"As grateful recipients, and now custodians, of the theological, ethical, and political legacy of the German pastor-theologian and Nazi resister Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we believe all persons of faith and conscience should prayerfully consider whether our democracy can endure a second term under the presidency of Donald Trump. We believe it cannot. In 2017, we issued a statement expressing our grave concerns about the rise in hateful rhetoric and violence, the rise in deep divisions and distrust in our country, and the weakening of respectful public discourse ushered in by the election of Donald Trump. We articulated the need for Christians to engage in honest and courageous theological reflection in the face of the threat posed by his leadership. Over the last three years, the need for such discernment has grown more urgent."

The signers of this statement are not megachurch pastors, powerful leaders of religious institutions, or influential figures to whom the media typically pays attention. Rather they identify themselves, "As Bonhoeffer scholars, religious leaders, and confessing Christians," who have "a special responsibility to name crises and discern responsible actions of resistance and healing."

The spiritual vs the religionists.

Ok, I have completed an honest and courageous reflection and have concluded progs represent the gravest threat to our country. They are the ones who wish to grow our gov't so as to exert ever more control over our lives. Trump is trying to decrease the size of the gov't. That was a useful exercise. My thanks to the Bonhoeffer folks. Too bad progs cannot do this reflection as they are neither honest or courageous.

Tpapschmear thinks Trumputin is our new Messiah.

What a clueless, actually laughably stupid widdle porker.
His putie loving fat messiah has attempted to upset the carefully crafted system of checks and balances built in to the greatest document of democracy in world history at every turn. That was written by the smartest most enlightened group of statesmen in world history. Period.
It has been the shining light for hope and freedom in history.
For his own personal swinish personal gain, and to please his Stalinist puppeteers.
The Stalinists and Nazis were allies folks.
Great article, bless them, btw. Good post, Sir Slimy....
Actual loyal American patriots must and will work in unison to remove this malignant orange vermin. And his ignorant barnyard menagerie of sheeps, poultry, dead redtide mullets, slugs, snails, rodents, lemmings.
And peeyugs.

Here is a quote from Bruno Rixen. He designed and built that cable waterski system on 528 just west of the airport. We fed him coupla beers at his similar facility in Deerfield Beach.
Busted out his national socialist card, still in his wallet.

"Hitler did great things for Germany, at first....
He was just misunderstood, that's all....."
Good people on both sides.....
