A Wikimedia Commons photo, by Gage Skidmore, of Pastor Robert Jeffress addressing the 2011 Values Voters summit. During his remarks, Pastor Jeffress\u00a0described Mormonism<\/a> as a \u201ccult\u201d and declared that voting for former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney would \u201cgive credibility to a cult\u201d \u2014 a position that he had first taken in the 2008 election. \u00a0Jeffress introduced then Texas Governor Rick Perry, calling him a \u201ca committed follower of Christ.\u201d Afterwards, he told reporters that he was planning to give a sermon the following Sunday in which he would talk about \u201chow a Christian should vote.\u201d One of the criteria for candidates would be \u201cIs he a Christian?\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I first noticed the prominent Southern Baptist leader Robert Jeffress back in 2007, I think, when he was an outspoken critic of Mitt Romney\u2019s Mormonism. \u00a0Now, of course, he\u2019s an ardent backer of the great Christian thinker and statesman Rev. Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n

Now, obviously, Miranda Blue is a leftist who wouldn\u2019t approve of my<\/em> failure to endorse homosexual acts, either. \u00a0But the fact remains that Pastor Robert Jeffress is a real piece of work:<\/p>\n
