Throw Mud

Throw Mud

When all you do is throw mud, you’re bound to loose ground.

it isn’t easy to have a dialogue with Trump supporters; they have been schooled in creating chaos, grievance, disrespect, and personal attack. We should be able to express ideas about policies in a nonthreatening way, and we should be able to respect differing points of view, but that isn’t the example set by the former president. Rather, we see chaos, non-answers to questions, and Gish Gallup! We see claims with absolutely no evidence; things like, “She never worked at McDonalds, or she just turned black a few years ago.” How can any rational person confront such nonsense?

When asked who Christ’s biggest enemy on earth was, the theologian Bertrand Russell said Christians. Remember Cory Louandousky (Trump’s first campaign manager)? Under oath in a congressional hearing, he once said, “It’s not illegal to lie to the press.” A senator asked him if he believed in Santa Claus and Louandousky’s response was something like, “My kids are watching. Thanks for ruining it for them.” It’s not okay to lie to your children about Santa Claus! If you lie to your children about Santa Claus don’t be surprised if they decide they can’t trust your Christian testimony.

Do you like being lied to? Are you aware of the dominion lawsuit wherein Trump and his lawyers were shown to be misleading the public in a court of law? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_Voting_Systems_v._Fox_News_Network

The arguments for Trump are typically emotional and illogical arguments. They are things like hundreds of thousands of people are coming here from mental institutions in other countries and it’s costing us a fortune. It’s the typical verbal vomit that you can hear from Alex Jones. Where’s the proof?

Democracy demands an educated electorate and a civil society; it requires discipline and mutual respect. Do we see that modeled by those who support the Republican candidate? Do most Republicans believe in democracy? No, most of them fear the tyranny of the majority and they therefore prefer a republic—that means representatives selected to rule (white men unfettered by law). It means let white evangelicals like Roy Moore, Brett Cavanaugh, Doug Wilson, John Piper, Mark Driscoll, James Dobson, Doug Phillips, and John Eldridge make a so called Christian nation for us all. You don’t get hamburger meat from a pig and just because Christian nationalism has the word Christian doesn’t mean that it represents Christianity.

How many so called Christians stand up against Mark Robinson or Clarance Thomas? How many of them were horrified by Bill Clinton yet today support Donald Trump? In the end, it’s about politics and power rather than faith. Family values, really; not for governor Chris Sununu who now says character doesn’t matter. Family values, really, yet it’s okay that your candidate separates mothers from their children at the border, has been married three times, and has been accused of rape by more than 20 women.

Your platform says that you want to preserve the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Congratulations, I agree! Then why is your candidate selling and aggressively promoting cryptocurrency?

You say you believe in the rule of law. Really! You’re going to elect someone with 35 felonies and set a precedent that presidents of the United States do not need to have clean criminal records?
No one was hurt on January 6, 2021; really, tell that to the 140 police men who were injured and the 5 who died as a direct or indirect result.

You say the Covid vaccine was a Trump accomplishment. really? He is not a scientist and he did everything he could to discourage people from getting the vaccine. By the way, I have a case of ivermectin I would love to sell you.

You say he’s a great businessman. Really? Six bankruptcies! Paying contractors pennies on the dollar for work performed. A phony charity specifically used to subvert tax laws! A fake university just set up to separate ambitious people from their money! And while I’m at it, take a look at Trump media and technology. Is that the kind of momentum you’d like to see for America?

You say you want transparency. Great! Where are Donald Trump’s tax returns and much more significantly, where is his full health record? A 78 year old portly man with clear signs of dementia and a completely unqualified Vice President.

But I am the enemy from within because I oppose Donald Trump. And I know from hard painful experience that the vast majority of churches in the faith I claim are now apostate. Want evidence, open that Trump Bible that contains the US founding documents and look at the very end, Revelation 22, versus 18 and 19. Is it still okay with you that your candidate sells a bible with the founding documents? And if you think your gun is evidence of your great faith, may I suggest that you ponder Luke 22: 50-51.

Trust (not agreement) is at the very heart of real relationships. This election shouldn’t be a referendum on who you agree with; rather it should be a referendum on who you trust.

Your vote is a private matter. My prayer is that you will put your country over your party on election day
