From where I sit, Graham has already decided on his own that Trump should never, ever be impeached.  Otherwise, why would he denounce as &quot;demonic&quot; those who are trying to do so?

Honestly, whenever anyone labels others as demons simply for having a different opinion, it&#039;s hard to me to give him much credibility.  I&#039;ve seen this done too many times, to too many compassionate and conscientious people.  I think Graham has lost whatever respect I had left for him -- which wasn&#039;t much.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Further, it demonstrates that Graham is only considering the actions of only those who attack Trump as demonic, but not of all Democrats. For example, he said positive things about Tulsi Gabbard.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly.  Those who agree with Graham -- that Trump did nothing wrong, and we should all just &quot;move on&quot; -- get his praise.  Those who disagree with him are labelled as &quot;demonic&quot;.  Graham seems to offer no possibility that he might be wrong about Trump, or that Democrats calling for impeachment hearings are doing their jobs, by trying to find out the truth and hold him accountable.

&lt;blockquote&gt;...that&#039;s why Graham is encouraging people to pray about it, without endorsing either Republican or Democrat politicians.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Except that Graham &lt;b&gt;did&lt;/b&gt; endorse Trump, by saying he&#039;s &quot;one of the great presidents of our country&quot; (*retch*) and by calling his opponents &quot;demonic&quot;.  After all, if demons are opposing a guy, then he must be God&#039;s man, right?]]></description>

&quot;Your own definition of love.&quot;  Excuse me, but everyone worships their own definition of whatever they worship.  They can&#039;t have any other concept but the one that they have.  They acquire this concept through learning.

A person who seeks to improve their understanding and practice of Love towards all mankind because they love love for its goodness, and another who seeks to improve their understanding of the God of Love and service to Him, are on the same path.  You can&#039;t walk the same path and reach different destinations.

God is bigger than a name or personal entity, He is beyond a force of nature, and He is the source of every good and pure concept is His very being.  That is why the only commandments Jesus gave were to Love.  He said if you did that, you have fulfilled the law.  Whoever fulfills the law is not condemned.

Remember, that when He healed the pagan Roman Centurion&#039;s &lt;I&gt;pais&lt;/I&gt;, that He said He had never seen more faith in all of Israel.  That would seem to include all His disciples and His own revered mother.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Love God (which you can do by truly Loving Love, or Goodness, for these are Him)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Don&#039;t you think it&#039;s the other way around? Love isn&#039;t God; God is love (e.g. He embodies, defines, acts out of love.) If you worship &quot;love&quot; you will almost inevitably worship your own definition of love and by proxy, a false god, as opposed to the true character and nature of the great &quot;I AM&quot; - the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob revealed in the Bible.]]></description>

Actually, based on what I&#039;ve seen from And I&#039;m Cute, Too, I learned that Graham is not perfect because he has made honest mistakes like dealing with that Iranian minister.  There were also some issues with Samaritan&#039;s Purse on financial front, but overall this organization has helped a lot of poor and sick people all over the world.  Here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritan%27s_Purse#Controversy
  Although his actions deserve constructive criticism and I appreciate that from Cute, Graham always meant well.  However, that CP article on him, demonstrates that he is not what most commenters here see about him.]]></description>

I&#039;m a very balanced person, and I have friends who are both socio-politically conservative and liberal because I found their values to be both helpful.  Who I can&#039;t stand are the extremists, both on the right and the left.  Obviously ken, DoctorDJ, and otrotierra are of the latter, but I&#039;m guessing what they do here is considered the norm, so I ain&#039;t planning on arguing about that.  It&#039;s a waste of time.]]></description>

King and Trump are not politically correct.  That does not make them racist.  As for Candace, I said above that I checked a thread dedicated to her and even commented there.  Basement Berean provided a video showing her in a positive light, but quite a few people did not like it.]]></description>

The CP article, as a whloe, does not make the claim that Graham believes that Trump is doing anything illegal. Further, it demonstrates that Graham is only considering the actions of only those who attack Trump as demonic, but not of all Democrats. For example, he said positive things about Tulsi Gabbard.  Overall, this article&#039;s main point is that only God can fix the mess we are in that has occurred because of Trump, that&#039;s why Graham is encouraging people to pray about it, without endorsing either Republican or Democrat politicians.]]></description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;...he admits that Trump has made mistakes...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And also says that it&#039;s &quot;demonic&quot; for Trump&#039;s political opponents to try and hold him accountable for those mistakes, if they happen to be illegal.

&lt;blockquote&gt;In his interview, Graham is not endorsing Trump either...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So he claims.  In the next breath, he crows that Trump is probably &quot;one of the great presidents of our country&quot;.  (Where&#039;s my barf bucket?)

&lt;blockquote&gt;...and he is praising some members of the Democratic party.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How?  By calling their actions &quot;demonic&quot;?  You have a funny concept of the word &quot;praise&quot;, Jason.

And anyway, Graham&#039;s melodramatic claim that Trump&#039;s impeachment &quot;could lead to civil war&quot; is simply ludicrous.  If the U.S.A. is so fragile that it can&#039;t withstand the political downfall of a racist, foul-mouthed, overgrown baby, then perhaps it&#039;s not worth preserving.]]></description>
