Answer me, ITL.

The reason this person is disqualified from discussion with myself is that this person simply wants to argue, bases her own conclusions, not on realities, but on emotions. And if one addresses those errors there is a tendency, much like with you, to cry foul and seek to turn every discussion into an argument that brings about nothing productive at all.

So why waste time with such a person?

I gave you a conversation when you asked for how Trump would be worse than Hillary. I posted an article from USA Today and Wall Street Journal proving my point(s). Your response? USA Today is not a credible source and complained that my copy-and-paste job was in bold, enlarged font. In other words, you never addressed my points. So you are not worthy of having a discussion with.

You are so long-winded, droning on and on and on and on, even "Continuing" posts from one to another. Who wants to rebut a novel?

You have summed up what I have been saying in this thread. Although I have not broached the issue of the Supreme Court, which from what I heard yesterday delivered another blow to the pro-Life movement.


God bless.
Let HilLIARly get the nod and see what a SCOTUS we have and what they are composed of. They would eventually force churches...regardless what their SoF/AoF says about denying gays membership...to take in the LGBT ppl...

What part of "I would do my best" in regards to collateral damage do you not understand?

What part of "They care about their families" do you not understand?

There is not enough in the clip to put "You have to take out their families" in context. I could decide, from what is said in it, that he means you can't calculate their families as a definitive reason not to destroy the terrorists, or...he means you have to kill the families as well.

Both are essentially true. This is an enemy that uses women and children both as shields, as well as operatives. When it comes to taking out terrorism, we don't call off our campaign because the terrorists' families might egt killed.

We are not the ones putting those women and children in harms way...

...the terrorists are.

Again, another example of Liberal Reasoning. Get the rest of Trump's statement so we might better define the context of the statement.

Drawing conclusion on media clips might work for Liberals, but I am not satisfied with just part of what someone says.


God bless.

Again, you misrepresent the facts. Here is my response to the USA Today article...

Wow, how surprising, your conclusions are based off of propaganda.

Imagine that.

I have a number of former employees that didn't like the way I ran things either.

By the way, just curious...does enlarging the text make what we say more true, or no?

;)

...which was, by the way, in a context of whether Donald Trump was a good businessman, and your attempt to show he is a failure as a business man.

Don't you even pay attention to what you are saying? I can understand not being able to comprehend what I am saying, lol, but what you yourself say? C'mon.

I also said...

USA Today is not a neutral site, and I would suggest that there are very few sites that could legitimately called neutral.

You have not posted a legitimate site to support your rationalization that allows for a net worth of 4.5 billion to be considered a failure in business.

Why you would think USAToday, or any newspaper is a credible source for determining whether Trump is a good business man ranks right up there with your view that accruing 4.5 billion in net worth is...

...a failure.

I will admit to viewing your oversized print as emphasis on your part, if that makes you feel better. I may have done that myself a time or two.

So, DO YOU FORGIVE ME FOR THAT?


;)


You are so long-winded, droning on and on and on and on, even "Continuing" posts from one to another. Who wants to rebut a novel?

I don't really care why the prophets of liberalism shut up, just as long as they do.

Whatever excuse you care to offer up is perfectly acceptable to me.

;)


God bless.

And you seem to understand the threat Hillary Clinton poses, which is the precise basis of my arguments presented in this thread.

A side issue that has been focal is the notion that a non-vote based on religious conviction or a third party vote will not impact the outcome of the election.

It is seeming to be pretty obvious that Hillary will get the royal pass for anything she may have done which may or may not have been treasonous and criminal and she, and Trump, will be the two primary candidates in this election. It is my belief that because of religious conviction in the last election, Obama won, and Romney, ironically, a man in stark contrast to Obama because he was a proven governing leader who also had a head for finances...lost.

Abortion is important, the normalization of homosexuality is important, Foreign Policy is important, and Islamic Sympathy and Tolerance as a whole is important...to us first as Christians. Underlying the Liberal Agenda is the goal of making religious liberty suit what they define as religion. Their religion allows for the murder of infants, the murder of Christians unchecked, and ironically, tolerance for every religion except those based on the Bible. They will not admit it is a religion, but, that is our job, to point out that they are by far more religious than we could ever be, and that their religion stands in direct contradiction to Christianity.


God bless.

I read on FB that Dr. Dobson and some 40 faith leaders helped lead him into faith fairly recently. I also heard that he received a copy of a certain book that I won't mention, and while the author of the book he received is not teaching another gospel, I do not think he dives into it as he should, so if Mr. Trump is open he needs to read a book on Lordship Salvation such as the Gospel According to Jesus and refer to the many passages in scripture that teach the doctrine.

I hope that Donald Trump becomes a real Christian, and while a baby at first he grows into a mature Christian. For myself it took a while to grow and I think a part of the problem was not being taught LordShip Salvation, and having been around non-Calvinist churches and influences that all reject Lordship Salvation and so I did not learn it and how crucial it is to someones walk with Christ.

So a praise and we need to be in prayer for Mr. Trump. I plan to vote for him in November.
Would hope that he is following the real jesus of the Bible, and not doing this in order gain political points! to

Oh come on, Yeshua, why would we doubt an article from the news or a statement by Dr. Dobson?

I mean, if it is in the news...it has to be true, right?

Correct. You are called of God to combat evil and the only way to do that is to make sure Hillary Clinton is not the next President of the United States.

Pure foolishness and clearly viewed through a political veil. SHAME ON YOU!

After all the stuff that Donald Trump has said and done,to purport that the only evil to be combated is that coming from Hillary Clinton, is one of the reasons why perhaps Christians need to be quiet.

And only by voting for Trump can abortion, homosexuality, and Islam be stemmed from its current course of promotion.


God bless.

Again more foolishness. The same God who would be on His throne during a Trump administration would be on His throne during a Clinton administration.

And can't nobody stem the tide of sin but HIM.

Highlights, because our posts have become one-post-per-page....

So outside the boundary of the equation lie the factors that precede the equation, and it is only by doing that math that we even progress to that supplied by you, which was presented to dismiss the very simple fact that a non-vote and a third party vote are basically a vote for Clinton. Just as a non-vote or third party vote is a vote for Trump. What those votes represent is this: disinterest in the issues that historically lead to a vote in the first place.
A third-party vote indicates a disinterest in the issues? Au contraire, mein freund. A third-party vote is cast based on that individual's interest in particular issues, that they perhaps disagree with the primary candidates on. So once again, I'm relegated to saying: it is *only* the non-vote that is wasted.

Here's a few effects of propaganda in past elections:
1. Romney was not elected because he was a Mormon. Didn't matter if he was a proven leader and savvy in finances and governing.
2. Herman Caine wasn't nominated because he had an affair, supposedly.
3. Obama was elected because he swore Obamacare would allow people to keep their policies and that this would save everyone money, $2,400 and year.
Sources for verification, please. It's also painfully obvious that you don't have any numbers about how many voters were influenced by this propaganda.

The moral of the story, Don? Don't base your vote on propaganda. Everyone is lying, and it will not be until the candidate is actually President that we are going to see what they are made of. The decision can be logically based on prior records of the candidate, which most of us, in regards to Obama...already knew the outcome of such a Presidency. Just like most of us already know the outcome of a Clinton Administration.
But we can disregard Trump's prior record, right? Irony, thy name is Darrell....

Secondly, you are dismissing the non-vote as though they never intended to vote in the first place.
As my eighth-grade English teacher used to say: "Uh, wrong." The reason it's wrong? Because even if they'd originally intended to vote, and they decide not to (one of the four options given), then the final tally is still based on the number of people who voted. Not people who didn't vote, not people who intended to vote, not people who looked wistful and said, "I've heard of a vote." You can't quantify or count an "intention."

Third, you are dismissing the impact of propaganda and how that impacts the election, as though it is a non-issue. It isn't, Don.[/quote]
Um, no, I'm not. How that last voter votes is based on a multitude of factors, as I've previously indicated. Whether the propaganda has influenced them; whether additional facts have come forward; whether their eyesight is dim and they mark the wrong box -- all of those are indicated by which choice that person makes, which is one of the four options I identified. ALL of your supposed "overlooked factors" are addressed by the options that last voter has; BUT, the only quantifiable measure is which of the four options the voter chooses. And then the math comes into play, and quantifies the results.

At this point, whether you don't realize it, or simply don't want to admit it, you're just talking past me.

Fourth, you are assuming that not all Democrats are going to vote Democrat. Now I ask you, if a Democrat is being convinced that "Obama's policies are just weak but Trump's are radical," do you really dismiss this a preceding factor in the math and the solution?
Yes, I'm assuming that not all democrats are going to vote democrat. I provided you the reason for that in a later paragraph. It is illogical to assume that all democrats are going to vote democrat. Take, for example, Oklahoma: there are over 2,000,000 registered voters in that state. Generally, the state is pretty evenly divided: 43.6% republican, 43.5% democrat. Yet, in the last presidential election, Romney took 66.77% of the vote. How do you explain that without stating that democrats voted for him rather than Obama? And don't even try to say "all the democrats stayed home," because I know democrats in that state, and I can tell you, that wasn't the reason.

Well, I have been introduced to the data you view as relevant and a factor and look...
...its already changed.
Would you admit that reinforces my argument?
Not at all. It merely reinforces that you didn't have a clue that Sanders supporters had stated support for Trump as opposed to Clinton. All you had to do here was say, "gee, I didn't know that."

Consider, Darrell: I had the option of giving you only the first part (the 20%); I could have simply left off the 8% number, and let it go at that. But I gave you both pieces. Draw your own conclusion.

No, Don, the vote is not for the Republican Party, it is for the person that stands in opposition to the Liberal Agenda. If Trump were running as Tea Party and had the possibility of winning as he does running as a Republican, then the vote would still be against the Liberal Agenda, not the Tea Party.
Appreciate the clarification.

What is not logical is not doing everything you can to crush the Scorpion before he gets the chance to sting. We knew Obama would be bad for this country, yet here he is in his second term.
But you are going to overlook the fact that Trump is a wildcard, whereas, like Obama...Hillary Clinton is already known for what she is, and that she is going to strike is just a matter of time.
You have no logical basis for, first, presuming that Trump is going to hurt rather than help, and secondly...to overlook that fact that Clinton will further Liberal Agendas, and worse...
...seek to establish a "legacy" of her own which she thinks compares to the "Great Legacy" Obama leaves behind.
We have the perfect model for insanity in this.
Let's see: You previously said that we only have to look at a candidate's record to know how they'll behave; but "Trump is a wildcard," so that doesn't apply to him. That's the same argument the fox used....

Where your argument fails to persuade me, Darrell, is that you're asking me to choose between two scorpions....

ITL remember to Trump supporters, Trump talking is no better then the Huffington Post talking about aliens, or propaganda.
This is per Benjamin and DC.

Yes, apparently they will not accept things that Trump says unless he says it on Twitter.

By the way....The Donald has been strangely silent about the Supreme Court ruling on abortion. Hmmm....

(sigh) My apologies....

No, Don, my declaration of your vote as wasted on a third party candidate is simply fact.
No, Darrell; your declaration is pure speculation. You hope Trump will be different, and you hope he will support the Christian agenda, and you hope he'll do something about abortion...but your only assurance is that he'll be held accountable by his political party members. The only way that he'll be held accountable is by not being re-elected. In the meantime, four years....

But, that doesn't mean I can't seek to discuss the reasoning behind what you see as the proper course you should take based on your beliefs. I am not condemning you, Don, and think that if you feel that strongly about not voting for Trump because you feel it would be a "vote for evil," you are commanded to follow your conscience. But at the same time...
...I question your condemnation of Trump as evil, and even more, that he is an evil that can be compared to Obama and Clinton.
He is secular, no question, and an actor seeking to win the Presidency. But as I have said before...better a secular President that is clearly identified by Christians as an unbeliever, than a President that claims to be a Christian that is deceiving Christians into believing it is okay to be a Christian and support Abortion, homosexuality, and tolerance.
Prove to me that Trump will be anything other than a President that claims to be a Christian that is deceiving Christians into believing it is okay to be a Christian and support Abortion, homsexuality, and tolerance. Just yesterday, he walked back his stance about not allowing muslims to immigrate into this country; now it's "muslims coming from countries with known terrorist ties." And I need more than just rhetoric and speeches; show me his actions that support your stance.

In other words, there are many who think themselves Christians because, after all...their President, or candidate is Christian. That's what the Media reports, so it must be true.
Irony, thy name is Darrell.

Note that "if" at the beginning. This means that Clinton is a potential threat if she follows Obama's strategy, which she is declaring she will, but, Trump is obvious in the threat he poses.
Your' not going to spin what you said away, my friend. So now I am also waiting why you do not view Clinton as either a threat or what reasoning you present that gives an impression that...
...she will not follow Obama's strategy.
Allow me to "spin" the paragraph again, to clarify my position, using the tenets of accuracy, brevity, and clarity:
Clinton and Trump are equal threats to the First Amendment.

At this point, just as you've clarified your statement about voting for the party, I'd like to assume that I've clarified my statement about Trump being an equal threat to the First Amendment. If you require further clarification, please let me know.

Good for him, lol, if he has done this. The "Press" has become a joke. Everything these days is the National Enquirer.
Doesn't mean that Trump is going to restrict freedom of speech, that is just absurd.
1) "If"??? You honestly aren't aware that he did this? How well do you *really* know this candidate that you're advocating for president?
2) He restricts the press, and you congratulate him for this. You indicate it doesn't imply he's going to restrict freedom of speech, when he already has.

Irony, thy name is Darrell.

If he does this as a candidate, one can only wonder how far it will go when he's given the power of executive order.

Because I do not follow the news as a hobby....
Then why are we even bothering to discourse with you, if you won't make the effort to actually have the facts and truth?

Look, Trump has his warts...many warts. But our country has fallen down soooooooo far we have an habitual liar, leftist pushing agenda woman pitted against a megalomaniac. These are the two we have to choose from. How sad is this? I do think Trump will help our vets and will be tolerant of Christians, whereas HilLIARly and 'Pocahontas'(I think she'll be her running mate) will do their best to ban us Christians to Elba.
