Better tame down the language or you'll find yourself banned,just friendly advice.The problem is that the US was founded on Christian principles and as a Republic which means laws are set not on popular opinion but on what is right based on Judeo/Christian values.Liberal left has pulled the country into the gutter.The gov't is "we the people" not "we the politicians".But the people set down and let the gov't take over and now there is corruption everywhere.I disagree that it cant be changed.People like Huckabee,who were pastors,want to bring the country back to the middle again.I think Cruz feels the same way.People need to vote for what they want not sit by and let 3% of the population run the country.People are so bred to be PC these days that we are swallowing whole camels while straining at gnats.People need to wake up we can change this country and come back to God again.

Great advice. Too bad it comes from a guy who just four lines before managed to insert a classic seven-letter epithet into his post.
Also, does it occur to you that Paul states unequivocally that God placed government authority over us? That being the case, doesn't it behoove us to pay attention to what kind of government we elect? Just sayin' ...

Lol how many times must I insist I am not a conservative or liberal, GOPer or Democrat, but am thoroughly outside that paradigm.
In know how you're a pretty stock GOPer and thus are accounted for all ready. You will vote for the GOP nominee no matter who it is in order to beat Hillary, except maybe Trump. Lol that's okay though for here we have common cause, for unfortunately one fifth of your GOP party seems to have gone and made Trump frontrunner (that Konservative Kool-Aid!) If Trump were to be nominee, indeed I as independent king and you as a Knight of the Old Republic would both effectively lose our control of the Republican Party, which is half of our government. This is GOPocalypse for you if Trump wins because it'll tear the party apart. Plus on top of that then you got Hillary.
As for the GOP's inaction on abortion. I give them some leeway for Obama being President, but that is no excuse, because it wasn't just yesterday that I noticed their trend of talking big on abortion and doing little. They had a good chance in the 2000s I remember. GOP has had several chances since a certain generation that existed before mine decided to give us that problem. It's a big topic for them to talk about and score political points with the base in the primary season, but after the show nothing happens. I've seen this song and dance too many times before to really buy into it.

Biblical morality???
We are talking LIFE. Gen 8 makes clear the duty of all human government. Abortion is national suicide...period.
Perhaps we don't have the $$$ because we run contrary to the Owners manual in the very basic fundamentals.
God's common grace is practically gone for this country , so now we are to make twice as many bricks with half the straw...is that how it works?

You're absolutely right, but note that you cited a biblical passage to support your point.
That was my point exactly, Cross. As a whole, humanity has run afoul of God, pays Him no heed, cares nothing for His judgment -- at least, they won't until He delivers it.
That's the way a fallen world works, isn't it? Who is the God of this world, Cross? Remember? We're not citizens here, but sojourners from another, better country. Our Leader has already conquered but the world has not capitulated. Until then, it remains fallen.

Yea I agree but then by the law of America, and as Vili made a point of, we have to follow their laws until America ceases to exist. Abortion battle can't be won by government means. Frankly the government has pretty much made the abortion issue worse the more in intervenes. This issue has to be stopped at the more individual level. If you look too the more non-governmental ways to tackle this issue they are even more effective. Consider those videos exposing the depths of the corruption of PP and how they are more effective than years of politicians pandering.
This doesn't surprise me. Walker is spending $400 million dollars of tax payer money on a stadium to help repay some of his financial backers. And this from a guy who was supposed to be such a great fiscal conservative. This is the type of slimy crony politics that is turning people away from establishment politicians. It's why people like Trump and Carson are popular.

Donald Trump isn't some hermit from the deep forest, he's a billionaire businessman. A successful person, who has a solid and honest history.
I'm not deterred by Donald Trump's blusterous attitude, as we are only seeing one side of him. As a successful businessman, he should naturally have a sense of diplomacy. He wouldn't have scored deals with a variety of international companies and whatnot otherwise.
Trump's blusterous attitude reveals his ingrained zeal for American success. It doesn't necessarily reveal a high and mighty mindset. In these current times, things need to get done. Modesty and meekness, although valuable, is not entirely appropriate for the current times.
That's not say that Mr.Trump lacks modesty and meekness. It's just those two attributes are untimely in Trump's current profession and aimed profession.

I agree with some of this, except that we need someone like that as our President. Trump is good in his current position, but it's not good for the position he wants. Too much risk on that one. So Trump should just go back to doing what he is good at. I think it even be better for Trump himself. Businessmen and people like this are real strong-willed and independent. Being president forces a person to be in a box in many ways.
