\u201cWhat does concern me is that there is a new poll out showing that 35 percent of Americans are pure resistance; they are not going to accept Donald Trump whatever he does, they have made up their mind that he is not a legitimate president and they are going to resist him at all costs,\u201d Land said. \u201cNow, there is a name for that, it\u2019s called insurrection.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is interesting. After all, a lot of Baptists want Russell Moore, the present<\/i> head of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, removed because during the recent campaign he was frankly opposed to Donald Trump.
