The chief danger that confronts the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost,
Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration,
politics without God, heaven without hell.
William Booth
“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.”
― William Saroyan
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. -- Winston Churchill
Ignorance is not an opinion, liberals
I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C. S. Lewis
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

I noticed something yesterday….
Lots of GOP voters who were going to go with Marco Rubio are now pulling away from him. The small-hands line Rubio started spouting has done him damage, IMO.
Also, word has gotten out that Mitch McConnell said that the GOP has plans to throw the election to Hillary “to stop Donald Trump”.
It seems to me that a lot of GOP voters are fed up to their eyeteeth with the leadership of the GOP.

A GOP that supports Trump is a GOP I don’t need.
All the crossover dems supporting Trump is a pollution of the party.
Talk about RINO.
But “throwing the election to Hillary” sounds ridiculous.

The last paragraph from Erick Erickson’s Time to Prepare the Exit Strategy:
If Trump wins the GOP nomination, Hillary Clinton is going to win the Presidency. But the GOP still has the potential to build a firewall of support for Republicans nationwide through a third party. Planning needs to get underway immediately and the GOP needs to release that they waited too late on Trump, they should not wait so long that they cannot save themselves.
Please read the essay in its entirety.

If Trump really is inevitable, and ‘wins’ the nomination, my blogging topics will probably change from politics to “the best way to amass cans for the coming Trumpocalypse”. I don’t know if Hillary wins if Trump is her opponent or not. I don’t think I would much care either way. I’d be willing to entertain a third party run, provided it wasn’t an establishment guy. A third party candidate would not stand a chance, but if was someone I could proudly vote FOR, I would line up to do so. Maybe the birth of a successful conservative third party in 2016 would bear fruit in 30 years or so and give our children and grandchildren a way out from what is sure to be an ugly collapse.

Yes, I was more a Rubio fan until the small hands comment; it showed something so ugly in his personality that he’s probably lost me. Unless he’s the contender finally; I will vote for a ham sandwich versus hillary.
Erickson’s wrong; no time for a Third Party…and not enough support for Trump. Period.

I think we all want to go live in the woods …. I LITERALLY change the channel the second I see Trump talking…it’s so disheartening it’s doing me in a little.
It’s not even so much HIM but it’s now considered the NORM somehow, and that two otherwise good people who I might not have agreed with on everything but thought they were good men, Cruz and Rubio, have sunken to almost the same AWFUL level of vulgarity and cheating.
Yes, FB, it’s QUITE a show on both sides, but the Republicans have sunken to a level I never thought possible in America. We’ve seen nutty Japanese senators wrestling on the floor, we’ve seen other ridiculous exposees, but we haven’t seen a TRUMP say the kinds of things he does and survive. Very sad.
JUST IMAGINE, EVERYBODY: If Trump talked about what he talks about CHINA, MEXICO, FREE TRADE, A GOOD WALL, IMMIGRATION CHECKS, JOBS COMING BACK, etc etc., and did it with POWER and CIVILITY and KINDNESS ….REALLY ramming home what we need to BRING BACK AMERICA …and leaving out the vulgarities.
A personality like his COULD and WOULD be listened to without the HORRID blowhard incivility…

You know, after all that’s said and done, if Trump succeeds in his quest, he may just surprise us by actually becoming presidential and do all the things exactly like he said he would. Reagan surprised everyone after he became Gov. of Calif. then Pres. of the U.S. And if he did, it could start another dynasty, like the Kennedy’s and the Bushes because he has two sons and a daughter who could follow suit……………. if he was successful.

If Trump would talk normally, he would’ve not been heard. He understood how to get the media talk about him and not the rest. Totally manipulated them. And he’s leveraging how pissed we are with the GOP (so pissed I registered as independent.) It’s just the end of the GOP. It already was moving left anyway, like the rest of the country. Reminds me a bit of French conservative parties that had to move to the left, or at least be more statist, to be palatable in the 80s.
