I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

I believe you've hit the nail on the head, Lin. "When Reagan jumped in bed with Ralph Reed - movement conservatism with the religious right - all manner of economic favoritism and social bigotry became the party platform. The main planks being voter suppression and contempt for the law. The hollowing out of the three pillars of our democracy - equality before the law, equal representation and separation of church and state." This brings me back to Reagan's repeated statement concerning his beli…

Herman Talmadge died a Democrat, defeated by Republican Mack Mattingly after "Hummun's" financial cheating with his second divorce was revealed. Both Russell and Talmadge were fine with the Democratic platform except for its insistence on racial equality.

My mistake: it was Strom Thurmond from South Carolina who went to the republicans. Thank you for the correction.
