Yeah, it's leftist now.
The Kingdom of God is not of this world and has no political affiliation.
True, but there would still be the choice to either honor the principles of God, or of the world in Politics!
An easy choice for me. I'll honor my citizenship in the Kingdom of God. That means not locking in with any political party. I'm actually not a Democrat. I just oppose almost everything the Republicans do except trying to reduce abortion.

You would then agree with abomination called gay marriages, that we need to ignore islamic terrorism, need to get rid of religious rights, just as the Dens do!

Maybe, when they take center stage in the debates and in congress. But Ross Perot merely ensured Clinton, who feigned opposition to NAFTA, a win with less than a majority popular vote. Trump’s was the far smarter strategy, taking and winning the Republican field. Why couldn’t a constitutional candidate of character do that? He could, if he had the political savvy.
False dichotomy or not, the reality is a lot of money runs these elections, plus the president still has to work with congress. Fill congress with third party members first to have a real shot. Until then, sitting back or throwing away votes so that the far worse of the two main presidential candidates wins seems a terrible strategy.

…and the threat of war, and the love of mammon.

Same here. I’m not a Republican, and never have been. I just oppose almost everything the Democrats do, as they seem to have no moral bottom, just temporarily appropriate others’ much higher standards to use as a weapon, never as a guide.
OK so I didn't list everything. I don't agree with gay marriage which I consider to be of God but I do agree with treating them with respect and kindness. that's what jesus would have done. Did you support the murder of hundreds of thousands of Afghans and Iraqis in Bush's wars of aggression?
You know when you say stuff like that no serious person will take you seriously.
The Iraq war was the breeding ground for ISIS and the ongoing war in Syria. We lost the Iraq as well as the Afghanistan war which cost us tens of thousands of lives and over a trillion dollars taken from the social security trust fund.
In addition, the Iraq war greatly benefited IRAN by destroying the country of their traditional adversary.
How can anyone see any good that came out of these wars?
We haven't lost anything but that wasn't my point. You called it Bush's aggression. That is propaganda and not reality.
The Neo-Con extremists of the Republican Party called for an invasion and occupation of Iraq before 9/11.
And why did they do that? Do you even no the history?
the one that the Congress supported and approved of?
Show them respect, yes, but do not condone their alternate lifestyle as being aprroved by God!
After being lied to about "weapons of mass destruction" yes.
The Dems also believed what the sources told them, was not Bush intionally misleading, and still beleive they were there, but got moved!
This is one trait of the current POTUS that was very weak in Bush. Saddam had several months to move any WMD that may have been there since Bush announced his intentions of going over there for the SPECIFIC purpose of destroying SH's WMDs.
Trump would never have told Saddam he (Trump) was coming - why or when!
Clinton passed a resolution calling for regime change in Iraq.
