I would love to see Ted Cruz as a Supreme Court justice. |

SCOTUS, AG, all sound great. Hate to lose him as a senator. |

Ted could do so much more as AG being able to initiate action in defense of Liberty and against those oppressing it. On SCOTUS, we just need another principled judge like Scalia. Cruz is too much of a get the job done and never relent player to sideline on a judicial seat. Would hate to see him gone from the Senate too. |

Ok, Ted for AG... then the Court. That would give him time to get some corruption stopped and "blood" him in the system even more than he already is. The transition to the Court is a Natural. |

There are two people here who's sanctimonious attitudes remind me very much of one named Pontius Pilate washing his hands and declaring himself innocent of wrong doing. G |

Greg, No idea who you're intending to insult, but why the personal attack Greg? Seriously? Interrupting a polite discussion to hurl insult? What the heck? Got any thoughts you want to share about Donald Trump? (Message edited by Blake on May 18, 2016) |

I have to ask... who those two people might be? I just checked, and I don't have thirty pieces of silver. |

Yes, please be adult enough to identify the target of your criticisms. If those being criticized can't deal with it, then so be it. I'm guessing they will be just fine though. |

Blake, Your post is lacking in logic. You first say you have no idea who I am intending to insult. (I was merely stating what I was reminded of.) You then declare it to be a "personal attack". (Me thinks thou dost use that phrase too often. Perhaps it is a sign of pomposity). A personal attack would require that a person or persons be specified. However, if the shoe fits... G |

Oh and, I think Donald Trump is a pompous ass but an infinitely better choice than Hillary. Do you disagree? G |

I agree that Trump is a pompous ass, no doubt about it. Better choice than Hillary? That's a subject for debate. Attacks can certainly be personal without being specific to the intended target. To allude to someone being akin to Jesus' executioner (yes I know he did not commit the act, merely gave the order) without further specification is barely a step above cowardly in my estimation. |

Infinitely may be an exaggeration. Other than that I agree and do so argue. And I think he's quite a jerk. The biggest! Hasn't told his loyal followers he plans to take my property at gunpoint unconstitutionally. Hillary has. Not really worried about the Donald arresting me for questioning bad science. Hillary will. And at least one of Trump's Supreme court choices publicly posted scads of Trump jokes. Picking a good judge that isn't a loyal minion is an unknown concept for Hillary or Obama. |

>>>>That's a subject for debate. Unfortunately We should be ashamed of the people we call "leaders". It's now entering the phase where we will be debating "what is rape?" and "who has raped the most?" I wouldn't hire ANY of the candidates . . . . nor would any well run business. It starts with simple manners and works it way toward character. |

Trump is a maniac and will almost assuredly make a bad president but what is your other choice? Someone who should be in jail... If anyone out there has a clearance they should know exactly how fast that thing would get pulled and how quickly they would find themselves in a jumpsuit had they done half the shit Hillary did. The fact that she is still on the streets and people are still thinking of voting for her speaks volumes about the state of the country. |

the state of the country Matthew 6:19-21King James Version (KJV) 19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. |

Thanks Matt for clearing up Greg's confusion. And thanks for sharing the timeless truth. I contemplate that particular teaching a LOT lately. |

Have a beer Greg. No need to compensate or justify oneself here. You're among compatriots. Infinitely? Not so much. I'm beginning to be swayed though. Saw a video of Trump talking about his faith and the whole issue about forgiveness that was being played up by the media. I was misled. By the media. Imagine that. |

Not much into beer and 12 hour workday/nights pretty much preclude any kind of drinking. Glad to hear you may have a change of heart. G |

I wasn't convinced that Trump could be racist until I just saw that picture of him associating with known racists and raPists... Don King and Al Sharpton. Pretty sure Fitty is a good guy. Not sure off hand who the other two gentlemen are. |

That's a logical fallacy. A republican voter not voting for Trump is a half vote for Hillary. That same voter "not voting for Hillary" is still a half a vote for Hillary, since they didn't vote for Trump either. |

At least we're past the logical fallacy of not voting for Trump is a vote for Hillary. Now we're down to half a vote. To extend your logic though, it would also be a half vote for Trump. |

I get the half vote thing conceptually, but I can't explain it very well. Read up on it. |

C'mon, this is not a symmetric argument. Republican wildcatters are threatening to run a third candidate who will siphon off Trump, but not Hillary voters. The margin could be enough for Hillary to win. The Demos are not threatening a third candidate. Did Romney half-lose in 2012 because the Evangelicals sat on their keisters? You, betcha. Obama was the easiest candidate in the world to beat but stoneheads prevailed because they refused to vote for Romney. In 2016, a vote not cast for Trump is a vote for Hillary. It is that close because so many people look the other way for Hillary's crimes. |

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. |
