Re: Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Fox Commentary in 2016

Why was the FISA warrant necessary? From the same executive summary, on page ii soon after the previous quotation: The FBI assembled a Headquarters-based investigative team of special agents, analysts, and supervisory special agents (referred to throughout this report as "the Crossfire Hurrica...

Re: Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Fox Commentary in 2016

Wasn't the FISA warrant on Carter Page the basis for the surveillance and investigation into Trump's campaign? From the executive summary of the Horowitz report : The FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016, just days after its receipt of information from a Friendly Foreign Government (FFG)...

Re: Lancaster County

I was also going to recommend Muddy Creek Farm Library. Does anybody know if Amos B. Hoover is there on any regular basis? If he is, it would definitely be worthwhile to visit while he's there.

Re: False Idol — Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump

This is Amhari's position in a nut-shell as I understand it: Honest question—how is this position distinct from theonomy? It certainly seems to tend in that direction, if nothing else... (And just to be clear, I acknowledge that you've presented Ahmari's views, not necessarily your own, HK.) ------...

Re: False Idol — Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump

Government is ordained by God with specific purposes - among them is to punish evildoers. How is a government supposed to recognize what evil is and thusly punish it? What makes some governments more good and others less so? (or perhaps by your standards, less evil and more evil?) I would really lo...

Re: False Idol — Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump

The debate that National Conservatives and the editors of First Things are fostering is important and necessary, it is decidedly not about "power and control" and has nothing to do with "Trump worship" as you so blithely refer to "much of the Christian Right". Rather i...

Re: False Idol — Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump

Thanks to HK for once again bringing substance to MN. Brendan Michael Dougherty at the National Review has a spot-on piece as it relates to Trump and Evangelicals that seems to understand Trump's support among the religious right in a way that the discussion here isn't quite grasping because so few ...

Re: False Idol — Why the Christian Right Worships Donald Trump

Are there strong supporters on this forum? .. maybe one i can think of. not sure about that one, either. What distinguishes MN's non-strong Trump supporters from strong Trump supporters? maybe more than this, but in my mind, attending political rallies, donating, joining parties, wearing MAGA hats,...
