Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man

Originally posted by Charles View PostAlways quite telling when you only adress one sentence and leave out important context. Here is the entire context. Feel free to adress what I actually wrote:
"Nope, I did not miss that. That was why I wrote: "It is not the words that are wrong but the application of them in which it is logically implied that if you are not a supporter of Trump, you are dishonest, a democrat or completely wrong." You seem to think that if I use words like "them" then I am doing what I blame others for doing. I have no problem with the use of those words. It is the "US vs. Them" logic that is the problem. The idea that if you find fault with Trump and think he should be removed, you must be one of "them", the Democrats. They (and yes I use that word and have explained why) do not leave room for them to be Republicans and Christians who honestly believe it as actually the best both for the Rebublican Party and for Christian testimony if Trump is removed.
Look at this sentence: "For Christianity Today to side with the Democrat Party in a totally partisan attack on the President of the United States is unfathomable." You see what happens? It is not that after Christianity Today has joined the critics that it is no longer "totally partisan". It is rather that in joining the attack (which in itself is a loaded word) they have become partisan. The idea that some could be in for a "totally partisan attack" while others honestly believe he should be removed is left out since it remains "a totally partisan attack" even after CT have joined and given their reasons for doing so."
Not all attacks on President Trump are partisan; this one, however, manifestly is.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Originally posted by KingsGambit View PostThere seems to be a significant leap between garden variety opposition to Trump (i.e. Sparko just labeled Mark Galli with the term) and the desire to commit physical assaults. Which is it? Is this an umbrella term that can cover all who oppose Trump, or does it refer to those with rage that leads to physical violence or personal harassment?

He fashioned it after the previous "Bush Derangement Syndrome" which he also coined.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
