A Hillary blast from the past (from my evergreen post “Progressives and The Proper Role of Government – and your subservience to it“:
“Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will. And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”
And the Left looks at that and their heads nod up and down – coerced beliefs. After all, they believe they are morally superior to we Deplorables. With that attitude, the Left still doesn’t get, then, why Evangelicals are supporting Trump even MORE than before the election. Well, let me clue you in with these bon mots which put it well (emphasis mine):
…The rising support from the evangelical community marks a sea change. It’s impossible to think of an earlier president that could thrive in the face of the continuous stream of ginned up scandals that president Trump has. I’d argue that this isn’t a change in morality but rather a change in what can be expected of politician and the role of the president in insuring public morality.
Reading that you have to take away [that] people are more concerned about having a nation where a Godly life can be led, rather than having a personally pious leader who isn’t doing much to help people lead a good life.
Hillary made it quite clear – she and the Democrats that supported her were quite open that those “concerned about having a nation where a Godly life can be led” were not going to be allowed to do just that. Instead, a national Progressive religion was to be imposed unilaterally because Democrats (another example being Obama with his bitter clingers statement) hate anyone that doesn’t think and believe the way they do. This is King Nebuchadnezzar all over again.
Trump is not the typical Evangelical (if he is at all) but one thing is clear – he may not live the walk himself but his policies are protecting our talk and our walk. Letting us do that is sufficient because the alternatives are far, far worse.
We have come to the European religious wars, sideways, that our forefathers despised when they left Europe to come to “the land of the Free”.
