don t even pretend this little temper tantrum on ya' lls my part, and protest on my part, began because of my posting style....

it began when I posted.., vote trump.

Now the reason of course that we can know that this is a complete load of mountain oysters, is due to the fact that this is hardly the first time wes has been called on his trolling with multiple consecutive posts...

He started doing it right after he began posting here, and was called on it then, and he has been called on it several times since whenever it has become excessive...

It has nothing to do with his dumb decision to support Trump....

Trust me on this wes, nobody here is thinking, "You know, posting eight times in a row would be perfectly fine if he just wasn't a Trump supporter..."

Two other things wrong with that quote I began this post with:

First, making discussion impossible by clogging up a thread with multiple consecutive posts is a posting "style" only in the sense that driving 30 miles per hour with your right blinker on in the left hand lane on the highway can be called a driving "style"...

And second, he has the who is having the "temper tantrum" and who is making a "protest" exactly backwards...

But other than that, it's a spot o post...

Surprise, surprise, Trump is also trying to play the nativist card on Cruz:
Trump: I'm an evangelical, Cruz is Cuban

Donald Trump tweeted Friday morning that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was planning an attack on him. He then questioned Cruz's religion and ties to Big Oil in comments Friday night.

"I am an evangelical. I'm a Christian. I'm a Presbyterian," Trump said to an Iowa town hall rally. In contrast, he said that while he personally liked Cruz, "not a lot of evangelicals come out of Cuba, in all fairness."

Trump may be feeling pressure from Cruz after the Texas senator snatched first place from the billionaire in a Monmouth University Poll released Monday. Cruz is also ranked first in the Washington Examiner's power rankings.
It there's a single negative impulse Trump can exploit to get votes, you can bet he'll use it...

Here's a news flash for the TrumptyDumpty:

"Christian," "Evangelical," and "Presbyterian" are not equivalent.

I'm sorry, but "evangelical" and "Presbyterian" are not two words that tend to go together. Not saying they are mutually exclusive, by any means, but most people who would call themselves evangelical would have about as much affinity with Presbyterians as they would with Wiccans.

Oh, I don't know. First of all, Trump's a monster and an idiot. Those who support him are monsters and idiots (and the children of incestuous idiots)

Second, he did not say that Christian = evangelical = Presbyterian. He claimed to be all three and is probably lying as usual.

Also too, I am a Christian and an evangelical and (at least in South Africa) I was a Presbyterian too also furthermore. I preached in Presbyterian congregations. If not for the return to the USA, I would have become an elder.

We were going to join the Presbyterian church here in Kent but in the end determined to join the local Baptists at Hooters

Of course

I think you'd be much happier posting at US Message Board: http://www.usmessageboard.com/

I'm not saying you should leave here, but you should check that forum out - there are many more like-minded folks over there you could troll with your ugly politics. Rude multiple posts probably won't upset anyone over there, either.

While you are here, you should show some courtesy to the people who have been posting here since the beginning. IMHO.

Probably true, although Cuba probably has exported a pretty good number of evangelicas or evangelistas. :shrug

I'm just saying that if you want a place to post ugly political posts repetitively, you should check it out. Unless you actually enjoy frustrating everyone here. :shrug

No, jackwad, you haven't played me any music.  What you *HAVE* done is needlessly annoyed countless thousands of electrons by posting links to songs, most of which I already know by heart, so there is no need for me to click on them to hear the Beatles sing "Yesterday" or "Revolution" for the three-hundred-and-twenty-nine-squintillionth time.

I've been here for maybe ten days now, and even I'm beginning to wonder if you were known as 'jay' in a former life (ex-pats from the old Car Talk board will get the reference).

That's precisely the point - most evangelicals don't believe that mainstream Christians are "real" Christians - they haven't been born again and all that truck. Trump attempting to claim common ground with them by saying he is Presbyterian is akin to a Jew trying to convince a group of Muslims that he really is one of them.
