    Unfortunately it is also the opinion of quite many evangelicals. There is nothing anti-Christian about pointing that out. I know many Christians who would agree and who are sick and tired of hearing evangelicals support what should be critiziced. Taking issues with how some or most white evangelicals act and behave these days does not necessarily mean you take issues with Christianity.

        A) Got a cite for that?
        2) So what?

        An anti-Christian bigot doesn't ALWAYS have to say anti-Christian things, Charles.

        What an incredibly persuasive argument!

        Thanks, Nanny.

          A) Yes. Tassman wrote: "No wonder the Evangelicals love him". If you want an example of that (that I have given you before) it goes like this:

          Washington Post asks Jerry Falwell Jr "Is there anything President Trump could do that would endanger that support from you or other evangelical leaders?" The answer (as you may remember) was plain and simple: "No"

          2) So, I gave the quote you aksed for. It is probably not going to worry you as much as a statement made by Tassman that was not anti Christian.

          Correct. But calling others anti-Christian bigots when they make statements that are not anti-Christian is confusing at best and gives the impression you somehow don't understand the concepts.

          If you have an actual point feel free to share it.

              Charles, an anti-Christian bigot can order chocolate ice cream. I wouldn't consider that an "anti-Christian statement", but it doesn't change the fact that they are an anti-Christian bigot.

                Seems there was a lot in the post that it was convenient for you to ignore. Or perhaps you agreed with it?

                  Because Charles it is much more nuanced than that. They say a man is know by his enemies, and Trump's enemies are largely leftists - so why jump on their bandwagon criticize him? Like I said in my OP the courts are my main concern and there Trump has kept his promises - fully. I'm certainly not going to join the late term abortion left that is trying to bring him down. Do I overlook things I shouldn't, yes but what is the alternative - the baby killing left?

                    Here is the most interesting part of your post: "Do I overlook things I shouldn't, yes [...]"

                    If you have good reasons to support Trump on some areas why does that prevent you from being critical on what he does on other areas? Is there really any need for this to be such an "us and them" fight in which you need to overlook things? Did you not initially make the statement that "it is much more nuanced than that"?

                          Why should I pile on Sam? The left and others are doing that everyday, everywhere. Remember Trump was not my first chose, Walker was. He wasn't even my second or third choice. And of course it is an us and them fight - the left was talking impeachment from day one. As far as I'm concerned the left is deeply wicked and as bad as Trump can be his policies align with mine.

                            It seems you suddenly claim there is not much, if anything, to overlook?

                              Where did I say that? His peccadilloes certainly don't rise to the ungodly, anti-america ideals of the left...
