<\/a><\/p>\n A puzzling mindset has emerged in some conservatives regarding Cruz. A publisher who usually publishes my articles rejected one touting Ted Cruz for president. The publisher politely lectured me about my support for Cruz,\u00a0calling it misguided and even non-Christian. I love the way when people know you are Christian they try to use your faith to manipulate you. (Smile)<\/span><\/p>\n Conservatives choosing to perceive Trump as they want him to be is a reflection of their anger, frustration, and fear of losing their country. I witnessed this phenomenon when Trump first announced his campaign. An evangelical minister attempted to convince me that Trump is a committed Christian. I was a bit taken aback. While I do not think poorly of Trump, it never occurred to me to use the words \u201cTrump\u201d and \u201cChristian\u201d in the same sentence. My Evangelical brother’s effort to make Trump a strong Christian confirmed that Conservatives are desperate. Pure and simple.<\/span><\/p>\n The reality is that\u00a0many conservatives will follow anyone promising \u201creal\u201d change in Washington. Given the betrayal, heartache and disappointment that the GOP has put tea partiers\/patriots through, I cannot criticize my patriot brothers and sisters who support Trump. It kind of offends me when I hear conservative pundits trashing Trump supporters — in essence, beating up on the victims.<\/span><\/p>\n I will state again that if Trump becomes our GOP nominee, I will wave \u201cVote Trump!\u201d signs on street corners. However, I do have concerns about the man. I am not talking about the mainstream media, Democrats and RINO’s accusations about Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n As a matter of fact, please allow me to digress for a moment. I heard a report that British politicians have half a million signatures on a petition supportive of banning Trump from the UK<\/a> because of his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from the U.S. Folks, this infuriated me. I thought, \u201cJust because you idiots have surrendered to political correctness and allowed Muslim terrorists to dominate your country, does not mean we should do the same in the U.S.!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n
