Default end of an era

"Hear the rumble beneath the great collapse. The pretense of evangelical cohesion in America is disintegrating even as the Republican Party implodes, with rubble surrounding the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump. Long-hidden fissures have surfaced, making the obvious painfully clear: The term "evangelical" has become so thinned and adulterated it's worse than meaningless. A question hovers over "traditional" evangelicals such as me, wistful for the pre-1980 era when the term defined a solid theological position divorced from politics"

When the repubs backed trump they turned their back on their religion. The hypocrite super religious hypocrites like robertson, graham and their ilk have taken on his hate, bigotry, degrading our military, backing the communist russian dictator ect. They have destroyed peoples faith in religion.

That's all very interesting rhetoric, I am sure, but what do you call it when DemoRats support crooked Hellary? Are you saying that DemoRats are held to a different criteria not morally or ethically based?

You have yet to produce any statements of hate, or bigotry. Trump has not degraded the military, quite the opposite. He wants to build it up and he wants to support our Vets. Hillary doesn't give a rats @ss about the military and all the Clintons hate the men in uniform. Trump does NOT back the Russians but hinted that it would be useful to have an alliance with them. It's been done before. Obama wanted to build alliance with Muslim dictators and Communists like Castro and Chavez. Hillary wants to kill babies, so that kind of takes her out of the equation.

So, to put it civilly, you are talking out your @ss because you have no clue to real world current events. You have been fed a bunch of out dated liberal talking points that do not fool anyone, other than possibly a below average high school student. So, if you don't want to embarrass yourself, I would suggest that you go seek some gullible facebook clowns that will believe your manure.

looks like that's the way it is
Regardless of age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic region, Americans who are more religious tend to identify more with the Republican Party than the Democratic Party, a new Gallup poll shows. Americans who are not religious tend to identify more with the Democratic Party.

Religious Americans more likely to be Republican, poll shows - CBS News

Such hypocracy as one supports the criminal felon, reckless, careless, killer of Americans, haggard, can't put two steps together, tent model Clinton.

Election Betting Odds today has Clinton at 78.5 percent chance of being our next President. Trump has a 18.7 percent chance!

Not going to get your 270 Electoral Votes like that, Trump.

I know some of those evangelicals. They actually believe every word in the Bible is literal - even from the Old Testament. Genenis is a great collection of ancient folklore.

One of my "educated" nieces actually believes the Earth is about 6,000 years old. Needless to say, evolution is unthinkable to them!

Yes, these people do vote as a bloc and it will be for whatever conservative Republican is on the ballot.

Most would like to see the USA turn into a theocracy with the likes of Jerry Falwell or Jimmy Swaggert as the Supreme Leader.

Because of YOU and people like you the republican party sights over and over and over again the SECOND AMENDMENT and by the way I do support the right to bear arms. The first TEN amendments are called THE BILL OF RIGHTS and they are in order of IMPORTANCE.
The FIRST AMENDMENT prevents what you demand, the establishment of a state religion.

THE PRESIDENT REPRESENTS ALL THE PEOPLE-NOT JUST THE EVANGELISTS.

Re: our military
You should read president Eisenhower's speech warning about the expansion of the industrial military complex.
The US spends more on our military THEN THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD. France for example has ONE aircraft carrier we have TWENTY SIX. Building them costs billions. Hell the paint alone is millions of dollars. There are thousands of personnel aboard, hundreds of planes it is simply obsolete as a single missal can sink it. It looks impressive but it is too valuable and too big a target. Our real weapon is the submarine. Armed with nuclear torpedoes and nuclear missals they can take out a country and never be seen

" Progressivism " is a form of religion as well . It is a godless religion of sorts in that it places the " wisdom " of the State above that of it`s citizens .
Apparently this is the type of Theocracy that the majority of Americans are seeking . A single ruling Party consisting of very Liberal elites .

Read it again. Establishing a religion does not mean NO RELIGION. And Faith and Religion are two different words, that do not necessarily have to go together.

There are also misinformed people who think the races and sexes are EQUAL. They're just as nuts as the religious wackos. They vote for whatever liberal is on the ballot.

Whenever you replace facts with "faith", you have a "religion". Much of "science" could be called a "faith based religion".

Another compromise, they should have BANNED religion.

You have not heard trumps ramblings? You are deaf and blind or need a course in the meaning of hate, bigotry, and untruthfulness.
