The Christian Right's acceptance of Donald...

[SHRED]

...negates any moral indignation they may have against a Democrat going forward.

They are supreme hypocrites who we've heard from for decades about Bill Clinton.

1. They're ecstatic that Trump is appointing so many RW judges

most likely sent up there by Pence, and that the GOP run senate is fast tracking them.

[olegramps]

22. This is nothing new for the Bible Beating Backsliders.

We I was a kid we used to watch as the congregation gathered out side the local Baptist church. Everyone of them had real bad colds and the trash bin was filled with empty 90% alcohol cough medicine bottles before they went for the fire and brimstone rant crying Amen, Amen, and a couple of hearty Hallelujahs.

P.S. That didn't include the flasks filled with white lightening. It took some powerful fortification to get through that Sunday ordeal. Just remembering back when.

[Lars39]

2. What a wormy pos that Jeffries is.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

3. Because The Christian Right's Bible Only Contains Two Pages

Page 1: Hate gays.
Page 2: Hate abortion.

The End.

[kairos12]

4. I would add hates health care for all.

[bitterross]

6. Hate the poor and downtroden

They've replaced caring for people with the prosperity gospel. Where the fuck the prosperity gospel came from is beyond me. It sure wasn't any part of the Baptist church I went to.

On Edit: Because God rewards people with prosperity. So if you are poor, then you must deserve being ignored by God because your actions made you poor. Not our robber-baron, gilded age, capitalist at all costs society.

[olegramps]

25. Well, I guess your experience was a mite bit better than mine. They sure didn't include Black folks

Best I recollect, most folks I knew hated "N"s Catholics and Jews. I thank my good fortune that I was delivered by the hand of "Govment" to sanctuary in the evil North. I was blinded and now I see.

[bitterross]

38. Not better - pretty much the same

I was raised Southern Baptist. The denomination that held out the longest as pro-slavery. Catholics were not really Christians to them and Jews were these people to be converted.

Aside from that, there was some emphasis on helping out others though. They actually used the lesson about the camel and the eye of the needle where I grew up.

[demigoddess]

31. Rush Limbaugh back in the 90s and probably since spent a lot of time

convincing people that if you were poor and republican, you would someday be rich. That republican laws made people rich. I remember one caller talking about his parents and how much they paid for a house. I figured he was about my age and when he mentioned the price I knew that back then it was an expensive house!! But in the 90s it didn't sound like an expensive house. He also mentioned how much his dad earned and back then it was a great deal, just not so much in the 90s. The caller I bet was a paid performer not a real caller. That is how limbaugh convinced people. It is called Brainwashing!!! Tuck in a little religious angle and you have the same thing.

[njhoneybadger]

33. Bingo

Fake Christians

[FakeNoose]

34. Many (not all) are racists

Just sayin'

[SHRED]

39. It's racism also

[Still In Wisconsin]

35. ... and there's an asterisk on page two: Hate abortion unless

a pregnancy will somehow inconvenience or embarrass you, or make you look less pious. Then, by all means get the abortion. Just don't tell anyone.

There is no asterisk on page one, however. Right wing Christians hate ALL gays, even themselves if they are closeted.

[dalton99a]

5. Their idol is a pussy-grabbing thieving pathological liar who cheated on his 3rd wife

with a porn star, and who is actively working against American interests

[logosoco]

7. That would be logical...

but they do not think like that.

[RKP5637]

8. The Christian Right, bringing hell and evilness on earth. n/t

[ck4829]

9. Not just any Democrat but this can protect everyone they dont like

“Gays are causing earth...” “You supported Donald.”

“Lesbians caused 9...” “You supported Donald.”

“Transgenders want to use our...” “You supported Donald.”

“Liberals are putting mind control cubes in our...” “You supported Donald.”

It’s that simple.

[Dave Starsky]

10. If it turns out he once screwed a man, he MIGHT lose some of them.

Notice I said "man", not "boy". Republicans have demonstrated that they are perfectly okay with pedophilia and think that it's not gay if you are the "top" in an encounter--the screwER rather than the screwEE. Just as long as you're not on the receiving end. I can just hear Pat Robertson, his eyes half closed in religious ecstasy, explaining why Trump is a model Christian even though he (in this hypothetical scenario) rogered a teenage boy.

Oh, who am I kidding? Trump could roast and eat a baby on live TV, and the Evangelicals simply would not care less.

[Still In Wisconsin]

36. For many, Trumpism is literally a cult.

I personally know people who, by any rational definition of the word, *worship* TRUMP.

I don't get it. Why TRUMP? I can see someone like Cruz (equally gross and wrong, but would make more sense) but why TRUMP?

[Dave Starsky]

37. I honestly think some of them think he's the Antichrist.

And they LOVE it!

Because it means the Buybull is true and Jebus is coming back.

[IluvPitties]

11. Dominant whiteness

is all they care about.

[TwistOneUp]

18. Yes! You are correct! nt

[workinclasszero]

12. You got that right!

Any BS moral authority the conservative religious right ever had was burned to ashes the day they all ignored his pussy grabbing statement on tape.

Not to mention the hush money payments to a porn star etc

Just remember, the fucking religious right republicans with the 100% backing of their fake christian preachers IMPEACHED Bill Clinton for a BJ!

Trump make BC look like a choirboy!

Trump has done a hundred things worthy of impeachment and when the democratic party regains the House they damn well better impeach that evil scumball traitor in the White House just like Bill Clinton got!!!!!

[Farmer-Rick]

13. They think god loves him because he's rich

God gave him wealth, he was born into wealth, so he was chosen by god. Just like all those kings and queens were chosen by god. Just like all those rich criminals were chosen by god, just like all those warlords were chosen by god, just like all those drug runners were chosen by god.

God sure picks some horrible people to bestow wealth on. Are we sure a god is giving all those criminal wealth? Perhaps another more diabolical creature is handing out wealth.

[DownriverDem]

14. Guess what it's all about?

Ending abortions. That's all that matters to them. They subscribe to the "ends justifies the means view.

[olegramps]

30. Its is ironic that they oppose the very methods that could help prevent it.

I can not possibly understand the dilemma that a women experiences when she finds that she is unintentionally pregnant. The people who are so damn sure they are right about everything should take out the time to read Twain's Letters from the Earth for a start.

[rainin]

15. When I listen to this, I just get speechless.

What do you even say to this? A pastor? Really? He said "I'm his friend, I'll never walk away." Is the reason this is unbelievable, is that what he's not saying is that trump is his idol? his role model? He admires how he f*cks everybody and gets away with it?

[lostnfound]

16. Christian Right Loves Donald Wrong... nt

[rurallib]

17. all they have ever wanted is POWER to impose their world view on everybody

They are all about POWER and POWER only - forget the religious shit - it has always been POWER they have been after.

[TwistOneUp]

19. Yes, and their worldview...

Their worldview is a small group of white men in charge, and all the wimmen and wealth they can find.

Then they get to fsck off all day, while everyone else (i.e., whomever else they allow to live) works for them at a wage guaranteed to keep themselves in economic slavery. That way, there's no one else on the economic "ladder" to challenge you for your "rung".

Cuz that's always the biggest threat to these peeps - the person on the rung below you. By controlling the type and number of workers, and their ability to reproduce and earn a wage, they control the world.

I'm *So Sure* this is what Jesus would want...

[louis c]

20. I'll settle for Trump going through the same gauntlet as Bill Clinton

(1). Trump should submit to the same sworn deposition, on tape, as Bill Clinton did.

(2). Trump should answer questions from the same Judiciary Committees that Bill Clinton did, as they prepared for the impeachment hearings.

(3). Every elected Congressman (and then Senator, if he's impeached) should have to go on record by voting on the Judiciary Committee's findings.

Every time a Trumpian uses the "what about" bullshit line, I say that all I want is for Trump to be treated just like Bill Clinton was and let's see where that lands him.

[Sophia4]

29. If you watch the appearances of Nunberg on TV last week, you will learn that

Republicans think they are being treated worse than Democrats are.

Not true.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were investigated almost from the moment Clinton took office and settled in the White House. They underwent almost eight years of investigations with short pauses at the most. It was terrible.

And the Republicans would have done the same thing with Obama if they could have found some excuse. Hillary was put on the stand about Benghazi and her e-mails for long sessions.

But the Republicans think they are the victims.

That view needs to be analyzed and set straight. This is not about victimizing Republicans. It is about getting honest government.

Don't we Americans have the right to honest government?

[radhika]

21. I use the term X-Fascist to refer to this bloc...

I refuse to allow this movement to hid under religious and benign terms. Won't say 'conservative Christians, 'values voters' or even faith-based community. That disguises their defacto role in American life.

21st century Evangelism (mostly the white variety, I admit) is a well-funded, militant force that seeks to dominate the greater society and impose its agenda. Nothing is off the table for them and their zealots are locked in.

[Hortensis]

23. Sadly, it does not negate their votes.

[n2doc]

24. They sold their soul

[C_U_L8R]

26. Christian Wrong

they are an embarrassment to their faith

[Sophia4]

27. I would like to recomment this post a million times.

What fools the preachers of the Christian Right are. What fools.

There does not seem to be a sincere one among them.

[Politicub]

28. They have sacrificed their future for meager gains under Trump

The bones he is throwing to them are mostly rhetoric.

They have no moral leg to stand on any more. So, I am happy to give them a hearty and hale "go fuck yourself" the next time they try to act better than everyone else.

[ffr]

32. Turnabout is fair play.

The sky is the limit when democrats regain control.
