You are mixing religion with politics.....he refused to tow her after a wreck due to the political stickers...had nothing to do with religion
Really? NOTHING to do with religion?
“I’m a conservative Christian, I’ve just drawn a line in the sand,” he said. “I’m not going to associate or conduct business with them.”
"Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave," said Ken Shupe of Shupee Max Towing in Traveler's Rest, S.C..
As per usual, taking quotes out of context.
Here is EVERYTHING he said:
“Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave,” Shupe said. “And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed.”
He's crediting "the lord" with giving him the strength to stand up for something he believed in - in the same way some people who say, lose a lot of weight, credit "the lord" with the strength required.

Well, Ive been called worse...and I would likely break out a lawn chair if you were on the side of the road being mauled by a bear.....64oz whizzer cup from the 7-11...little bit of popcorn. Hey not my place to intervene with nature, you likely pissed off the bear first. How am I to know. Besides American culture is to not get involved, rather film it and post on YouTube right?
Sorry not backing any horse, just saying he was within his legal right to do what he did. And the thing about principals is they represent the moral values instilled upon any one individual. I said right and wrong were a matter of perspective. In my view I live in a nation full of prey, because they choose to be prey. You may not like me, but I am fair. And in this world fair is enough.
And don't confuse principals with passion or dogmatic belief. 3 different horses there chuck.

Lol, it is not like Liberals who see anyone with a Trump ad, or Trump bumper sticker would do any better...
Not that what that trucker did was right, but not all conservatives are like that... It's funny how liberals continue to try to make these false claims...

Exactly this, this is the meat of it. Political, not religious. There is a distinction.
