Texas Theocrat Says Voting For Trump Is OK Because God Has A Different Standard
David Barton, the Religious Rights favorite phony historian, says if you dont vote for Trump, God might hold you accountable.
Aug 15, 2016 by Simon Brown in Wall of Separation
David Barton, the Religious Rights favorite phony historian, is trying to sell his base on voting for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. But where most of Bartons allies have resorted to pumping up Trump by dumping on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, Barton acknowledges Trumps flaws but says they dont matter because Trump has been chosen by God to lead the United States.
Furthermore, Barton says, if you dont vote for Trump, God might hold you accountable.
Barton in late June asserted that God had a hand in the GOP primaries because there were so many God guys in it. In a recent teleconference hosted by former Republican presidential candidate Ben Carsons My Faith Votes, Barton warned evangelical Christians not to stay home on Election Day just because they dont like Trump or Clinton.
We will stand before God one day and answer for everything weve said and thought and done, Barton opined. [God will say,] I gave you your country, what did you do that with? Well, I didnt do anything because I didnt like any of the candidates. Really? You think God is going to buy that...Hes going to say, I gave you a vote. What did you do with that vote I gave you? Well, I couldnt use it for anybody."

Seems to me that "different standard" is one reason for the First Amendment's Establishment Clause...

(239 posts)Vote for the guy who committed adultery, lies constantly, is a racist, brags about all the women he has slept with, considers sleeping with all those women and getting VD compares to going to Vietnam, and untold other sins, because we all know that's the guy "GOD" wants us to vote for! How damned stupid can these idiots be?
