A Presidential Candidate we need to nip in the bud

Posted on May 1, 2014 Updated on June 12, 2014

Reading the article below, you will see why wee need to nip it in the bud before it gets any further. To take away our Constitutional rights and then make laws that are human rights violations themselves, is just plain idiocy. We do not need another theocracy for us to run away from like we did when we first founded our stolen country. Do what you can to spread the word that you do not want a theocracy and that this candidate is a complete moron. If he get’s his way, we are all done for and our rights mean nothing!

ROGERSVILLE — Among Darrell Trigg’s goals if elected president of the United States in 2016 is to change the U.S. Constitution, eliminating “separation of church and state” and replacing that with “union of church and state.”

Trigg, who on Wednesday officially announced his candidacy for president, laid out his platform for a crowd of about 100 people at Thursday’s National Day of Prayer event in Rogersville.

He has several changes planned for this country if elected, not the least of which is making Christianity the official religion of the United States.

Under Trigg’s presidency the Bible will be a mandatory subject for K-12 students in public schools.

Marriage will be re-established as “Holy Matrimony” between a man and woman, gay marriage will be banned, and homosexuality “will not be recognized legally, or any other way.”

Adultery will be punishable by jail time and large fines.

Nudity will be banned from the Internet and television, as well as excessive violence, foul language, blasphemy, or any form of homosexuality.

Marijuana will not be legal except for medicinal purposes.

Trigg identifies himself politically as a member of the Christian Party.

“Islam and the Muslims will be more than welcome to worship here as they please,” Trigg said. “They’ll be loved as brothers and sisters in God’s kingdom. But, we have to have a religion to establish the backbone principles of this nation. We want that to be the Christian religion.”

Trigg also wants to bring back manufacturing jobs.

“We plan on putting tariffs on imported goods,” Trigg said. “Imagine if you go into Morristown tomorrow and every one of those furniture factories are up and running — what that would do to the economy of Morristown. What that would do to our nation.”

A Virginia native, Trigg has lived in Rogersville since 1987 with his wife, Lori. He was general manager and chief engineer of Short Mountain Silica in Mooresburg for 25 years and currently owns a professional engineering consulting firm.

“Proverbs 9-10 tells us the fear of God is the beginning of all wisdom,” Trigg said. “I’m a little ashamed to say, but a lot of our nation’s leaders have forgot what the fear of God is all about.”

Other changes Trigg has planned if elected president are:

 

• The income and other compensation received by managers and officers of publicly traded corporations will be limited to $300,000 per year.
• The income of coaches of sports teams at universities will be limited to $300,000 per year .
• The legal age for marriage will be 22, and a couple wishing to get married must first attend Christian marriage counseling classes. Divorce will only be allowed in cases of abuse, infidelity, or incarceration.
• The penalties for abuse and infidelity will include large fines and jail time. Married couples who become pregnant must attend Christian parenting classes.
• Abortion will only be legal in situations where the child has a small probability of living and the pregnancy is placing the life of the mother in extreme risk.
