The “McCarthyism” movement is not as though there was no fire behind the smoke it reported, but that it didn’t point to any non superficial reason to refuse the fire.
As soon as we talk about something being un-American rather than being wicked or undermining righteousness, we have already conceded the matter to the arena of the ideas of men.
I kind of see a similar thing going on with the bathroom brouhahas. Boycott Target... and to hell with their employees who may have done nothing wrong... but larger sexual integrity? Oh no, we might be outed as hypocrites, we can’t touch on that!
I support Trump because an election is a binary choice. I am disgusted by the number of Catholics who write that if you vote for Trump, you are endorsing divorce, you are endorsing fornication etc, etc.
Such nonsense. If you vote for Trump you are voting to keep Hillary out of the White House. That’s all.
My big doubt about Trump is whether he has the philosophical and spiritual depth to understand what our battle is really against. Marxism. Satanism. Hatred of Jews. Hatred of Christians. Hatred of freedom.
I suspect, and hope, that Trump confines his comments to things like “stupidity” because he knows the public cannot go deeper.
If Trump is elected, then all that has really happened is that those who love freedom, and Christianity, and the United States, will have been given more time. The Marxist must be exposed and driven out of the institutions which they have infested over the past century. This is not something that is within the power of the chief executive or the government as a whole. It is something the people will do, or it will not be done.
I hope that Trump and the people around him realize that virtually all respectable institutions are their enemies. The Pope, virtually all Catholic Bishops and mainline Protestant clergy, and virtually all academics and journalists, and products of government schooling, are Marxist, anti-Christian, and anti-American.
Again: All the election of Trump means is a reprieve.
