"Look man....you publicly call my wife a whore and accuse my dad of murder, and getting my endorsement will be the least of your worries."

No offense meant, but I see it as two separate issues.

(First issue) Breaking your word doesn't make you a pu**y but it does make you a liar.

(2nd issue ) Cruz would have confronted him on his false accusations during his speech, publicly forgive him, and move on for the cause of unity in this war for Americas survival. There are far bigger stakes here than personal insults. Cruz is a Christian. What ever happened to turn the other cheek? What ever happened to forgive or you will not be forgiven? I not know of one politician that hasn't suffered lies, insults and propaganda from their opponent. It is more honorable to be the bigger man than to break your word.

We just see it different ways and I doubt that I would change opinion any more than you would change my opinion. But we have the right to disagree, and not harbor hard feelings, don't we?

But we have the right to disagree, and not harbor hard feelings, don't we?

yes, we do.

Looks like we'll have to until you get right in the head. Any person that insults me is forgiven because I don't hold grudges anyway. But my wife and dad? Oh, them's fighting words!!!

Christians dont think that way do they Ted? LOL hold out your cheek while I give it a good slap and then turn the other too..LOL

bernie was ripped royally by the DNC, and I am sure we will find out that hillary was in on it. What did bernie do? Rather that even taking a chance on losing the fight he endorsed hillary and pleaded with his followers to support her. He put country above his pride even knowing what they did him. All that work, all that campaigning, all the wasted money, all the hopes of those who supported him, all against a stacked deck, for what? Yet he encouraged his loyal voters to vote for hillary.

And teds pride could cost some voters that might get our country back if it is a really close race. Unforgiveness, pride, and self importance brought him to a point of not caring if his people will vote for trump if push comes to shove. That's pretty selfish. "Vote your conscience" is a cop out. He could just as easily said I won't vote for him because of the personal accusations he made against my family, but I encourage you to vote for him.for the sake of our country. What if his pride costs conservatives the election? He is thinking of himself, not the voters, and certainly not the country through holding a grudge that is causing division within the voting ranks. He should go take humility lessons from berney.

Screwed up world it is when a Communist sets a better example than a Christian conservative.

We shoot 'em in Texas.....then forgive them and ask God for forgiveness.


It's just easier to keep the peace that way.

I say it's a screwed up world when you start siding with the Communist, and expect Texans to be pushovers who sell out to the highest bidder.

Trump was right when he said he doesn't need Cruz, so Cruz doesn't need to sell his soul to "the establishment"


It will be better for both of them like this.

Cruz is not a rock star. Correct as he is standing up for American values, he would just be fair game, and unable to stand up against the clinton machine.

Let's be clear on this, Trump is an unproven politician. The clintons are totally proven. This is going to get so nasty that the weak will give up.

People are so brain dead that maybe we should all start praying or learning how to bend over and kiss our butts goodbye.

19 trillion in debt.
Healthcare is a mess.
This crazy need for immigration reform of a system that has worked fine since the 1800s.
Vets being left to die after putting their butts on the line.
Ambassadors being executed.
Big business fleeing unrealistic taxes.
Supreme court justices engaging in political endorsement.
I could go on for days... All I see are so many brain dead people that they are becoming a good argument against democracy.

In the middle of this I see one candidate that has no reason to put his butt on the line, and one that has too, because it is all she can do.

So who should it be? Elvis or Lady gaga?

"Looks like we'll have to until you get right in the head."

It didn't take long for you to start with the personal insults did it?

"I say it's a screwed up world when you start siding with the Communist, and expect Texans to be pushovers who sell out to the highest bidder."

I did not and do not side with sanders, so don't rush to judgment. I simply stated that he did the right thing in attempting to preserve party unity. That's more than I can say for cruz.

Do you remember John 26 - 30? Where Jesus was walking down the road and men and women yelled all manner of filthy things about his mother and father? And when he heard what they said about his mother he kicked every ass in a 4 block area?

We do know that men said that very same crap to Jesus, don't you? It is written that "he was tempted in EVERY RESPECT as we are." In that I am sure he was also tempted to fight over words, but he considered the source instead and moved on with his mission.

I know that slanderous statements do not come from the minds of man, they are words that the accuser puts into their minds and mouths to bring division. You see a lot of that on the Internet, Satan is tech savvy. The pawns think slander is a good idea at the time and they run with it. The Devil used the very same accusations back then to Christ, for he has used the same words and tactics from the beginning to cause division..Cruz fell for it because Texans are no smarter than anyone else.

But these are the teachings of God that Christians should uphold. " For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Heb 4:15) Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord." (Rom 12:19) But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins. (Mat 6:15)" "Be angry, yet do not sin." Do not let the sun go down on your wrath, and do not give the devil an opportunity to work. (Eph 4:26)


And those are just a very few of the very good reasons cruz should have to "turn the other cheek" and move on in unity for the sake of the country. I doubt that I am the one who needs to get "right in the head". The principles that I mention are the principles commanded by Christ. Being a Texan doesn't give anyone special privileges especially when they are gullible enough to fall for the oldest tricks in the world. Vengeance does not belong to Texans any more than it belongs to anyone else.

OK, most of that was bluster but evidently you didn't get the joke.

But I'd like to point out that Jesus never sold his soul to the devil, though He was shown how it would bring an economic benefit.

when Jesus went up high on the mountain, and the devil chatted with him, offering all the wealth and pomp of this world, Jesus knew it is temporal here on this earth, and why would you give up your soul for a fleeting "ILLUSION" we endure here on earth?

I have never figured out the purpose of being..why?.. why is it so unfair? ,..why does god have certain souls birthed with silver spoons in their mouths and others birthed only to be tortured in their developing years? why ? why?

Sin.

We're all drinking water from the same lake. Though your side might be cleaner than my side most of the time, whatever is in that lake will reach both of us eventually.

I think God allows us to deal the consequences of sin (ours and others) because without challenges, people do not grow.

Dayne... UNFAIR starts the second another man tells them what to do.
Yod is right... TRUMP may just accelerate the need for civil war and killing. hilarious will do just the same.

Why did you drag this off into a hypothetical discussion about God?
Don't matter.
End game... You live or you die.

maybe Trump is instilling the fear of God into people's lives..I don't know I just heard a famous New Yorker named Bloomberg say some nasty things about a fellow New Yorker( Trump) he sounds like he has first-hand knowledge of the way Trump screws contractors.. should never listen to here-say, but if Trump likes Russia because of future business dealings he could make, he should just say so..

bloomberg is a hypocrite. Just like charlie rangel he wants to violate all yours and mine 2nd amendment rights. bloomberg does this while he is surrounded by armed body guards (not the police) and charlie rangel has the balls to say guns are for politicians NOT CITIZENS.
C'mon.

I can't believe how quickly you fall into this B.S. Both YOD and BADSTRAT are fighting for the same thing, just in a different way. I love 'em both, even you. Big disagreement though... My God is love. NEVER FEAR. Should I underline that? NEVER FEAR!!!!!

Think about that....
