‘Christian Party’ Candidate Would Make Adultery Illegal

Darrell Trigg is running for president on the “Christian Party”.

…Trigg, an engineer from Rogersville, Tennessee, has announced he is running for U.S. president as a candidate of the Christian Party whose motto states: “Calm Strength – Implicit Faith – Fearless Courage — Confidence in God.”

…“The national religion of The United States of America will be the Christian religion,” he wrote. “Those belonging to other religions, such as Islam, will be free to live and worship here as now, with their own religion;  however, the Christian religion will be the one chosen to form the basic moral principles of our nation, to give it a strong moral foundation, and a right relationship with God.”

Trigg, whose candidacy for president is no less quixotic than Donald Trump or Carly Fiorina’s,  also called for mandatory teaching of the Bible in school, but at the same time advocated increasing school budgets and teacher pay.

          Remember the Dorothy Parker rejoinder?
          “Pearls before swine.”

            My favorite Dorothy Parker line is “If all the chorus girls in New York were laid end to end, I shouldn’t be at all surprised.”

    Seems the rwnj’s have dropped all pretense that they respect and revere the Constitution.

    Gawd denies having any involvement with Mr. Tripp.

    • Larry Schmitt August 25th, 2015 at 20:25

      I was talking to her just the other day, and she said “Who the f*ck is this a$$hole?”

      • bpollen August 26th, 2015 at 03:04

        Yeah, she’s a peach!

    Religion was deliberately denied a seat at our governmental table. Our founders wanted it kept as far from our government as they could throw it.

    What influence, in fact, have ecclesiastical establishments had on society? In some instances they have been seen to erect a spiritual tyranny on the ruins of the civil authority; in many instances they have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been the guardians of the liberties of the people. Rulers who wish to subvert the public liberty may have found an established clergy convenient allies.

    His motto…I’m not just a Crazy a$$ KKKristian, I’m a Mensa member too (or is that 2, or to, or two??? Doh!!!!)

    • Robert Kennedy August 26th, 2015 at 07:27

      Hey! I’m a former Mensa member and Trump’s followers, according to a just published study are 60% high school dropouts. Possibly a Mensa member or to dropped out of HS for economic reasons or deaths in the family, but even those dropouts are unlikely to follow Trump, except to laugh or jeer at him.

    And he has less chance of becoming nominated for the GOP candidate than Jane Fonda. Just ignore this noisy nobody.

    • Robert Kennedy August 26th, 2015 at 07:24

      I met Jane Fonda. She’s a very nice person and not at all impressed with herself, so she certainly couldn’t run for anything as a Republican, even if Viet Nam never happened.

    First there was the GOP clown car, now it’s being followed by the lunatic bus, and it’s filling up rapidly.

    I’d love to be around when this guy builds to a crescendo in his stump speech, climaxing with “and I’d make adultery illegal!”

    There went his audience, out the door, muttering, “I thought he’d go after the gays harder…”

    • whatthe46 August 25th, 2015 at 19:59

      laughing.

    • Larry Schmitt August 25th, 2015 at 20:26

      Adultery by gays would be doubly illegal.

  9. Tommie August 25th, 2015 at 22:41

    Sooooo did he not read the bible as a “Christians”, he will not win going against his God!

  10. granpa.usthai August 25th, 2015 at 23:19

    the “basic moral principles” of the white conservative christians in the state of north carolina is to lie and steal from injured workers who refuse to sign off on crooked agreements through the corrupt conservative christian industrial commission. so much for christian moral guidance of the white conservative christian god.

  11. jybarz August 26th, 2015 at 01:57

    I’d bet my bottom dollar that God asked him to run. Another chosen one amongst the GOP presidential candidates with God’s mandate.

    If he’s going to outlaw adultery, he’ll lose over half the Christian voter base. They live to sin and excuse it by saying “Jesus forgives me”.

    First, this is another religious right nobody who is totally unimportant. Second and of greater interest, adultery IS a crime in a number of states. In these states the statute remains on the books..it has not been struck down by appellate courts. It is very rarely prosecuted of course, even by bible-belt prosecutors, for reasons that are obvious. The Christian Dominationists of which this twit in this story is one would of course like it to be. In quite a number of other states the adultery statues have either been repealed or even ‘tho their remain on the books they are null because of having been struck down as I indicated above. For that matter, unmarried sex not involving adultery, is a crime in some states, “fornication” and once in a very great while it is prosecuted. Again, the religious right would love to have it widely prosecuted..just ask the Family Research Council or the American Family Assn., etc.

      An addendum: an internet search reveals this person, Trigg, was arrested about a year ago for aggravated kidnapping.

    It never ceases to amuse me — not amaze me, amuse me — that certain so-called “Christians” in America continue to show their utter ignorance of and/or contempt toward the U.S. Constitution’s strict prohibition on the establishment of any state religion (Amendment I) and on the imposition of any religious test as a qualification for any government post (Article VI, Section 2).

    It’s safe to say that Darrell Trigg is a Christian supremacist, who is to religion what the Ku Klux Klan is to race. His platform — which calls for Christianity to be the national religion of the United States — is not only blatantly unconstitutional, it’s also an open invitation to sectarian conflict.

    If Trigg honestly believes that the tens of millions of Americans of non-Christian religious faith — not to mention the growing population of Americans who have no preference for any particular religion — are going to tolerate the government favoring one religion over all others, then he’s totally divorced from both constitutional reality AND the reality of America’s religious and spiritual diversity.
