    Christian nationalism is nothing more than old fashion patriotism. They try to add a couple of exaggerations on to it and dome out right lies to get it painted in the worst possible light. Make no mistake, America is under a revolution attack by the progressive left. They are using propaganda like mentioned in the op to turn hearts away from truth. Its nothing more than gaslighting politically. We are in fact in the middle of a cold civil war

    There are people who are avowed nationalists who also self-proclaim as Christian. Some of these groups are Christian in name only as they use political means to control and force others into their ideology of what the United States should be. It is really no different than the radical socialists who are attempting to do the same thing. Both have ideologies they are attempting to force on others through political manipulation.

    Good takedown of the claims against "Christian Nationalism", a defense of the normality of what Liberals call "Christian Nationalism", and a acknowledgement of some nutters that think Trump is equivalent to Jesus.

    He breaks it down into 3 types of nations:
    1. Nations can remain distinct - Nationalism
    2. Nations can disintegrate - Tribalism
    3. Nations can coalesce - Globalism

    We've tried item #3. It didn't work, and the few remaining globalists are the ones bleating about "Christian Nationalism" because it's going to destroy their global order.

    Item #2 is clearly a non-starter courtesy of Somalia.

    Item #1 is the only valid option.

    Why is it that a few weeks ago when I told you I was a Nationalist, you said you were not because nationalists were Nazis?

    it seems your premise is that i somehow have changed my position. I havent. Please read my words carefully. You can call yourself whatever you want but ill say it again nationalist is a phenomenon and has not been commonly used till recent political agendas in this cold civil war.

    No one is equivalent to the Lord Jesus.

    However, President Trump was indeed a great president.

    ". . . It is widely known that Jefferson and Franklin were deists. It is also widely known that it was the Virginia and Maryland Baptists, based upon the concept of freedom of worship, that insisted on the First Amendment as a condition for their support for the new Constitution of the United States."

    From the article:

    I am compelled to sound a word of warning here. Be very wary when CNN seeks to define what is and what is not true Christianity. And when anyone claims that a form of Christianity is a threat to democracy, it is usually a pretext for marginalization and persecution.

    Many of the articles from the political left create a straw man of conservative Christianity to tear it down.
    Well said. The Dem Progressive Left is an enemy of America, as well as an enemy of Christ and his followers.

    The only threat to "democracy" is the DEMOCRAT PARTY and those who vote for it.
