The Israel vs. Palestinian war.
Yes, Hamas are Muslims, but for the most part the side with the higher ground, more reason for sympathy, etc. is CLEARLY Hamas in this particular war.
Fox News and the Republicans: 100% for Israel
the Left and Democrats in general: pro-Hamas
Who is right? The Left and the Democrats. IN THIS ONE ISSUE ONLY.
Just goes to show you: the 2-party system is fake and useless for Traditional Catholics. Don't ever forget it, or confuse our Trad cause with the "Republican party" or their cause. Yes, we agree more about abortion, but only slightly. Most Republican politicians aren't against ALL abortions. So they have minimal principles involved.
When it comes to war, the Republicans can barely be voted for without sin. In the last 4 decades of America, the worst military atrocities and aggression have occurred under REPUBLICAN presidents.
How many of you know what White Ph0sph0rus is, or what it does? America funded and/or provided it to you-know-who in the Middle East, to use in their atrocities against their enemies.
So even if the Republicans align with our views more than the Dems, don't ever forget that NEITHER one aligns perfectly, and that BOTH SIDES have some good points and virtues.
I bet I could think of more things I agree more with the Democrats than the Republicans. Being eco-friendly, frugal, reduce/re-use/recycle, being anti-materialist. Sure, many of these Democrats are also pro-marijuana and/or New Age, but their position on consumption is MUCH more in line with a Trad Catholic outlook on material things.
And how is mainstream Protestant (typical Republican) any closer to my religious beliefs than New Age? Both are absolutely insane if you think about it. Have you ever BEEN to a Protestant megachurch? Just as crazy if not more so than some yoga-practicing, hemp-using woman who doesn't use artificial shampoo or chemicals and who is into crystals.
