The Morality of Voting for Trump
LifeZette ^ | Laura Ingraham

Posted on 08/14/2016 7:57:35 AM PDT by Pollard

Knowing what we know about Hillary Clinton and her plans for America, and the importance of the Supreme Court, we conservatives have a moral obligation to both oppose her and support Donald Trump.

This is the sentiment I expressed on Sean Hannity’s television show Thursday that has sent some #NeverTrump conservatives into a tizzy. Ben Shapiro is the latest in a long line of mostly Acela-corridor Republicans who spend much of their days “see-I-told-you-so’ing” about Trump.

Shapiro responded on behalf of Team #NeverTrump Friday in a piece titled “Hannity, Ingraham Say It’s Immoral Not to Vote Trump. Here Are 3 Reasons They’re Wrong,” published in the Daily Wire.

Here are his three arguments, none of which is persuasive:

I hope the public will wake up before it’s too late about the corrupt Media attempting to steal the election.

I don’t know how many people on here listen to Sean Hannity’s radio program, but yesterday he said something that I think people should know:

“All of the #NeverTrump people should remember some things, if Trump doesn’t win, you will be responsible for 4 more years of Obuma, you will be responsible for higher taxes, worse schools and education for our children and grandchildren, you will be responsible for more immigrants including Syrian Rufeegs coming into Our Country, you will be responsible for our Christians not being able to be Christians anymore, you will be responsible for higher food costs, lost jobs, worse health care than we already have...”

He went on with a lot more, but you get the idea...you know that Gary Johnson, Jill, or anyone else isn’t going to beat Clinton, the ONLY person who can beat Clinton is TRUMP...

Just a reminder to everyone what is at stake here in this election...side with the #Never Trump, side with Hillary or Make America Great Again with Donald J. Trump and Michael Pence...
****************************************************

Please read Trump’s response to the RINO’s.
“The names on this letter are the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place.

They are nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power, and it’s time they are held accountable for their actions.

These insiders – along with Hillary Clinton – are the owners of the disastrous decisions to invade Iraq, allow Americans to die in Benghazi, and they are the ones who allowed the rise of ISIS.

Yet despite these failures, they think they are entitled to use their favor trading to land taxpayer-funded government contracts and speaking fees. It’s time we put our foot down and declare that their gravy train is over: no longer will Crooked Hillary Clinton and the other disasters in Washington get rich at our expense.

Instead, I offer a better vision for our country and our foreign policy – one that is not run by a ruling family dynasty.

It’s an America first vision that stands up to foreign dictators instead of taking money from them, seeks peace over war, rebuilds our military, and makes other countries pay their fair share for their protection.

Together, we will break up the rigged system in Washington, make America safe again, and we will Make America Great Again.”

Donald J. Trump

I use an ad blocker, and had no trouble going to that website. According to my blocker, 27 ads were blocked.

It did for me, too. I found it’s best not to touch it while the ads load. Then they can be closed.

Let me tell you MY view of morality concerning voting for Trump.

BTW, for those lost on the term: “Acela-corridor Republicans”, ‘Acela’ is the name of a high-speed AMTRAK train that rides ‘The Northeast Corridor’ between Washington, D.C., and Boston (long deemed by The Smithsonian a ‘megalopolis’, or one huge hunk of one continuous city).

Now, my views:

1. I am a Diamond and Silk ‘ditch-n-switcher’ from The Libertarian Party, just prior to my state primary. I could not stomach a bovine-third-stomach regurgitated cud called Gary Johnson. (NWIH!!)

2. I am an American military veteran of The Cold War/Vietnam. It has been more distasteful, than that happy juice that doctors want you to ingest, prior to having a colonoscopy, to see how far towards any ‘ism’ that shackles people and robs them of the Freedom being introduced into America, that I fought to protect and preserve from this very thing. That deranged Hillary, and her psychotic predecessor Obama are both examples of totalitarian tinhorn wannabe dictators, aflame with their own fire.

3. Obama came with his ‘you make too much money’ (but look at what I’m getting), and his ‘you did not build that’ (Just watch me nationalize it), ‘the government wants to help you’ (we will subjugate you, and deny you your rights), ‘we must help the impoverished refugees’ (you can say nothing about where we will put them), ‘we need a national educational program’ (Stalin put the same thing in place in the post-war Soviet Union).

4. Hillary, insane with her greed, lust for power, and her own brand of self-love, will BUILD on these established building blocks of ‘rights denials’, while denegrating any others who were founders and shakers of America, as the next Soviet premier did concerniing the one just died or the previous ones. She has stated she would tax, tax, tax. She has stated that she would continue to enslave what once the free-est people in the world, AND the country people DIED attempting to get to!! (I say this in reference to the millions of Eastern Europeans and Russians, who died in their attempts to escape from the Communist Warsaw Bloc and Soviet Union.)

5. Lastly, it has been demonstrated, even within the last month, that ANYBODY that runs afoul of Hillary ends up somehow, DEAD. Can you imagine what insane style ‘pogrom’ might she unleash on ALL of those who openly oppose her, and have opposed her, with ANY traceability of discovery??

America, as I knew her, has been creeping to a Czechlosloviakian style of life, and it is time to STOP!

Whether or not a principle is true depends on the context. Normally honesty is a virtue in a rational society, but lying to a nazi or criminal is permitted if it will save the life of someone one loves. Loyalty to principles is the virtue of integrity. Normally integrity is a virtue in a rational society, but some lack of integrity is permitted if will save the life of the country one loves. In an emergency context, if honesty and integrity lead to destruction by evil, then they are neither practical nor rational and therefore are not virtues.

When a POTUS subverts the Constitution and isn’t brought to heel for it, it sets a precedent. The precedent Obama has set — and the precedent Hillary would avail herself of — is that we no longer have a tricameral government. The president now exercises unilateral control whenever and wherever he sees fit. He ignores both federal law and SCOTUS decisions as suits his whim.

Four more years of that and the country would be irrevocably damaged. Good-bye, USA. Hello, United Socialist States of America.

Trump in the Whitehouse = Hillary in Club Fed.

A lot of people say, “We survived 8 years of Obama. We can survive 4 of Hillary.” What they seem to forget is that if Hillary wins in 2016, we’ll have The Clinton Court in power through 2045 or later! Ask any doubting friends if they want to spend the next 30-40 years being ruled by Hillary Clinton, and how we would EVER undue that damage!

Trump’s response, that’s what real leadership looks and sounds like.
