Bush’s reelection campaign in 2004 and ran John McCain’s campaign in 2008". <br /><br />The last implication for it behaviorally is it exposes at such a massive scale and at such magnitude the hypocrisy of the Tony Perkinses and the Jerry Falwell Jrs. and the Pat Robertsons. These people are literally the modern-day Pharisees, they are the money changers in the temple, and they will forever be destroyed from a credibility perspective. <br /><br />There are millions of decent, faithful, committed evangelicals in this country who have every right to participate in the political process.

Their selective piety is not teachable. Take solace in one of the small acts of courage breaking out in recent days: a group of students at Liberty University telling their Trump-supporting president, Jerry Falwell Jr., to practice what the school preaches.<br /><br />Trump is “actively promoting the very things that we Christians ought to oppose,” the students wrote. These young people, at least, are smart enough to see what Trump is doing to their world.<br />http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/14/opinion/burning-down-the-house.html?emc=edit_th_20161014&nl=todaysheadlines&nlid=55545204&_r=0<br />Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044826704035279962.post-59280201012152606922016-10-14T02:48:12.522-04:002016-10-14T02:48:12.522-04:00Thoughtful indeed,thanks for posting this.
