The voters on morality have got themselves painted into a corner. They got abortion or a casino owner with children by multiple wives married to a porn model. Come what may this will be their undoing and end their significance in politics. They should have stay out and the GOP should have listened to Goldwater. At any rate I think this will be the last dance for the Church of Politics.

One more reason to NOT vote for him.
Don't you think he was just saying, he won't make such a stand for people and stores to not say it? After all, we know who is behind shaming Christians and Christmas, only a blind fool would choose to ignore those wanting to change America.

That's a good question - in that ordinary laypeople (or priests or even bishops) do not vote for a pope. That's left to the College of Cardinals (since 1059CE - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_conclave - for details). The question is pretty moot, though - I doubt that Evangelical Christians would have much to do with the Roman Catholic Church.

I see, so Trump will dictate what kind of corporate rules companies can, and cannot enforce on their employees. Is that it?

I am a Christian, and no one has shamed me. How have you been shamed?

Far better to support someone like Hillary and the leftists who support murdering babies in the womb.

So, just so I understand you correctly, you are presenting yourself as someone who can define Christian and unchristian behavior? Gotcha!

I don't think he will be doing this. I think it is a stick in President Obama's eye, Obama administration is the one who butted into telling people what we can and cannot say.
No, I haven't been shamed, but I also don't live around a bunch of liberals, deciding what people can say or not say. I'm also surrounded by those Christians who think Christmas is a pagan holiday, people just can't have fun. So, we just celebrate snow most of the year......I live in snow country.

...
If you mean the old USSR, they tried desperately to raise the number of children that families had - they provided free/subsidized childcare, healthcare, awards & $ incentives for larger families - they were trying to replace all the dead & injured from WWII & the political purges, poor harvests & other disasters from 1917 on. None of that seemed to work - although the subsidized health care did include abortions. China, now - they were quite serious about reducing their population, typically to replacement levels only. & they would execute babies, if it came down to that. Eastern Europe in general had the same problem that the Soviets did - for whatever reason, families there didn't reproduce much beyond bare replacement, & sometimes not even that.


In the US, the Supreme Court has already ruled on abortion - they're not babies in the womb, not until the fetus is delivered & breathing on its own. & therefore, it's not murder (in the eyes of the courts).


Although the US will also have to do more to encourage larger families here - we can't count on immigration forever, nor even indefinitely.

Evangelicals are kind of kinky which fits with Trump's history.

and Trump has always had an interest in 12 year olds
