Evan Sayet:
"My Leftist friends constantly ask me if I’m not bothered by Donald Trump’s lack of decorum. They ask if I don’t think his tweets are “beneath the dignity of the office.”

Here’s my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. We tried statesmanship. We tried propriety. And the results were always the same. This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob. I don’t find anything “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper” about Barack Obama’s lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party.

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety.

With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America ’s first wartime president in the Culture War.

Trump’s tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after “the fake media” — and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri — Trump isolated CNN.. He made it personal.

Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama’s close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers & Bernardine Dohrn), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright’s church.

So, to my friends on the Left — and the #NeverTrumpers as well — do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be “collegial” and “dignified” and “proper”? Of course I do.
These aren’t those times. This is war. And it’s a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years.
So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times. I don’t care. I can’t spare this man. He fights for America!"

Peter MacDonald: There is no way to know if you are saved then according to this. I was as saved as you could get. I knew I had sinned and felt the conviction. I repented. I felt forgiven and saved. I knew I was headed to Heaven. There are always going to be controversy in the church about this kind of stuff because there is no real answer. One man believes the Bible is interpreted a certain way, and the other believes the complete opposite. And both are listening to God. People have their untouchable zone, that is, however convincing the argument is they won't be persuaded because it reaches into a "no fly zone" in their brain. Think of a box with a key. You were told to never ever open the box no matter what. You can play with anything else in the room but DO NOT turn that key and explore the box! If you are successful in instilling fear in that person, you can keep whatever lies in the box locked away safely. The problem with Christians is their no fly zones are logical thinking. They are told "The Bible is without any flaws, it's a perfect book" So you can't think about anything in the Bible in a logical fashion. If it says it, it's true. Here's how the controversy starts: Everyone has presuppositions. You can't help it. So you try to make the Bible say what you want by what you feel. That's all it really is. Most people are genuine people who want to find the truth and are really sincere. I don't doubt that one bit. I was once that person. Just trying to make sense of it. Let me challenge you today, open the box and explore it. Don't be afraid to let go of your religion! If it's really true you don't have anything to worry about, right? You'll find yourself right back where you were. But for the sake of your sanity, rethink religon.

Ray Comfort: Peter MacDonald. Did you know the Lord? If you say you did, then what we maintain is true. If you didn't, then you were a false convert who faked it...for how many years?
