Great video from Fox News. You should watch this, whichever side you are on.
Good piece from Slate.
I've been trying to get news and information from multiple sources lately. I spent some time on Fox News today. If that is what you read, then you get a very different perspective of what is happening. It completely reflects the president's perspective--ignoring and deflecting what is really going on; turning him into the victim and everyone else as the villain.
I can see that those who lean right and want to believe in him are having their view supported. One only has to read and listen to the president's words, past and present in press conferences and especially on Twitter, to really see what kind of person he is, and what his character is truly like.
Those who believe that he is an honorable, honest, caring, wise, compassionate person who wants to serve all Americans cannot or do not want to see the truth. It makes me sad that many people I know, who have many of those same qualities, support a man who has none of them.
It is sad that so many Christians support a man who clearly does not seek to honor Christ in his personal or professional life. Look at his history in business and personal relationships. He stated that he does not feel a need to ask forgiveness. He has been involved in shady business practices for decades. He pursues policies that hurt, rather than help, "the least of these."
He bullies people. every. single. day.
Many Christians support him for two reasons--he claims to be against abortion (I believe he takes this position for political power, not out of moral conviction--none of his expressed morals or values, past or present, reflect a concern for the lives of others), and he is against equality for people who are homosexual.
For many evangelicals, these are the only two issues that matter. They support a bully, a man whose policies and positions and morals fly in the face of the teachings of Jesus in almost every other area, because of those two issues.
Want to argue against me about his character? Good luck.
These are actual documented quotes from the president.
"You know, it really doesn't matter what the media write, as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass."
"I did try and f**k her. She was married. I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn't get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she's now got the big phony tits and everything. She's totally changed her look. I've gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It's like a magnet. Just kiss. I don't even wait. When you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything... Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything."
"The beauty of me is that I'm very rich."
"Before a show, I'll go backstage and everyone's getting dressed, and everything else, and you know, no men are anywhere, and I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it...You know, they're standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible looking women, and so, I sort of get away with things like that."
"Ariana Huffington is unattractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man--he made a good decision."
"Let's make a deal; if you promise not to get "personal" with me, I will promise not to show you as the crude, fat and obnoxious slob which everyone knows you are. Sincerely, Donald J. Trump." (letter to a journalist)
"Little Jon Stewart(?) Is a pussy, he would be hopeless in a debate with me!"
"If Hillary Clinton can't satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?"
"I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf."
