The Morality of Voting for Trump

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.

That's a very thoughtful post. I once voted Libertarian when it was a semi-intellectually serious party. Now it seems to be Pothead Central.

I knew Trump would also be forced to run against the GOPee. I knew it would get ugly, but the shock-and-awe stuns even me.

All of us started the primary season with some level of awareness of...politics, if you will. From the start of announcements to last week has been a profound education, an awakening.

Anyone with a functional brain stem can see Obama and Hillary for their wannabe tinhorn dictator ambitions. Some are supporters who approve of authoritarianism as long as it's "for a good cause," IE 'our dictators.'

Supporters are those like Ayers who want to remake the world. There are those whose level of awareness runs to free Obamaphones and BLM...to college students too intellectually immature to form an independent opinion.

Then there are those I call the sheep. They learned what to 'think' in college; they had their programming installed. For the most part they're nice people, they pay their taxes and show up for work on time. They are the movement's "useful idiots."

They are the ones we have to reach if we're to turn the tide.

Someone recently posted the following quote from a mother: "'. . . I can't look my children in the eye and tell them I voted for Donald Trump,' she said.'"

What a shockingly naïve statement!!

If she doesn't vote for Trump, or fails to vote, how will she ever again explain to her children the value of truth, of integrity, of honesty?

Luke 16:10 - "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much." (NIV)

Dear gogeo,

re: ‘Ayers’, and ‘good cause’:

Mssr. Ayers is, and has always been a trained Communist plant.
He built bombs that killed cops in NYC. He spent time for it, and is un-repentant of his political views, still today. Somebody is protecting him from his rightful reward.

Now, ‘good causes’ are things that skilled movers and shakers utilize to yank at folks’ heartstrings under the guise of decency, religious righteousness, fair play, and especially, ‘we are our brother’s keeper’. “How would ‘God’ look upon us if we did nothing?”

And, of course, if we cannot become physically embroiled in the solution, the pitch is made that if we do not forfeit/contribute financially, we actually do not care what happens to/about ‘x’.

Or, lastly, ‘as a nation’, we must send our beloved military, to sacrifice their lives for ‘our adopted blessed cause of the moment’. Bosnia, Kosovo, Beirut, Iraq, Africa, and who knows where else where a dirty little war would become ‘the cause of the day’.

These are my ‘adopted good causes’:
1. Kill all the rioters, since they have destroyed the lives of people that are not connected to their brand of idiocy.
2. Ship all the mohammedans back overseas, or build a station for them, and them alone, in the wastelands of Alaska, a circumpheral 3 days ride from humanity, that they have to assemble brick by brick.
3. Remove all influence of the mohammedan stench from the federal government, down to the removal of mohammedan food laws enacted by the FDA.
4. There will be plenty of restorative work available in the 22 parishes of Louisiana effected by the flooding, including the rebuilding of 30000 homes, let alone all the brick and mortar businesses effected. Those on welfare, and able-bodied should be tasked to enjoin the reconstruction.

I am a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, and I know what it is to lose everything. And no, I had no means to leave the area. Remember, all Greyhound service both to AND from New orleans was shut down THE DAY BEFORE THE STORM WAS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE, and at the exact same moment, the mayor of New Orleans was telling everyone to leave the city.
