Evangelicals and fundamentalists--and Donald Trump

[Common Sense]

Such denial. I can hear the cognitive dissonance.

Sorry, but one example of a private email exchange that was actually quite mild, isn't much in the way of evidence.

...some people love playing the victim.

When it came to BLM and such you were quite happy to oblige.

The war on Christmas must be very tough on you.

An example of Clinton campaign and then Obama was given. We could give examples of you and other lefties constantly mocking Christians. But you will continue to deny.

Us lefties...we're the worst.

Well I am a fundamental and never thought Trump was a perfect person. We believe if you are married you shouldn't divorce and remarry if they are still alive. I have my own reasons for voting for him and if they think I would change my mind they don't know me. It was between a reprobate and a person that might not be. It's that simple, Hillary is reprobate.

An excellent point. You only had two major choices; the corrupt Hillary and the egotistical Trump. I chose third party knowing that it'd be either Hillary or Trump who would win.

I'm glad Trump beat Hillary, but do not condone his adultery nor his lies. I am neither a Evangelical nor a Fundamentalist nor do I condone Trump's current actions to lie about his past affairs and seek to condemn this women with lies and lawyers.

Bush the Younger and his administration held the religious right in contempt- privately.

Agreed. They were true conservatives like Barry Goldwater.

There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerfull ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus, God, or Allah, or whatever one calls the supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God’s name on one’s behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I’m frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in A,B,C, and D. Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of conservatism.

Sorry, had other things to do.

I admit it's an example. Although not exactly mockery and it was done in a private email. I just don't see any wide spread mockery. Criticism, sure. But a private email between aides isn't exactly what's been eluded to. It seems like a google search wasn't very fruitful.

Private email or not, we mocked Catholics took note.

Democrats forgive sin, republicans hide theirs.
