Baal. Most people just want you to leave them and the country alone.
Or leave the country !
Or take your Baal and go home!
He openly supports discriminating against LGBT people. He is a bigot.
I suppose it's hard for someone who so thoroughly relies on others to think for them to believe that others think for themselves.
Any thinking person who reviews Tim Wildmon's own writing would come to the same conclusion that I do.
Wow KAG, who knew that you'd be a convert and state that secular progressives are the new 'Life Givers'.
Secular progressives are all Gods? I'd have to say that that's a rather odd concept....
No, you've got that backwards, it's the faux bible christians that want to legally discriminate against LGBT people.
Forcing a business to serve its customers equally, as per the Equal Accommodation requirement, is not discrimination because a business is not religious, even if they are selling bibles.
If this action is a Christian belief, then please highlight in the 4 gospels where Jesus supported bigotry?
that is a terrible thing according to many of the religious and conservative minded on this site and in this nation - especially if they are LGBT (or in some other way different)
I've never asked if the owners liked me or what their religious beliefs were before I placed my order or paid for my purchases. Emily Post never said that I was supposed to.
Maybe I should get a Happy Human broach so people know that they're dealing with a godless atheist when they see me.
Thank you for thinking of me as a god but I am sadly mortal.
Trump already got that ball rolling by getting TG's (Present and future) banned from military service.
Being mentally ill has always been a reason to be excluded by the military.
Who is mentally ill?
No they are not mentally ill. Not everyone fits in a nice neat box tied with a ribbon.
What else do you call people living in a fantasy and not what reality says they are.
It is reality what they are living. Someone dear to me is going through it, I've known this person since they were born. To hear from this person how much they hate what they look like and what they are. This person is changing that and I back this person 100%. This person has a college education, has a great job, comes from a wonderful family.
It does not matter if your "dear one" plays dress-up or how many body parts they add, remove, or modify they will still be living a lie and are only fooling them self and others were reality says they are what they were born not what Dr. Frankenstein makes them.
Of course it matters. This person changing who they are affects your life how? It's no ones business why a person changes, and you and the rest of the world will just have to deal with it.
A person's DNA does not determine their psychological gender identity. There are some people whose gender identity is incongruent with their physical bodies gender and their existence seems to be a problem for you because of your inability to understand basic concepts of human sexuality.
I very clearly remember both my high school and college biology classes. The classes that _aid XX=female and XY= male . Those classes also went on to describe the differences in the anatomy between male and female.
Like Jesus?
.
Hermaphroditism is Gaia's way of explaining to some of her slower children that whatever external plumbing one might have at birth, ( male, female, Both ), is NOT always the determining factor on how a person's personal gender identity evolves as they mature.
Just because some humans don't physical present at birth that they will be needing to chose which sexuality they fell is their proper roll in society, (like Hermaphrodites do), dosn't mean that they aren't faced with the same decisions as they mature.
Key word is "abnormality"! There is actually something physically wrong with them. Just feeling like you should be what you are not is not a genetic or physical abnormality. It is a mental disorder.
The physical gender of their body is incongruent with the gender of their brain/psychological gender identity. They are not mentally ill.
just like being left handed ... or having green eyes ... it's abnormal. . right ?
Maybe you think so but having green eyes or being left handed is not an abnormalities they are normal variations. Having both male and female parts is no normal for humans
Yes, it is normal for a small percentage of humans.
I never saw any mental instability from the TG's who served with me. It was the straights in many cases that were a french fry short of a happy meal.
it's a normal variation just like ( as pointed out by another poster ) just like green eyes, being left handed or being homosexual ... in fact.. having both female and male parts is as normal as having green eyes or having red hair
i guess you think that red hair and green eyes aren't normal for humans either ( it's abnormal ! so according to your earlier post - there must be something physically wrong with those people who have red hair and/or green eyes, right ? ), huh ?
Conservatives.
having both female and male parts
You might want to research the difference between being transgender or a morphidite.
Right, and back then they thought electrons, protons and nuclei were the smallest particles. They've learned a lot more about genes since then, too.
i know the difference (and it's "morphodite"), the poster's comment refers to transgender as having "both female and male parts" - it's a common tactic to confuse biological sex with gender identity and this is only another way to do it. I see nothing wrong with transgender individuals and have a few a friends.

" Left-handers are the odd ones out. Sure, lefties make up about 10 percent of the population"
"nearly 25.6 million Americans ( 11% ) acknowledge at least some same-sex sexual attraction"
This isn't about hermaphrodites, it's about people born with an opposing gender identity to genitalia.
It's always fun to watch someone who has no scientific knowledge whatsoever deliver pronouncements about what's "normal" in any of the sciences. No matter which scientific field is being discussed we can always depend on these "folks" to inject some high grade ignorance into the discussion.
That'd probably cause a brain explosion if attempted but not to worry he'd never actually try to learn something.
Was not always thought so by many cultures. Being left-handed was thought to be a mark of the devil and great, often brutal, efforts were made to force left-handed children to use their right hands. By the way, the latin word for "left" is sinister. I'd think even you would get a clue about something from that. So just as people eventually learned the left-handedness was a variation of normal so to eventually it will be accepted (and science will show why it should be) that there are multiple variations of human sexual normalcy including homosexuality, transexuality, bisexuality, etc. etc. Maybe you could start with this as a primer:
Homosexual behavior in animals
[and don't try to dismiss it as "just" a Wikipedia article; note considerable footnoting from the scientific literature supporting it]
Heh!
He's a total nut. An anti-vaxxer, anti-Constitutionalist (wants to shove Christian teaching into public schools and force his beliefs into our laws), is bigoted, tells his followers who to vote for since they're too stupid to make their own decisions ... you name it.
And it's hilarious, he also supports boycotting of companies despite all the screeching from a certain seeder when those on the left do it. He supports a boycott of Target because they're not bigots.
It must be exhausting to have such a persecution complex. And the mental gymnastics required to be as delusional as the author is must be even more exhausting.
He's just whining because we won't let him institute Christian Sharia law. These people persecute others all the time, and then whine about how they're the ones being persecuted. This idiot should move to the Middle East and see what real religious persecution is like.
Our country was not founded on the Bible.
And trmp is no patriot. Far from it. He only cares about himself he doesn't care about you unless you can make him money
I can see us losing and trump walking away a winner.
Well, you almost had this right. "I can see us losing and, trump walking away a wiener."
Trump (The Emperor) wears no clothes. With nearly every tax return filed by someone in the middle class this year, Trump's (and the GOP) approval numbers will continue to fall. Less than 6% of profits corporations got were spent on employees last year and most of these were 401K donation and one time bonuses. Most of those $1000.00 401K donations have lost a over $200.00 of worth. Walmart and AT&T, that conservatives were praising last year's bonus giving, fired thousands of workers at the same time it was giving out those bonuses. It's projected to be even less spending this year even as those same corporations make the same profit gains. Tariffs and the continued low spending power of the middle class will begin to slow the economy and it will be Trump's fault.
There will be no wall, no denuclearization of the North Korea, no meaningful wage increases, no lower cost health care, no stop to the "wars" in the Middle East. If the GOP can't stop him from his little "emergency" he will try to steal military spending from the Pentagon and expand the powers of the Presidency that I'm sure conservatives will continue to support when a Dem gets elected.
