Conservative Christians Express Frustration Toward Congressional Republicans
Source: NPR
Conservative Christian activists are in Washington for the annual Values Voters Summit. It should be a celebration of sorts with Republicans in full control of the federal government. But some people are angry. NPR's Susan Davis reports they say Republicans in Congress aren't doing enough to support President Trump.
SUSAN DAVIS, BYLINE: Frustration at Congress is so prevalent at this gathering. Even lawmakers are piling on, like North Carolina Republican Mark Meadows, who compared his colleagues to the shells in a shotgun.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
MARK MEADOWS: All the shells look exactly the same. In fact, you can put them in, and as you shoot, well, occasionally you come across one where you pull the trigger, and it's a dud.
DAVIS: The duds, Meadows said, are the ones resisting President Trump's agenda, like those who oppose the effort to repeal the Affordable Care Act. And what should these values voters do with the duds?

Congressional Republicans, as well as Democrats, are elected to represent their constituents. Trump's "base" is comprised of about 35% of the American people, and those are the only people he's even considering serving with his "agenda". If Congressional Republicans choose to only represent those 35% of Trump's "base" (how apropos that word is to describe them!) they won't be in their Congressional office very long.
Trump doesn't realize that 35% is not greater than 65%. He firmly believes that 35% is a mandate, and he's working only for them, and of course, himself.
And what are these religious swindlers doing petitioning the government anyway? Tax the ever loving shit out of them. If they want to stick their religious noses into state business, the state should tax them for that privilege, just as they tax every citizen living here. The 'god squad' shouldn't be anywhere near the White House or Congress. That they are there burns my ass. 
Trump and these religious charlatans do have a lot in common though. They're both trying to sell bullshit to unwary, often uneducated 'customers', and they're both getting rich in the process. 
by traditional definitions, they are neither conservative or Christian, and do not embrace many modern traditional American values.
Send them all home with four Pinocchios. 
(He not my president----------loser) is going to kill people...............think you got your priorities wrong, fucking assholes.
No thanks!
