SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE’S BACKING OF “THE DONALD” A BLOW TO TED CRUZ’S CAMPAIGN
Eager to buttress his bona fides among social conservatives, GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump formally rolled out the endorsement of Jerry Falwell, Jr. this week.
Falwell – the eldest son of the famous Reverend Jerry Falwell – is chancellor of Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, a school which was established by his late father in 1971. Falwell has run the school since his father’s death in 2007 – turning it into the largest, private non-profit university in America.
“I see a lot of parallels between my father and Donald Trump,” Falwell said. “Like Mr. Trump, Dad would speak his mind … Dad explained that when he walked into the voting booth, he wasn’t electing a Sunday school teacher, or a pastor, or even a President who shared his theological beliefs. He was electing a President of the United States to lead a nation.”
Trump said he was “honored” to receive Falwell’s backing.
“Not only is he a high quality person, with a wonderful family, whom I have great respect for – I also consider him a very good friend and his support means so much to me,” Trump said.
Falwell’s endorsement is a shot across the bow of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas – who launched his 2016 presidential campaign with a speech at Liberty University.
Cruz and Trump are competing ferociously for the votes of social conservatives in Iowa – which holds its first-in-the-nation caucus on February 1 – and South Carolina, which holds its “First in the South” primary on February 20.

Praise God.Trump can’t lose with the old guard ‘Moral Majority’. I am thinking landslide with Trump getting 55% of the vote and winning 40 states.
Hi Flip. Nope, wins the nomination and Hillary carries all states but Alaska.
Agreed. Alaska is dumb enough to still vote Trump. I mean, they had Palin for governor.
Bernie will make a good President.First thing is to steal everybody’s wealth and shut wall street down so people like you and I that don’t work can get some ‘trickle down’. Bernie loves Russia and the communists so we can just surrender and avoid WW3.Be my friend and I wlll write Bernie and see if we can’t have a national holiday in honor of illegals.
Bernie loves America and already thinks America is great, he just wants to help make it greater.
Donald Trump doesn’t think America is great, very unpatriotic.
I thought the RW crazies thought this country was filled with godless heathens. So how is this going to help?
I am a godless heathen and support TRUMP!!
I love God, God loves all his children. Repent, immitator.
You crazy man.Even my gay bro’s like Trump.We bought look alike Trump hair pieces and glued em onto our blow up dolls pu$$y’s.
Trump is a slut
A lot of people don’t know this, but Bernie actually hung a Soviet Flag in office when he was mayor of Burlington. According to reporter Trevor Louden, Bernie hung the Soviet flag in his office to honor the Soviet sister city of Yaroslavl. You know, singing praises to the opposing side while you’re at war might seem treasonous to some, but if you’re a mayor of a major city, it’s perfectly acceptable and everyone will forget about it. No need to mention that the USSR was responsible for what some believe to be the biggest genocide in history. You’d be crazy to call Bernie a Communist. He only proudly hung their flag in his office.
At least he doesn’t rape his wives…

What possible reason could Bernie Sanders that scum have for having a pedophile work in his campaign now?

Why would you defend a fake, con-man conservative?
Oh yeah, you really want Hillary for pres.

Next time you do a cut and paste, how about making sure the link is valid.

The religious fundies have latched on to the troll candidate, kiss 2016 goodbye Republicans, you’ve lost it for good!
Sounds about right.
That Christians support a Christian for President?
That Christians support a false Christian for President.
That was 2008 and 2012.The Muslim ‘thingy’.
You mean Barack Hussein Obama?
Republicans want Obama for a third term? Who knew!
Will I have to give my Obama phone back if Trump wins?
Depends if Barry wants your poz. He might already have it though.

The son of a televangelist and a reality TV star. A match made in heaven.
Pretty good. The wife of a pedophile associating/rapist/womanizer and pedophile associating/communist is even better. A match made in Hell.

This entire election should be a zoo. Entertaining, if nothing else.
I weep for our country that so many people support him. I am thankful though that he is not actually the person he pretends to be, he is only doing this to assure a Democrat victory. Trump is a life long liberal, loyal to the cause. Unfortunately he is doing this for Hillary more than anything, but I’m still hoping for Sanders!
Let’s see an old cunt, a socialist Jew, or an alpha nationalist who gives zero fucks about your crocodile tears? Easy choice or soon you will be getting pushed off a rooftop faggot.
Those choices beat out Trump, and Trump is beating the other GOP choices, so you tell me bub. LMAO!!!
Just a tactical question – surely you don’t think hypothetical match-up polls in January are accurately predictive of an election in November?
Found the anti-semite.
You talk EXACTLY like ISIS.
Hate ISIS.Love LGBT.
an alpha nationalist – You mean the big mouth pussy who is scared of Megyn Kelly?
Trump can’t even handle a glicky microphone without melting down.
It will be hilarious watching him crash and burn during a real debate with a Democrat.
From honeymooning in one of the most evil nations in the history of mankind to praising the murderous lunatics Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega, it is obvious Bernie Sanders likes mass murdering dictators, while he dislikes entrepreneurs who create jobs and invent new technology to improve lives. Bernie would rather sing praises of a man who killed nearly 8,000 political enemies than say one good thing about an economic system that has lifted millions out of poverty. If you still don’t believe Bernie is as close to garbage as humanly possible, there is likely no amount of evidence that will change your opinion on him. The man is either malicious and would have no problem replicating the events of Castro’s Cuba, or ignorant of them and would do so without realizing it. Either way, he is not fit to be president of the United States.

We get it. You support Hillary….just like Trump.
Will Hillary be out on bail or will Trump be debating the communist Sanders?
Meltdown?! You ain’t seen a meltdown until you’ve watched a young Bill O’Reilly meltdown… https://youtu.be/2tJjNVVwRCY
I take offense to the big mouth pussy comment. I suck c^ck and have a big mouth.
So since you’re actually Flip Pogo having a melt down, you can fit 9-inch? He’s a good commenter.
Not me pal and my advice to you is to stay out of it.I have NO idea who is spoofing the deranged stalker today however he/she brought it on him/herself, in my opinion.
I am trying to stay away from this lunatic.
Peace out – Flip from State Farm!!!!
Have a good day Rocky.
What is he wearing? Nobody wants to know! LMAO!!!
Thanks,but I’m not into the rainbow types,unless they’re into slave/master role-play,and I’m the master…,he seems a little too needy;that Can be fixed…
I take offense to the cunt comment.I suck cock and am gay.
Only for GT. LMAO!!!
Degenerates shouldn’t take offense to anything but themselves
“I see a lot of parallels between my father and Donald Trump,”
lulz….just too easy.
Thanks for your comments however I would have thought a libertarian would be pleased that leaders of the Christian conservatives aren’t using faith and social issues as a litmus test for President?
“Liberty” University forces people to attend Republican rallies, doesn’t sound libertarian to me: http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/statements/2015/mar/25/jess-mcintosh/liberty-u-students-faced-fine-if-they-skipped-cruz/
Churches are the biggest socialist institutions in our country today.
At least most of them are “voluntary”. I really don’t have a problem with church people as long as they aren’t forcing people to do stuff. (though the act of voting is always forcing people to do stuff, but most don’t recognize it)
For now, but in a sermon last year at an Irving, Texas, megachurch Cruz’s father, Rafael Cruz, indicated that his son was among the evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” to take control of all sectors of society, and “bring the spoils of war to the priests”, thus helping to bring about a prophesied “great transfer of wealth”, from the “wicked” to righteous gentile believers.
Thanks to Hank for pointing this out on another article.

Crusades 2.0, damn. These people are deranged. As a Christian I am horrified.
Well, it’s at the rhetoric stage for now…so it’s important to keep that in perspective.
Thanks for the link.
Rail against churches all you like (I do that occasionally myself), but let’s get the lexicon correct. Churches cannot, by definition, be “socialist.” Socialism is predicated upon who controls the means of production within an economy or market system. Nothing to do with churches…
True, unless Rafael Cruz has his way. For most of Western European history the State and the Church were one and the same. Apparently the Cruz family thinks it should be that way again.
Unicorns and rainbows…can’t happen (unless we have another revolution and pick up a revised Constitution without that pesky First Amendment hanging around.
It depends on what type of ‘libertarian’ you are referring to.
I’m the extreme type, so I have no “favorite”- I see everyone running as not good enough to control my life, which they all want to do to some extent.
“In 1961, [America] invaded Cuba, and everybody was totally convinced that Castro was the worst guy in the world. All the Cuban people were going to rise up in rebellion against Fidel Castro. They forgot that he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed society. You know, not to say Fidel Castro and Cuba are perfect – they are certainly not – but just because Ronald Reagan dislikes these people does not mean to say the people in these nations feel the same.”
Sure, Bernie, lets just ignore all the people who loved Castro so much that they swam away on makeshift rafts and boats to escape him. Let’s just ignore the 50,000 people who fled Castro’s regime in the first year. They must have really enjoyed it there.

Dude – they went to Miami!!! Everyone goes to Miami!!!!! That’s not escaping Castro – that’s going to see Tia Maria.
Buzzfeed wrote an article on Donald Trump Jr’s most interesting tweets. Jr is now on a delete frenzy trying to get rid of them.
The pro-life crowd say NO TRUMP.
The 10 leaders, including Jenifer Bowen, executive director of Iowa Right to Life, and Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony List, wrote a letter to Iowa voters ahead of Monday’s caucuses, warning against Donald Trump, one of the leading candidates.
“On the issue of defending unborn children and protecting women from the violence of abortion, Mr. Trump cannot be trusted and there is, thankfully, an abundance of alternative candidates with proven records of pro-life leadership whom pro-life voters can support,” the letter states. “We have come to this conclusion after having listened patiently to numerous debates and news reports, but most importantly to Donald Trump’s own words.”
WHY ….. am I seeing/hearing the movie “The Music Man” going ’round and ’round in my head?
AZ Sheriff Joe is endorsing Trump – if anyone gives a hoot. Trump calls it a “powerful” endorsement, LOL.
Falwell looked like he wanted to vomit when he gave Trump that endorsement, like he suddenly became aware of his hypocrisy.
No.That is a lie.He is proud to support Mr.Trump.
