Freep and a lot of the right think the Pulse shooting was the first nail in the coffin for Clinton., even believing it would cause massive support from the gay community for Trump because he'd protect them from further terrorism.

Don't polls consistently show people don't actually trust Trump on terrorism at all?

"They need to get back to the Torah big time! Also we love Trump!"

"You shall not withold the wages of poor and needy laborers, whether other Israelites or aliens who reside in your land and towns. You shall pay them their wages before sunset because they are poor and their livelihood relies on them; otherwise they might cry to The Lord against you, and you would incur guilt." -Deuteronomy 24:14-15

"You shall not deprive a resident alien or an orphan of justice; you shall not take a widow's garment in pledge. Remember that you were a slave in Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you from there. Therefore I command you do this. When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it.; it shall be left for the alien, the orphan, and the widow, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all undertakings. When you beat your olive trees, do not strip what is left; it shall be for the alien, the orphan, and the widow. When you gather grapes, do not glean what is left; it shall be for the alien, the orphan, and the widow. Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this." -Deuteronomy 24:17-22

Note these things in no way describe Trump. He wouldn't even like the bits about how you should visit sacral destruction and devastation on your enemies and offer up all spoil to the Lord; he'd prefer to take the oil.

Double fun because deuteronomy is also part of the OT, and thus the Bible and thus their oh so valued Christian faith and culture.

You'll often see Christian sects deny that the OT matters much despite the fact that in Matthew Christ says he came to fulfill, not abolish, the Law.

I mean in fairness, there are tons of parts of Deuteronomy I think are bullshit or crazy, because it's the moral and ethical laws for the nobility of an ancient pastoral culture, but anyone who doesn't notice the emphasis on the idea that even in the harsher and more legalistic old books the Lord hammers that the powerful have an obligation to defend the powerless and to recall that they are fortunate to be wealthy and well fed (and thus extend their wealth to the community and common good) is a bastard.

The OT matters or doesn't based entirely on if it supports what you already hate or want to do. See also quoting Leviticus on gay sex. Kashrut, charity to the poor being ordered by law or animal cruelty, those don't matter.

I find it's much easier to deal with if you keep in mind where it comes from and when. And always remind yourself there's a section in it on 'Man we better make sure we kill EVERY motherfucker we fight, no mercy, if they're anywhere near our territory.' in Deuteronomy.

See, this is interesting to me. I went to a lot of catholic schools growing up, like the kind run by nuns level of catholic. And I was told multiple times over many years by different nuns that the OT basically "was historical but didn't apply unless you are Jewish" and it was the NT that actually mattered.

Mind you, I have no idea how accurate this is from a theological standpoint it is... but it definitely makes it funny to me when I see "christians" quoting the OT to base their hate.

edit: from what I can remember (its been awhile!) the rationale was based on the old/new covenant deal. That the OT was the old covenant, and that Jesus was here to start the new covenant (rendering the old one N/A).

Well, remember that Matthew was specifically a gospel written for Jewish adherents to the new Jesus Movement before it was specifically the Christian faith. Matthew was primarily an evangelical document trying to convince other jews that Christ was the Messiah and that joining this new sect was cool and not contradictory with prior teaching. Other gospels were written for very different audiences and theological purposes.

E: It's common Christian teaching that the Old Testament and the old Law was abolished, though, despite Matthew. Partly because of passages like Acts where Peter realizes the Lord is abolishing the purity laws. Or things like Paul saying 'Yeah, sure, eat food that was offered to an idol, it's fine, because otherwise you won't be able to buy meat in a marketplace in the Hellenic world.'

Yeah, sorry to derail some. Just Christian identity is so important to these people but they're such maddeningly terrible Christians, it feels kinda relevant.

Plus, the bit about God demanding you pay your laborers is super fitting to one of Trump's infuriating vices.

Has there been any reaction from Freep on Trump agreeing with Clinton on some level of gun control? Or did they just let that go in one ear and out the other?

It was gun control for non-whites (which is what they think the Terrorism No Fly List is) so they won't care.

Oh, so it's a real, scientific poll, not an online opt-in? Darn.

Yes, but commissioned by Breibart, from a firm with a general R lean, and it STILL had her winning. Just by slightly less than PPP, CNN, and all the other actual polls.

Every now and then I catch myself hoping these bastards die alone and terrified, abandoned by their friends, family, and country.

It's not right and I shouldn't feel that way, but my niece is *terrified* of the stuff she sees on the news. My nephews' mother is in a near panic about her mixed race sons. My mother is terrified her black grandson is going to die in a run-in with the cops. This poo poo is close to home for me.

Personally, I just want to know if this is all because Trump crossed a line for the Republicans or if it was a straw and camel's back situation.

It's a mixture of straw and 'He's already down HOW MUCH in the polls!? gently caress!'

Look at how the Christian Right has reacted: They're some of the ones defending this the most, waving it off as 'Eh, everyone's sinful'.

It's interesting to note that there were a few Freepers who were outright critical of police decision-making/use of force a couple years ago as Black Lives Matter was just starting out. Since then, they've galvanized in favor of the police. I wonder what happened?

Longstreet's almost unique among ex-Confederate generals, in that after the war he committed the two unforgivable sins of 1. admitting yeah, it'd been all about slavery the whole time, and 2. joining the Republican party. Mosby's the only other one who did both I can think of, and he wasn't nearly as prominent at Longstreet.

Of course, given that the former had been Grant's best man at his wedding and closest friend in the prewar army, perhaps it came easier.

Patrick Cleburne, one of their Western generals and an Irish immigrant who'd made it good in America, legitimately bought the whole 'states rights, defend our region' thing so much that he proposed to the rest of the general staff that they free and arm any slave who would fight for them, since States' Rights was obviously the real cause.

The rest of the staff basically went 'Oh, uh, what? poo poo man, you're a war hero, you can't be saying this kind of thing' and did everything they could to bury that he'd even said such insanity to save his reputation.

I did a paper on Cleburne ages ago and his story is sad as hell. He was an insanely brave, honorable guy who loved his new home because he'd come there and made a great life as a pharmacist and local politician, got elected militia leader, turned out to be a good commander, and became a war hero. He finally found love and got married, then basically got told the cause he thought he was fighting for was bullshit to his face and then shortly after was ordered into an insane frontal charge for the reasons of 'My CO is missing 2 limbs, is out of his mind with chronic pain, and is hopped up on laudanum' and then got shot in the heart. Like, if there was a guy who had an actual excuse for not getting that it was all about slavery it was the guy who wasn't from the South originally and who really thought he was fighting to defend his new home until he died pointlessly.
