“I’ll be direct and blunt: I don’t trust the man, at all. I like what he says, and I enjoy him giving all the “right people” their comeuppance; but Trump is in it for Trump (and he admits that proudly). I don’t trust him to fight the unyielding fight against abortion, or forcing nuns to cover contraception in their health insurance, or the homosexual lobby, or any other “merely social evil”. If Trump sees an opportunity for Trump, then he may well fold—excuse me, “strategically reorganize”—on those issues.”

I am with you on these issues but I recognize the bigger issues facing us right now. If this country isn’t righted, if the circling the toilet boil isn’t stopped, there won’t be a country left in which to fight abortion or health insurance or homosexual lobby, can you see that?

I have to disagree that "fiscal is more important than moral". Yes, the fiscal situation is critical and dangerous... but so is the moral. I'm of the opinion that we don't bring money with us when we die, and that it's better to be poor and righteous than rich and corrupt. It'd be far better for the USA to become the financial equivalent of Ethiopia and become morally upright, rather than keep relative financial comfort and go to hell in a handbasket, murdering millions of children and spreading sexual perversion by the truckload.

In short: if the moral situation isn't righted, it won't make a d*mn bit of difference whether the budget is balanced or not. If we buy our prosperity by relegating child-murder and sexual perversion to second-tier (or lower) issues, we DESERVE to collapse, as a nation. God doesn't want our prosperity; he wants our integrity. Without God, nothing else matters... and God is utterly concerned with our moral choices, and utterly UNconcerned with our financial comfort/stability.
