Apparently its worse to have a rude President who saves babies than a polite President who butchers them
It isn’t that he is rude, although his habitual insulting of rivals alone is incompatible with modeling sanctity. I could live with rudeness, if that were the only problem.
No, the problem is that when I listen directly to what he says and tweets and compare it to the facts myself, he has been consistently speaking blatant falsehoods. This isn’t the media slanting or twisting what he says. I have verified it myself: He just makes stuff up. He does it consistently and he does it
brazenly.
Sometimes, when you have two unacceptable choices–and sorry, but an ingrained habit of wild misrepresentation of the facts
is unacceptable–you have to resign yourself to voting for a third choice that is acceptable, even if the candidate also has flaws and seems to have little or no choice of winning.
I understand that not everyone votes that way, and that it isn’t wrong to take the least-unacceptable candidate, but in his case I think the President’s consistent efforts to undermine the political process by spreading raging falsehoods is too much. What he says simply cannot be trusted to be true. How can we keep having that? We may get it, but I won’t vote for it. The Lord will permit us to choose a President who reflects what our nation is choosing to become, but our President cannot possibly be a candidate positively sent by the Almighty. It is impossible.
It breaks my heart that this President has been so strongly associated with the Christian vote, that so few of his supporters have taken him to task for his habitual lying and insulting, as if he is some savior this nation cannot afford to lose. No, he isn’t. We ought to have more faith than to settle for defending that. It is a mark against our integrity, it really is, and we won’t get rid of what this is doing to our reputation just because he’s voted out of office. We’ll be marked for the lack of integrity we tolerate.
He’s not the best thing since sliced bread, but he’s the best president I’ve seen in my lifetime.
I could believe the alternatives are the worst you’ve ever seen, but I can’t believe there is any convincing argument that this is really the best President we’ve had. (Heaven help us.)
Can you describe what virtues he has that overcome his brazen untruthfulness and habit of insulting his rivals? His relentless need for self-agrandizement? A child who acted like he does would deserve to be grounded.
