So does the liberal AARP. Are you swayed by the wisdom that comes from their life experence when they promote liberal ideas? Good point! Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

That's a sampling of opinion from conservatives who are conservative enough to join a conservative association that only exists to lobby for conservative interests. That they are also very old probably isn't the major factor in their support for a conservative policy. And, they are your elders, could be your parents. Well, not yours because you do not live here. They have experience in life which produces wisdom. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Here is a sampling of opinion from my generation by the Association of Mature American Citizens, see attached. AMAC is the conservative counter to the liberal AARP. Note: I voted unsure based on mulch's response to me. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

So, have they been swayed by Satan? You have stated at least a couple times that Satan tries to cause liberalism in America. Do you really believe that, or is it just hyperbole and blowing off of steam? Personally, if I believed in the influence of the evil one, I would see him as right winger. The function as a Christian is to focus on the process of maintaining a relationship with Christ on the path home. Satan will do whatever to influence people to focus on goals that only exist in the illusion of time. Do Christians focus on goals? Of course and they become disappointed and burned out. At those times the Holy Spirit will guide them back to the source. The challenge for the Christian is to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Satan does not want us to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Ron, two questions for you. Not a trick question. Do you believe it is possible to be both a Christian and a liberal? And secondly, do you personally know any liberal Christians? First question, yes absolutely. There is a Christian evangelical association headquartered in PA that is very liberal. http://www.evangelicalsforsocialaction.org/ Second, I met some in Tampa but I don't know any in north GA.

The first time I moved to the mountains out west was to live with liberals. The second time in north GA was after I retired to get away from them. I am a survivor more than a competitor.

Thanks, I believe those kinds of incidents happen every day but the MSM is not interested. Bottom line, good news is not sensational. However, the Christian grapevine picks them up and spreads them.

Thank you for your insightful response. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I have not seen a post from you offering something positive. All I notice are your criticisms about America, its citizens, its Christian faith, and its politics. Politics is depressing for some, mostly liberal Democrats. Those poor folks are always angry and therefore depressed because they cannot compete in the arena of ideas. Keep in mind America basically functions under the rules of the NFL. The liberals hate that and want desperately to take the passion out of the game. They fear head to head competition. Remember their travesty of teaching children they can get a trophy for showing up. There are no winners or losers. Boys are not allowed to be boys. Whoops! That goes in that other thread about strange flesh folk in the military. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

I am wary of priests. I don't associate with them unnecessarily. I only know one old guy that talks about his penis. He wants to get a penal implant. He will no doubt try to get the VA to pay for it. He is also our strongest Trump supporter. Mine quit working a long while ago when I started to understand that I was a spirit and not a body. The spirit wars against the flesh you know. (See Galatians 5:16 -18) Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

So why do you care about politics? Why did you care when you thought Obama wasn't a Christian? Why do you care about defending Trump? Why is it of any import whatsoever to you? The sky isn't green no matter how much you wish it was. 1. It is the stuff of life. 2. I do not wish the sky to be green. Why do you have no concern about what goes on your country or anywhere else? Your total focus of life is America and its Christians. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Thank you for an honest and real time response instead of a theoretical one. I do not have contact with active duty personnel. My opinions are based on military service between 1960-1975. My generation is/was wary of queer servicemen. We knew they existed but not who or where. In today's world, you indicate that the main point of concern is deployability. That makes sense. Eighteen and nineteen-year-olds have grown up with the fad of homosexuality, as my granddaughter calls it, so it is not such a big deal. I wonder about the drain of taxpayer funds and military strength if we have people joining just to receive an expensive sex-change operation at government expense. I suppose the counter point would be that people join to get a free education. The trust issue of a fellow combatant is still prevalent with me and my peer veterans. How can you completely trust a person that is not certain why he has a penis? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Pot, meet kettle. Don I'll admit to being disturbed at times but I am not confused. I know exactly what is going on in these last days. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I can understand that. I voted for Gary Johnson (Libertarian) because I couldn't stomach the thought of voting for either Clinton or Trump. But I don't see you distancing yourself from Trump at all. You support him. You call him a 'successful businessman' You seem to admire him. You clearly ignore all the allegations against him, regardless of the evidence. Anything you don't like, you call "fake". How you can reconcile that with your so-called "Christian Values" is a mystery to me. But, then again, how you reconcile much of what you say you do with those values is also a mystery. So it's not all that big of a surprise. It's simple. The are two kinds of power. One is political and the other is spiritual. Political power just relates to the stuff of life and society. Christian values relate to spiritual power and spiritual life. The former ends with physical death and the latter concerns eternity. The only thing I can take with me when this body dies is my salvation. Therefore, the other stuff is simply ego-illusions. Perception is reality. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

If you believe all that, how on earth can you watch a man like Trump and not see what he is: an unbelievably inflated (and fragile) ego, without a repentant bone in his body? How? It astonishes me that so many people who claim to live the ethics and morals of Christianity can't see how Trump is the manifestation of everything that is opposite. The only thing he has done to align himself with your world view is string a few words together that appeal to your basest wants and fears - the very things I would have thought your religious beliefs should be helping you to overcome. I voted for him because he was not Hillary. My first choice was Ted Cruz. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Jesus wouldn't approve. You are partially correct. Forgiveness is required to maintain a relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not so much that He disapproves as my ego-illusion keeps me from focusing on the truth, the light that is Christ. That is why Jesus left us with the comforter, the Holy Spirit. When my ego begins to cause a drift from the path of light, the Holy Spirit gently guides me back to the truth. That is why the Bible states that we sin daily. It is natural to drift from the truth and we have to make the effort, by prayer, to return to our spiritual nature and renew our relationship with our Savior. I am not a body. I am a spirit that lives in a body and I have a soul. My soul is my mind, my emotions, and my will. Satan's battle for my, and everyone's, soul is in the mind. We all have to repent, change our minds, change how we think. The way to accomplish that change is to admit that you are a sinner, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Then begin to walk the path of salvation.

When you were fighting communism in the 1960's, did you imagine you would ever find yourself defending a US president who was colluding with Russia, and defending Russia when they attacked us? My war with Russia was primarily academic and supporting the US Parachute Team. From my time in the military, I harbor a gross distrust of the Democrats and the liberal left. No, I am instilled with a deep hatred. I pray almost every day to get through that negativity. Sometimes it works. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

So then, no problem making deals with a nuclear armed NK then. Seems like a good idea. Apparently, California could just buy them out and make it a colony. It would be a good market for their fruits and nuts. We could ship Mexicans over there to implement construction and their own agriculture. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Well no. That's just nonsense. Somehow you manage to see Trump as a uniter? Russian officials are attempting to use the money they have looted from the Russian people to influence American politicians. In order to hide their stolen gains and keep them safe. That's really all Russiagate is about in the end. In your world of twisted morals I'm sure you are just fine with that. But Trump is going to do nothing to keep you and yours safe from the Islamist hoards. They do not have hundreds of ICBMs aimed at America. But Russia does. And we have a bunch aimed at them as well. Mutually assured destruction is a deterrent. So, we make deals instead of deaths. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Perhaps you should have your hearing checked? Or at least the sources you're hearing. What everyone needs to understand is that Satan wants to keep us divided. Fake, incorrect news and misinformation are distributed in all areas of the country. We have to find a way to become united as a people. Our enemy right now is Radical Islam, not Russia. Second to ISIS is North Korea. If we are having talks with Putin I think that is a good thing. Collusion is not a crime, it is a political agenda to the sore losing liberal left. We need to get past all that and get to the business of doing what is best for America. President Trump is removing unnecessary regulations on the environment and agriculture. He is rescinding the allocations for the medical services for transgender personnel in the military. These are the right moves in draining the swamp. You don't hear anything about those improvements.
