For example, Menage, she said that if Cruz endorsed Trump, he would be breaking the commandment to “honor your father and your mother”. Her exact words:
The way I see it, Ted Cruz had a very difficult choice to make in whether or not to endorse Trump. If he fulfilled his pledge to endorse Trump, he would break the 5th commandment “Honor your father and your mother ..and the command of 1Peter 3:7 to give honor to his wife. I rejoice that he was able to make the decision to not support a man who is without honor and who has admitted and gloried in breaking at least Commandments 1-4 and 7-10. Even at great cost to himself and his possible future, Ted Cruz was able to do the right thing..I will continue to proudly support him. You have no idea what you will get with a Trump presidency. Don’t drink the Kool-aid.

Aside from the fact that the bible quoter is using a faulty premise for Cruz to honor two verses from the bible, she is also making the fatal (yet convenient to her cause) mistake that each verse in the bible stands alone as if in a vacuum.
So
1) The first premise of her argument is of no consequence because Trump did not dishonor Rafael or Heidi and even if he did that does not disqualify him from Ted’s christian forgiveness and discernment Christ requires of all who think they or their loved ones have been wronged.
2) The second premise of her argument is disqualified because Cruz is called through scripture to not accept the vain glory set upon his head by his father Rafael or the ill gotten money acquired for him through Heidi’s Goldman Sachs connections.
Matthew 10:34-36New International Version (NIV) 34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
When we twist and bend scripture for our own benefit, when we ignore the body of scripture to change the meaning of certain verses, we are no different than the Pharisees and make the bible a book of convince and a tool of manipulation.

What about the eighth commandment? He broke it when he willingly pledged to support the candidate. He broke it all through the campaign, but especially in what he did to Carson. Apparently in her religion commandments are to be selectively obeyed.
One thing is clear as a bell to me from this election. Ted Cruz is a lot of bad things, to my book being a liar one of the worst. He exposed himself more clearly than a playboy model. So also have many Christians who twist words, even Biblical passages to support what they want to believe rather than face the truth. I question the foundation their faith rests on and the quality of their own examination of conscience in the matter of pride.
When you are wrong in an action or belief the only just and dignified course of action is to acknowledge your failure of action or judgement, repent if it resulted in sin, ask forgiveness and make restitution, and amend your life going forward with firm resolve.
Clearly many of these Christian Cruz supporters got way out of line in defending him. Now their pride won’t let them see clearly.
Further, any action that action that aids a Hillary victory in my book violates the 5th commandment, Thou shall not kill, for surely she will aid abortion in in way she can while president.

There’s enough written in the Bible that you can take out a part and twist and turn it to fit almost anything you want. I was so exposed to this during the years I moved around from one denomination to another, then later got to see the TBN crowd in operation, the self-anointed apostles and prophets, the Word-Faith group. It’s really unbelievable.
How and why God puts up with us and our ignorant ways and abuse of His Word is beyond my human understanding. I get very uncomfortable when anyone starts claiming God is the One behind their particular political candidate. I don’t care who the candidate is. Politics is a worldly thing, and we should be very careful trying to use God that way. It’s totally disrespectful of our Creator imo. We do not understand His ways, and I cringe for those who show such arrogance and lack of humility. If we’re going to claim God is actually choosing political candidates, then how do we explain Obama? God is allowing us to be chastised? God is allowing our country to go down the drain?
Just because someone accepts God and is a Christian doesn’t necessarily mean they have let go of all their human ego and self-will. A Christian has to surrender to God and let Him work in their life, changing them to be what He wants them to be. That’s usually a fairly long, humbling process and many Christians don’t even understand this, much less let God have the control to do it. So this is what we get – way too many people who think they speak with the voice of God.

My relative (on Facebook) parrots Red State, National Review etc. Last night she posted the video about Trump breaking the “pledge”, to prove that Cruz was no longer bound. I posted a picture of the pledge, and pointed out that Cruz made it with the RNC, not Trump, so he is still bound by the pledge that he signed – to endorse the RNC nominee, and not to seek write-in, independent, or other party support for President.
Instead of discussing it, she DELETED my comment! Three times. I asked her what she was afraid of, and she said that if I persisted in posting that comment, she would block me, and that she didn’t have time to deal with it. Then she said that “nobody is afraid of you”.
My comment was both truthful, and non-confrontational (other than the truth part). She doesn’t want to see the truth, and she doesn’t want any of her other friends to see it either.

Well, imo, your last sentence says it all. I’ve found that most people in my family and outside my family are more or less like what you said. At some point I think you have to stop and ask yourself if it’s doing any good. Remember, most people couldn’t accept what Jesus said either and He IS Truth. I’ve gone through this with my own son, daughter and step-daughter. I finally stopped trying to talk to them about these things, and now I just pray for them and others of my family and friends. After experimenting with how to pray for them, I now just ask God, since He knows exactly who they are inside and exactly what they need, to do whatever is necessary to bring them into His Light, His Truth and salvation. I used to spend a lot of time worrying about them and fretting over their situations, especially my own children! I’ve found that this way now is the only thing that can give me peace about them. They’re just not going to listen to me, and I accept that. It wasn’t easy for me to work my way to this point. I didn’t just give up out of indifference or laziness. In the end, it was just the only answer I could find.

Sigh. Conservative was a derogatory label invented by the socialists. That is part of the problem. The definition is whatever people interpret it to be. People self-identify as conservatives because their parents were, or a myriad other reasons, without understanding what it is that people want to protect, save, or restore. I think about 60% of the people that identify as conservative grew up as progressives and have never thought about how things were before they were born.
I don’t think they lost their minds. I believe this situation is just making people think for the first time.

So we now have the sub-group labels of which kind of conservative one is. It’s just a word and I have grown tired of it, personally, since it can mean so many different things. I don’t exactly feel comfortable calling myself a Nationalist either. I’m giving up on labeling myself politically. I know we’ve got this system and the way it’s theoretically supposed to work. But it doesn’t work very well, actually. It’s mostly a rotten mess.

A lot of people in business today are not people that would be able to run a business 30 years ago. Here in Seattle people spend more time running around trying to get investors than make money from selling a product or service. People have moved physical production of goods offshore decades ago. Other countries undercut the prices for manufacturing those goods for decades as well. Each time the country could no longer maintain that level of price manipulation, we moved our manufacturing to another country.
First it was Canada, then Mexico, then our manufacturing has bounced around in Asia. It’s moving again currently, but the market hasn’t settled on a country yet.
Trump forcing everything back in country will bankrupt everyone overnight that chose the progressive path. Other countries that relied on the stupid American’s money will be devastated by the withdrawal of it’s biggest customer. Cheap products will be a thing of the past. That $700 luxury business button down shirt from Italy will be the average price of a shirt made here for a couple of years until mass production can be restored.

I am reminded of the Wanda Gag children’s book, “Millions of Cats.”
Life is about choices.
Simply substitute “Which one of you is the biggest Trump fan?
“Which one of you is the prettiest?”
“Iam!” “Iam!” “No. Iam!”
“No, I am the prettiest!” “I am!”
“No, I am! I am! I am!” cried the hundreds and thousands
and millions and billions and trillions of voices, for each cat thought itself the prettiest.
And they began to quarrel.
They bit and scratched and clawed each other and
made such a great noise that the very old man and
the very old woman ran into the house as fast as
they could. They did not like such quarreling.
But after a while the noise stopped and the very old
man and the very old woman peeped out of the
window to see what had happened.
They could not see a single cat!
“I think they must have eaten each other all up,’
said the very old woman.
“It’s too bad!”

The stuff about Cruz is just the facts, he started the attacks on wives then tries to act like his wife was attacked. Personally, I think what was said and implied about Melanie was much worse than tweeting an unflattering pic of his wife.
His father pretending he’s God and questioning a man’s heart was also wrong. If adult family members want to get into the mud of politics instead of just saying things about their own family member then imho they open themselves up to be part of the dirty game of politics.

These people crack me up.

So all of these idiots who will sleep with a chicken crapping in their bed, and you know there will be idiots who do it, will still get bit if a mosquito makes it’s way into their bedroom.
Just because they may not like to taste the blood of a chicken does not mean they won’t taste your blood. Maybe it would work if you rubbed chicken blood all over you.

Alphabet Soup Corruption
by Victor Davis Hanson
Thursday, July 21, 2016
What do all these scandal and embarrassments have in common? Aside from the fact that many appointees were selected based on their progressive bona fides and that they saw their missions to promote liberal causes, sometimes even at the cost of overriding their own agencies’ mandates, there was a widespread sense that the law simply did not apply to them. The President set the tone with a series of executive orders that overrode federal immigration law. He arbitrarily suspended some elements of the Affordable Care Act for fear that they would prove unpopular in the months before the 2012 election, and has bypassed congressional oversight and jurisdiction, whether by sidestepping the Senate’s ratification of treaties with the Iran deal or allowing the EPA to create new laws regulating coal plants and water standards that were never ratified by Congress.
The ensuing message was that social awareness, fairness, and egalitarianism trumped the rule of law. And the result was that an IRS director, a Secretary of State, an Attorney General, and a Department of Homeland Security Director were assessed not by whether they executed the law but by whether they promoted a progressive agenda.
The Obama administration in this regard was largely successful in warning conservatives that the government was not neutral, but now a force for social justice, led by a “pen and phone” president who was quite willing to reward friends and punish enemies, without much worries over the legal niceties involved. Given a largely obsequious media, it will take years to assess the full legacy of the Obama administration. But, eventually, historians will find that it marked one of the more politically driven, corrupt, and unconstitutional eras in the history of American governance.

Washington, D.C. (July 22, 2016) — The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement in response to Hillary Clinton’s selection of Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia as her vice presidential candidate:
“After leading President Obama’s disastrous foreign policy in the Middle East, Hillary Clinton’s selection of Senator Kaine as her running mate further proves she cannot be trusted to keep our country safe,” said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks. “Whether it’s his vote for the Iran deal, which paves the way to a nuclear-armed Iran, or his proud support of the progressive anti-Israel J Street agenda which earned him their enthusiastic endorsement, Senator Kaine has shown how out of touch he is on the dangers facing our country. A Clinton-Kaine White House would continue the same failed policies that have made the U.S. and our allies around the world less safe.”

As a Virginian, I’ve seen this up close.
When Tim Kaine campaigned for Governor, he promised not to raise taxes. But then set a new land speed record in promise-breaking by proposing to raise taxes just six days after he was sworn in!
During his time in the Senate, Tim Kaine has been a liberal’s liberal.
In fact, he currently has a 0% Liberty Score from Conservative Review. That’s right, ZERO. He has voted wrong on every one of the key votes in the past three and a half years!
This includes votes to pass amnesty, raise the debt limit, create new gun control laws, and to fund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood.
We can’t afford to have this man as Vice President. His selection is another reason why I’m going to vote for the Trump-Pence ticket.
So please don’t let the liberal media fool you when they try to portray Tim Kaine as a centrist Democrat or as someone who is competent. He’s a hard-core liberal who has accomplished very little in his career.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California Gov. Jerry Brown denied parole Friday for Leslie Van Houten, the youngest follower of murderous cult leader Charles Manson who is serving a life sentence for killing a wealthy grocer and his wife more than 40 years ago.
Brown overturned a parole board’s recommendation in April that she be freed, saying Van Houten failed to explain how she transformed from an upstanding teen to a killer.
“Both her role in these extraordinarily brutal crimes and her inability to explain her willing participation in such horrific violence cannot be overlooked and lead me to believe she remains an unacceptable risk to society of released,” Brown wrote.

Donald Trump: A Working Stiff in a Brioni Suit
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2016/07/donald_trump_a_working_stiff_in_a_brioni_suit.html
Granted, no one thought the people’s liberator would show up in a private jet and then switch to his personal limo, but that’s our guy. And if you’d told me any time before June 2015 that I’d support a guy who’s been working the system for most of his career, funding the very leeches who are kneecapping the American people, I’d have called you crazy.
Yet here I am, all in for the Donald. Not because of his very public confession at the outset of his campaign that he himself is a no-good, corrupt, establishment type – that was not exactly an endearing admission. Nor was it his sincere, heartfelt contrition, because I’m pretty sure that never happened.
So why? Why, oh why are we letting this political neophyte with no government experience and a shady background hijack the American political process? The answer: he’s one of us, a working stiff living in the real world of everyday.
Okay, technically, Trump’s not a working stiff. He’s hardly in a dead-end job living paycheck to paycheck. But despite his billions, Trump shows up to work every day and puts in eight to twelve hours. He personally oversees his projects, walks job sites, and sacrifices personal and family time to meet deadlines and make payrolls.
