This Christian thanks McCrory for HB2

I thank Pat McCrory for the HB2 law. He is the only one in the political party with common sense.

I am a Christian. Our rights are being taken away, and that’s not good. If the transgender, gays or lesbians howl discrimination, even if they are just one or more, they rush to change the laws, and that is not fair. If something is that important, we need to vote on it.

We Christians are being discriminated against every day and our leaders could care less because they don’t like for us to say the word, “Jesus.”

Obama and Hillary say they are Christians, but I have never seen a Christian that believes in same-sex marriage and transgender people using the bathroom of their choice. My Bible tells me this kind of lifestyle is wrong (Romans 1:24-32).

If I had children in school and transgender children used the bathroom of their choice, I would keep my children at home and would hope all parents would. I don’t hate these people, but I do pray for them.

Roy Cooper thinks it’s OK. All he thinks about is money being lost in North Carolina. You are not supposed to put money before what is right. If these companies don’t like the HB2 law, let them build transgender people a bathroom of their own.

Obama and Clinton are so ungodly, I believe they hate America. They can’t tell the truth about anything.

Last night she said it’s OK for an abortion of a late-term baby. How cruel. Look at her emails. More lies. I think she needs some mental help. If Obama and Hillary don’t change a lot, I sure would hate to be them on Judgment Day, for the Bible says every knee shall bow and every tongue confess.

‘Trick’ was in poor taste

I’m usually not one to comment or argue politics. However, I do have a strong opinion about people who deliberately show their ignorance and disrespect by trying to cause trouble at public gatherings.

Last Friday’s little “trick” that the Cardelle sisters pulled was not funny, as they stated — but in very poor taste.

If they don’t support Mr. Trump and his party, they should not have attended the Trump rally last Friday at Thelma’s Restaurant. Instead they showed up wearing shirts with the words, “Latina Contra (against) Trump” but hid the message with outer clothing until it was photo time.

They were either trying to stir up trouble or claim their 15 minutes of fame -— or maybe both. Well, congratulations, girls — some Twitter fans loved your prank. Others did not.

I’m not saying who I will be voting for in this election, but I promise you it won’t be for a dishonest, greedy, lying “pantsuit”!

I don’t plan to attend any political rallies myself. I will just be so happy when this election madness is over! The mute button on my television remote control is nearly worn out!
