Vander Pants wants GOP to line up behind Trump

Ol Bob wants Republicans to all line up and support Trumpsterfire;

Vander Plaats wrote a blog post on the Family Leader website about his trip to New York City where he saw Trump at a meeting of faith leaders. Vander Plaats described the interview with Trump as a "safe environment" with no media, scripted questions and a friendly moderator in Trump supporter Mike Huckabee.

"Mr. Trump provided hope for these leaders as he spoke boldly for religious liberty, for ending the Johnson Amendment (which threatens churches that engage in politics with losing their tax-exempt status), for standing with Israel, for repealing Obamacare, and for insisting on the appointment of constitutionally minded Supreme Court justices," Vander Plaats writes.

Vander Plaats said his biggest concern was seeing Trump supporters and Trump critics attacking each other.


There's nothing Christian about this horse's ass.

Getting rid of the Johnson amendment would make church and religion more divisive than ever.

I'm hardly a religious person, but I do find it fascinating that Christians of a variety of political stripes (albeit limited) can actually put aside some of their differences while in their house of worship. I know a lot of Christians who cringe when politics comes up in church. They prefer the two stay separate.
