Jerry Falwell Jr.: Trump is the Churchillian leader we need

In the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections, American voters were forced to choose between a liberal Democrat and weak establishment Republicans. Democrats won both times. In the 2010 and 2014 midterms, tired of the leftist agenda, voters sent an unmistakable message to Washington: Republicans took control of the Senate and filled more seats in the House than at any time since 1929. Still, nothing changed. In 2016, we have a clear choice. This moment is historic because Donald Trump is not another establishment Republican.

The policies of Obama and Clinton have made the world unstable and unsafe and created a world stage eerily similar to that of the late 1930s. We could be on the precipice of international conflict like nothing we have seen since World War II. Obama and Clinton are the Neville Chamberlains of our time. The deal to make $150 billion available to Iran, the leading state sponsor of terrorism in the world and a nation committed to the destruction of Israel, clearing the way for Iran to become a nuclear power, reminds me of Chamberlain’s deal with Hitler in 1938, when the British prime minister declared “peace for our time.”

Thank God we now have the opportunity to elect a strong leader, one who is not afraid to call the enemy by its name and to take the battle to that enemy if necessary.

We are at a crossroads where our first priority must be saving our nation. We need a leader with qualities that resemble those of Winston Churchill, and I believe that leader is Donald Trump. As Churchill did, Trump possesses the resolve to put his country first and to never give up in a world that is increasingly hostile to our values...

A vote for Donald Trump and Mike Pence is a vote for more freedom and less government, a vote for national security and responsible immigration policy, a vote to finally fight radical Islamic terrorism. It is a vote to rebuild America’s respect overseas and a vote for strict-constructionist and pro-life Supreme Court justices....

Wasn't Churchill a bigoted old drunk who was responsible for fucking up the postwar world?

He was an alcoholic, no question.

I'd like to hear the conservative take on Falwell. Because I do recall that when Trump went into a snit over Papa Frankie's comments re: building a wall, the cons were all over it, complaining that he should keep his nose out of politics.

That was...different.

Yea well Mr. Falwell's family has direct connections back to the KKK when they started the KKKhristocapitalist movement. The KKK just didn't disappear too but it's obviously where the went to.

You look at Graham, Falwell, Roberts, Robertson, etc and there fathers all have direct connections to the KKK when it filed for bankruptcy in the 1950's. Many of the leaders of the KKK seamlessly transferred to the rising fundamentalist movement in the South and provided much of the grass roots opposition (and still do) to the civil rights movement.

So does it surprise any one when a dreg of society like Jerry Falwell, Jr. supports an autocratic demagogue like Trump?

We must beware of trying to build a society in which nobody counts for anything except a politician or an official, a society where enterprise gains no reward and thrift no privileges. - churchill :)
 
In 1937, he told the Palestine Royal Commission: "I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."

yup! if the indians wanted to avoid genocide they could have stopped the illegal immigrants from the beginning.

Would you say that if the Jews had wanted to stop the Holocaust they could have stopped the Nazis from the beginning?

Look at her having a 'normal' conversation with the troll.

These people are all in the same social class and their strength is gathered within their mobs.
 
The indians could have just not given food during that first winter.

Think that would have stopped the illegal immigrant invasion of America?

You have an infantile grasp of history.

Plenty of refugees were looking for a place to flee to at the time, due to militant religious zealotry, and more ships would have arrived from Europe bearing their deadly cargo of Euro-centrics seeking brown people to rob, rape, and exploit.

The evangelicals are in full force with their support of Trump. They stayed home in droves last time because of the coward Romney.

Trump isn't their spiritual leader but rather their governmental leader .. hopefully. This is something you knee jerk collective minded leftists cannot comprehend. You can only instead paint Trump as somebody who will ruin your sex parties.
 
Trump is like Churchill. Churchill saved western Christian civilization with his leadership and his courage and Trump is indeed in the process of repeating the feat.
