    So? What does the target of each party's corruption have to do with anything? I guess if you are an unborn child you have a right to like the DNC less, and if you are a child born in poverty you probably have a right to like the GOP less. But ultimately evil is evil and sin is sin. Anti-Christ is anti-Christ......if you are consumed about arguing which party is more against God than the other then you have a problem.

    What book is that? The one that says "He who follows after me and does not hate his own father or mother, or son or daughter...?" (Luke 24:26). The one which says "I am sent to the lost sheep of Israel; it isn't right to take the children's food and give it to the dogs"?

    I do not need luck. The Trumpodits proved the point today when they attempted to trash the U.S. Constitution.

    I saw ten kids one wearing a buffalo hat and two carrying flags that broke into the room.
    No broken glass,nothing burned, no looting, and to hear CNN report it it was the apocalypse.
    To suggest this is equivalent to democratic riots in Seattle and Milwaukee and Portland is ludicrous.

    Yes, I have. I have always supported the U S. Constitution (spent 23 years defending its interests, so you are approaching a sensitive spot with your false claims).

    That said, I did disagree that the US Constitution is God-given "scripture".

    Yes, fairly recently. I retired from the military in September 2014. That is recent enough to be offended by false accusations of the nature you offered.

    Exactly! The Problem is - it WAS NOT "a Constitutional process" that was going on, that is a lie! It was an attempt to finalize a theft being driven by a Leftist coup! Stop the violence BUT also stop the fake comparisons and the hypocrisy of calling this an unamerican disgrace. Those who would only focus on the actions of a few are either pretenders or falling right into the hands of promoting the hypocritical narratives of the Left! There was no graffiti, no one burned down the Capital, stores and businesses were not burned and looted, no cars turned over and burned, no takeover of the city – the truth is it was mostly peaceful.

    I don't mean to sound snippy about the Constitution issue, @Revmitchell and I know politics lead to accusations and conclusions.

    Those who have served in the military probably get a hint of why I may get a little put off my the hint I do not care about the Constitution.

    I served 23 years, was away from my family a lot, and lost friends in service. I am not a political person but I am a Constitutionalist.

    I will just say that you interpreted our disagreement wrong if you thought it was a disregard for the Constitution (it was the opposite).

    I believe the Constitution is binding even when things are unfair (perhaps more so). But I also believe in states rights (even though they are trampled on today). I see the US Constitution, when prescriptive of governing powers, to restrain a federal government and state constitutions applicable to state governments.

    The Constitution provides an avenue to address issues of constitutionally, and this is the Judicial body. It is not up to the individual to trample the Constitution when things do not go their way, even if they were correct. The Constitution keeps things moving through the unjustness.

    I apologize if I sounded snippy towards your post.
