I read an update that says that a candidate who is ‘gay married’ to another man, with a last name the first four letters of which are ‘butt’ is winning the delegate count so far in Iowa, a day late.I don’t know how it will turn out. I’m risk-averse when it comes to elections. While it might be true that Trump might kick Buttigieg in a contest against a gay opponent at the general election, I’d rather see the Democrats pick the least dangerous candidate who has a chance to run against the least dangerous Republican who has a chance. This time, my guess on the Democrat side is Biden. Here is a viral video of an ill-informed caucus voter who wanted her card back after learning that her candidate is ‘gay married’ to some other man. youtu.be/pTQlwARreXc________________
I could be wrong cause I’m just a low tech redneck – but I think that was a rigged vote for sure. Been wrong before. Nope, didn’t hear from God on that one. lo________________

LGBT folks tend to be the type that would come out and vote if one of theirs has a shot at being president. Strangely, much of the country have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into thinking that LGBTs should be treated like a minority, like blacks, with special protection against discrimination. If men went around with signs demanding special legal protections for having a sexual preference for Asians or redheads, no one would take them seriously. But so many think that way about homosexuals now.So let’s say 10% of the country want to see a homosexual president because they think it would be a big breakthrough like having a black president, and that’s about 20% of Democrats. Add a couple more percent for people who don’t care about that but just like his personality and stances on the issue. If there are four or five candidates in the race, he might win the nomination. Biden or Warren need to drop out. Warren needs to drop out because she is too leftist like Bernie, so I wish she’d drop out, but I doubt that argument would appeal to her. Maybe Nevada or South Carolina will show that Biden or Warren can take a strong lead. I’m hoping out of the candidates there, that Biden wins then loses in the general election.Is anyone going to leave the US if the gay dude wins. I’m imagining a commercial for him where a creepy, gay-sounding teacher lectures kindergarten students, having them repeat after him, ‘It doesn’t matter what your sexual preference is. See, Pete Buttigieg is the front runner for the nomination. You can still become president. Do any of you think you might be gay? What about me? Do you find me attractive?’ Followed by an announcement. ‘Help elect the first gay president. Support Pete Buttigieg for the nomination. Adding a line where the teacher offers the kids some candy or a puppy might be too obvious. Package it all together as a pro Buttigieg ad but without his endorsement on the end. That might turn enough voters off.Why don’t conservative Christians field a Democratic candidate, support him or her enough to keep him/her in the primaries, and then go vote for him/her? It makes perfect sense when there is a Republican incumbent like this year________________
Serious thought here …right???Actscelerate is just a microcosm of our national temperature gauge when it comes to agreeing on political platforms.No!I want my POTUS to be imperfect like me but I do want him to acknowledge that there is a true divine God who created this world. I don’t want a pastor, evangelist, missionary, apostle or prophet. As it is the poor guy would be torn to pieces by the ultra-right & I prefer my Prez with a few mistakes & imperfections. Trump has aligned himself with the evangelicals & a lot of them are anxious & waiting for the next juicy tidbit so they can continue to use their beam to point out his splinters. ________________Empty nest syndrome is for the birds!Email me at: [email protected] planters are focused on just one thing …introducing people to Jesus!
I am not sure what you mean. Do you think that Democrats require one to be an atheist to run for office________________
When referring to homosexuality.I’m politically incorrect. Sue me. ________________
It’s pretty rich to hear the president not pastor folks clutching their pearls about a homosexual potentially being in the White House, when they have no end of defenses for their strong support of a man who cheated on his wife while she was pregnant with their son.
It ain’t the same, it ain’t the same, it ain’t the same.It ain’t the same, it ain’t the same, it ain’t the same.It ain’t the same, it ain’t the same, it ain’t the same.I had to say something. LOL Of course neither is defensible, and I don’t think Trumps SINS have been smiled at here, and I will hold my nose and vote for him again unless some other winning possible shows up.BUT my vote won’t be so we can have a Mr as the first Lady……… Just me. And yes, I would hold being queer against him as a leader. Queer was appropo when I was growing up. ________________Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/
With respect, is there any scriptural basis you could offer for them not being the same?Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. – 1 Cor 6:9-10To be clear — I am NOT criticizing the president not pastor view. For instance, what Dean expressed in this thread. I think that’s a valid viewpoint.

For instance, what Dean expressed in this thread. I think that’s a valid viewpoint.What is not valid, IMO, is expressing that view for some sexual sins but not others. You can’t say Pete shouldn’t be president because he’s gay while arguing that it doesn’t matter that Trump is an adulterer because he’s the president and not a pastor. That is an inconsistent view.
Come on, UncleJD. What’s the false dichotomy? Really going to need you to unpack that one for me.Yes, there are many policy-based reasons to not want Buttigieg to be president. But this thread wasn’t posted to discuss his policies. The bottom line is that anyone who claims Trump’s adultery is irrelevant to his qualification as president has NO business talking about Pete’s homosexuality as something that disqualifies him from being president.

The bottom line is that anyone who claims Trump’s adultery is irrelevant to his qualification as president has NO business talking about Pete’s homosexuality as something that disqualifies him from being president.I’m fine with EITHER position, but intellectual consistency requires the chosen position be applied across the board. There’s no false dichotomy in that. And I said exactly what I meant, IF he was the pro-life, etc.. candidate we’d all vote for him too. The sodomy is just a disgusting bonus you get with his unacceptable policies, it has nothing to do with the main reasons for not voting for him among the not my pastor crowd. It may among the religious views are all that matters crowd, i.e. the ones that voted for Obama since he’s a Christian vs Romney’s a Mormon crowd, but that was NOT the not my pastor faction, so its a false-dichotomy until someone here admits that they are a not my pastor for Trump and not a sinner for Peter. I would count myself as a not my pastor guy and disgusted by the thought of Sodomy in the WH guy, but that doesn’t mean I would not vote for him were he the conservative in the race vs Chairman Wow (Bernie) or someone like that.
If we are not equally as disgusted with the emotional and spiritual betrayal of adultery, especially against a pregnant spouse, I would contend that our sexual ethics are cultural and not Scriptural.
That whole thing has been really fascinating. I was reading earlier this week that Pete is taking a LOT of heat from the far left for being a fake homosexual because he is not really experiencing discrimination or rejection based on his sexuality.
