By that standard, Ronald Reagan was also morally bankrupt (having been divorced and remarried) and should have been a horrible President. The debate in Detroit was a shameless ambush by Fox News. I'll never watch that channel again. Did you notice that they had pre-fabricated graphics that they splashed on the screen to attack Trump with, but not one on-screen graphic to attack Rubio or Cruz or Kasich? Frankly, if I were Trump I wouldn't do any more debates. They aren't really debates anyway. They are attack-Trump sessions. Never any hard questions for Marco or Cruz or Kasich. If I were Trump I would take message straight to the rallies and avoid the debates all together. It was also apparent after this Detroit debate that the RNC is setting Trump up. Mark my words, the RNC is going to play dirty and attempt and either steal or strip the nomination from Trump at the convention. If that happens, all the record voter turnout that Trump brought in to the primaries will dry up and refuse to back the RNC at the general election. Hillary would then win. The RNC has determined that Trump is more of a threat than Hillary. The RNC has shown their true colors tonight and have also verified something I have suspected for a long time: they care nothing about the pro-life cause and would rather see a hardcore deather like Hillary win than see an anti-establishment figure like Trump win. The writing is on the wall tonight. I think I even caught Chris Wallace snickering to Megyn Kelly as Trump was pledging to back the eventual nominee. The fix is in for Trump. Get ready for 8 years of Hillary.
Padraig sez: "Thirdly I think there really is a Spiritual Dimension to all this." Damn Right there is a Spiritual Dimension!! Last election USA "only" 45% of "Catholics" voted for the Political Party that's main "messages-n-mission" is unlimited ABORTION, PERVERSION and GOD's REMOVAL FROM THE PUBLIC SQUARE...... and "Outreach" to Islam whilst taking little notice of the daily persecution of Christians "Over-There ... & HERE!! I'd say that there's a satanic spiritual dimension that needs to be confronted, prayed over and exposed .... EVERY DAY!! GOD SAVE THE REPUBLIC & ALL HERE!! PS: HeartLight Daily Verse - 4 March Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Thoughts on today's verse: Never alone. What a promise. As Psalm 139 emphasizes later, Joshua hears first hand. God will go with him, and us, through all the seasons of life, through all our ups and downs, through temptations and triumphs, even through death. So we can take courage and feel his strength. We are not alone! Prayer: O God who is and was and is to come, thank you for being there and staying there when all others forsake and leave. You are the one constant in my life, which is so full of change. Help me become more steadfast and faithful in my commitments and relationships to honor you and to learn more about you. Through Jesus I pray. Amen. Visit heartlight.org for more
This wasn't the thread in question. You really think the other thread which is in question contained "well mannered" exchanges?
This country hasn't been this divided on such fundamental life and death issues since the civil war. I think the door of mercy is slowly closing for us. God won't be mocked forever.
The priest at mass yesterday was talking about the origin of the word 'Devil'...Dibalos' at mass yesterday. He said it means to divide. All over the World people ar ebeing divded to become supicious and hate each other. So everywhere we see divsion and hate we can see the presense of the Diabolical. The USA has never been so divided since the Civil War so we cna see the activity of the Diabolical. Even in the Church itself, division. I think you can see this division when civility in discourse are lost. I must say the standards here I think are pretty good. People don't agree but no one wants to chop anyone else's heads off.
I was hoping to get to a thread that didn't talk about Charlie. It's getting pathetic. I don't even know who this dude really is.
You might find his site/experiences/insights interesting: https://charliej373.wordpress.com/ GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
I read yesterday that tyranny in government comes as a result of the moral fabric of the society. It could be said the same for the Church.
Let me mention something about Mexico. Mexico is one of the most racist countries in the world. I am not being mean or judgmental. The countries elite is 99% white. Even in the last 20 years, if your weren't white, you were not allowed in certain places. This is my observation from going to that country for many years. Also, the way Mexico treats central americans...those illegal aliens who cross their borders, is awful. Its funny how its OK for mexicans to come to United States but not OK for central americans to go to mexico. My point is... the world is not how the media leads us to believe. If Trump follows the law and is a man of his word...then we will be good. That is the question. al I just read focusing on non-spiritual activities leads us away from sainthood. OOps But it is sure fun to talk politics
GINGRICH: ESTABLISHMENT SCARED OF TRUMP BECAUSE HE “DIDN’T BELONG TO THE SECRET SOCIETY” "He hasn't been through the initiation rites" This is another Breitbart headline. Outside looking in.
Interesting. If the outsider candidate was someone else, I'd be all for them. I do agree in theory that it's time for someone outside the system. I would have voted for Carson. But Trump is just not the right candidate (or even close to the range of acceptable candidates) to carry the banner. Just like I think it's great to have a black President, but the particular black person chosen was completely unsuitable.
That's cool. I like them all. Kasich is a good man and still believes he can win as does Cruz. I did vote for Trump here in Las Vegas. Or caucused for him. Cruz reminds me of those people that say I'm going to Hell because I haven't made an altar call. Grosses me out.
Summation of Trump's performance at the debate yesterday (which I agree with): And then there was Trump. We don't have to get into it. I'm sick of the guy. I keep hearing that "plenty of intelligent and decent people support him," but you watch last night's debate and tell me how in God's name that could be possible. I'm sorry, but I just cannot fathom how an "intelligent and decent" person could support this insanity. I just can't. I'm being honest with you here.
Isn't this just like 2012? Pro-choice Romney as governor did not touch a woman's right to choose in Massachusetts and he endorsed RU486. Like Romney, we can't vote for Trump because he only says he is pro-life for votes when his actions show otherwise. Donald Trump gave his support to Romney and the Clintons. Hillary is honored by Planned Parenthood!
I do find the criticism of the "low information voter" being for Trump curious and valid. Like 0bama in 2008. I don't see the media or sources that question NWO thinking Trump is the Messiah like 0bama. There is a little difference. It does seem more of an intelligent decision.
