Trump Wins FRC Straw Poll Over DeSantis 64% – 27%… Why Evangelicals Continue to Support Him

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

“Former President Donald Trump has won the Family Research Council Action’s Pray Vote Stand Summit Straw Poll, netting almost 64% of the votes cast, with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis coming in second, with 27% of the vote.

“I don’t think there’s any surprise based on what we’re seeing, but Donald Trump came in first,” Family Research Council Action Chairman Tony Perkins told Newsmax’s James Rosen Saturday afternoon, with Rosen breaking the news on X. “But Donald Trump came in first, with about 63% … 63.9% to be exact, and Ron DeSantis was second, with 27.3%. All the others were 2% or below.”

The results, Perkins said, came “because of their strong stand, taking on woke corporate America, fighting for faith, fighting for families; and that’s who’s going to be rewarded with votes, those who are willing to stand up and fight.”

Both candidates spoke at the organization’s summit, held this past week in Washington, D.C., and at the national summit convened by the Concerned Women of America. Both are evangelical advocacy groups.” (Courtesy Newsmax.com)

Why did these Evangelicals vote overwhelmingly for Trump in the above-mentioned Straw Poll?

Donald J. Trump leads with his heart.

As the Founder of the Family Research Council, Dr. James Dobson, after interviewing him before the 2016 presidential election, said, Trump is a baby Christian. He knows Who God is.

And, that is a very good thing.

Those of us who live in America’s Heartland, between the coasts, continue to support the man whom we elected in 2016 to the most powerful office in the Free World…because he is not a politician.

And, a lot of average Christian Americans continue to include him in our daily prayers.

Liberals who seem to spend their entire day on Social Media posting fake news stories, pulling “facts” out of their hindquarters, and posting anything and everything that they can, in order to attempt to stop Trump from becoming President again, are probably in diabetic shock from consuming too many Cheetos and donuts in their Mom’s basement, as they attempt to comprehend what I am writing.

Here’s the deal, Snowflakes…

None of the 91 Political Indictments, none of the fake news stories, Democrat-heavy polls, photoshopped pictures, and stupid Occupy Democrat Memes on Facebook are making any difference to average Americans.

The Democrat Elite and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, as a result of their own regional bias toward the major metropolitan areas on the East and Left Coasts, which has been obvious to average Americans for the last several decades, continue through their sheer arrogance and hatred for the traditional American Way of Life, to distance themselves from the people whom they continue to claim that they “love”…Average Working Class Americans.

Yet, still they expect us to believe the Fake News which they are desperately trying to distribute in a vain attempt to keep Trump out of office and their unconstitutional Indictments which Liberal Trolls are posting about on Social Media ad nauseam, so that they and the rest of the “useful idiots”, in their shared madness, can get a do-over and demented feeble old Joe Biden will somehow miraculously remain President.

Average Americans do not care what Main Stream Media “journalists” and their masters in the Far Left Democratic Party think.

To put it mildly and in Marital Terms, which even the Liberal Trolls who inhabit President Trump’s Twitter Account can understand, Average Working Class Americans and the Democratic Party are no longer “evenly yoked”.

The Democrats became the party of the “Upper Crust” and Special Interest Group who continue to look down their noses at Americans who live here in “Flyover Country”.

The Democrats assumed, after reading their own press clippings, that all Americans wanted in 2016 and somehow, still want, the Progressive/Marxist Political Ideology and style of governance which Biden has practiced during his time as President.

That is why they are trying to jail the 45th President of the United States and, once again, rig the outcome of the upcoming Presidential Election.

If the Democrats on Capitol Hill believe that average Americans between the coasts will support the jailing of a former President who brought jobs and a booming economy back to America before the Chinese released COVID-9, they are sadly mistaken.

During my 64 years on God’s green Earth, I have never, EVER seen a former President of the United States so relentlessly assaulted by the press and members of both political parties on a daily basis like Donald J. Trump has been.

It has not worked, as this map from Reuters News, showing how a Trump/Biden Presidential Election, would play out if the election happened today

To some who will read this post, Trump’s enduring popularity will remain inexplicable.

To those of us who share the Faith of Our Fathers, no explanation is necessary.

That is why I join a multitude of my fellow Americans in praying daily for President Donald J. Trump.

The War Against Christianity: Showdown at the FRC

On By kingsjesterIn Politics4 Comments

Once again, a nutjob with a gun has opened fire on innocent people. Only this time, he was not successful in carrying out his planned killing spree.

Thank God.

A security guard at the Family Research Council’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. is being hailed as a hero after he stopped a gunman posing as an intern, taking a bullet in the arm before wrestling the suspect to the ground.

The gunman entered the lobby of the organization’s Chinatown headquarters around 10:45 and expressed disagreement with the conservative group’s policy positions, Fox News has learned. When the guard, who was not identified, asked him where he was going, he opened fire, according to police.

“The security guard here is a hero, as far as I’m concerned,” D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said. ”He did his job. The person never made it past the front.”

The guard, who was not identified, was shot in the arm and was conscious after the shooting and was in stable condition. The gunman, who also was not identified, was being questioned by the FBI, sources said. Sources said he is in his twenties.

The suspect “made statements regarding their policies, and then opened fire with a gun striking a security guard,” a source told Fox News. WJLA-TV7 reported the suspect was also shot. Sources also said the gunman may have been carrying a bag from Chick-fil-A, the embattled fast-food restaurant whose president came under fire from gay activists after he said he did not agree with same-sex marriage.

Sources told Fox New that after guard took away his gun, the suspect said, “Don’t shoot me, it was not about you, it was what this place stands for.”

Authorities were treating the attack as a case of domestic terrorism, although James McJunkin, the head of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, said authorities do not yet know the gunman’s motive.

CBS News sheds some more light on the gunman:

A man suspected of shooting and wounding a security guard in the lobby of a Christian lobbying group had been volunteering at a community center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

A law enforcement official has identified the suspect arrested in Wednesday’s shooting as Floyd Corkins II of Herndon, Va. Investigators were interviewing his neighbors.

Another official says the shooter made a negative reference about the work of the Family Research Council before opening fire. The officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation.

David Mariner is executive director of The DC Center for the LGBT Community. He says Corkins had been volunteering at the center for about the past 6 months. Mariner describes Corkins as “kind, gentle and unassuming.”

While police have not yet stated what motivated Corkins, a coalition of 25 gay rights groups released a statement through GLAAD condemning the shooting.

“The motivation and circumstances behind today’s tragedy are still unknown, but regardless of what emerges as the reason for this shooting, we utterly reject and condemn such violence. We wish for a swift and complete recovery for the victim of this terrible incident,” the statement read.

Why would anyone want to kill people working at a place that espouses Traditional American Values, which happens to represent the ideology of the overwhelming majority of the American people?

Perhaps, they are spurred on by groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Founded in 1971 by a pair of Alabama lawyers, Morris Dees and Joe Levin, the Montgomery-based Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) quickly built a reputation as America’s leading “civil rights law firm,” suing Southern institutions resistant to desegregation, publicizing hate crimes, and using the media to denounce the perpetrators of those crimes. At the time of SPLC’s founding, Julian Bond, who currently chairs the NAACP, was named the fledgling group’s first President.

…As part of the Intelligence Project, the SPLC website currently features a map of “Active U.S. Hate Groups.” Deeming racism the the nearly exclusive province of the “radical right,” Intelligence Project reports mostly ignore groups on the left. And although SPLC denounces extremist religious organizations like the Jewish Defense League and Westboro Baptist Church, no mention is made of any extremist Muslim groups. (In 2007, SPLC identified 888 separate “active hate groups” in the United States.)

This “tolerant” organization has written the following description of the FRC:

Family Research Council

Founded: 1983

Location: Washington, D.C.

Ideology: Anti-Gay

The Family Research Council (FRC) bills itself as “the leading voice for the family in our nation’s halls of power,” but its real specialty is defaming gays and lesbians. The FRC often makes false claims about the LGBT community based on discredited research and junk science. The intention is to denigrate LGBT people in its battles against same-sex marriage, hate crimes laws, anti-bullying programs and the repeal of the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.

To make the case that the LGBT community is a threat to American society, the FRC employs a number of “policy experts” whose “research” has allowed the FRC to be extremely active politically in shaping public debate. Its research fellows and leaders often testify before Congress and appear in the mainstream media. It also works at the grassroots level, conducting outreach to pastors in an effort to “transform the culture.”

…The Family Research Council (FRC) emerged from a 1980 White House conference on families. James Dobson, founder of the religious right powerhouse Focus on the Family, met and prayed with a group of eight Christian leaders at a Washington hotel, leading ultimately to the creation of the FRC in 1983 under the initial direction of Gerald Regnier (formerly of the Department of Health and Human Services). The group became a division of Focus on the Family in 1988 under Gary Bauer, a religious right leader who would use his post as a launching pad for a failed 2000 run for the presidency. Bauer had been the undersecretary of education and a domestic policy advisor to President Reagan.

Bauer raised the FRC’s profile, increased its effectiveness, and built a national network of “concerned citizens” during the Clinton Administration. But the FRC separated from Focus on the Family in 1992 over concerns that its very political work might threaten Focus’ tax-exempt status; Dobson and two other Focus officials joined the FRC’s newly independent board. As an independent nonprofit, the FRC continued its work in “pro-family” areas, working against abortion and stem cell research, fighting pornography and homosexuality, and promoting “the Judeo-Christian worldview as the basis for a just, free, and stable society.” That work would establish FRC as one of the most powerful of the far right’s advocacy groups.

America has been fighting a culture war for a while now. As traditional families seem to be dwindling, and God is taken out of our schools, our homes, and our American culture, we find that His grace has been replaced by an egocentric vulgarity of spirit in many of our citizens.

More and more, this “Shining City on a Hill”, founded on a Solid Rock…finds itself resting on shifting sands.

Hatred has no Political Ideology.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
