Voting for Trump?

  • Typically many Catholics fail to understand political struggle. In about ten days all the big names in European Nationalism are having a conference in Rome.  Voting Trump is the necessary strategy for now. It is time for the Christian Democrats even here in Ireland to move aside. The election of Trump and the conference in Rome is the new dawn. The Christian Solidarity party have their conference in Ireland. They will get about ten people attending.

    Though I am sometimes caustic sometimes mocking (sometimes an unabashed ass), this exchange/quibble that I have engaged Ladislaus in is not representative of my general impression of him.  I agree with him on many things and find his positions very well reasoned.  This HAS NOT been a "here we go again..." disagreement with some lunk-head that leaves me wondering who ties his shoes every time he opens his mouth (y'all know who you are).


    Nah, I don't mind someone going at me.  If I think that my positions are right, I'll just come right back at you.  No worries.

    At the end of the day, I will be voting Trump.  But my point here has been that I will not vote Trump based on the false Protestant moral reasoning that the world has tried to impose on us.  I categorically reject "lesser evil" reasoning as non-Catholic.  That's just Moral Theology 101 and is not that complicated.  I have been proposing that Catholics should think along the lines of double effect rather than "lesser evil", rejecting Protestant utilitarian "end justifies the means" reasoning.  You see, materially, I might come to the same conclusion (vote Trump) as someone else, but my decision would be completely different than that of the "lesser evil" crowd from the formal standpoint because of the principles I used to arrive at this conclusion ... and that makes all the difference in the world.  In addition, once the "lesser evil" mindset has gotten a foothold in people's minds, then it can filter down into other aspects of a person's mind and life and moral decision-making; so it's extremely pernicious and needs to be nipped in the bud.

    Isn't trump pro-LGBT?


    Trump is pro-States' Rights.  The establishment GOP goons in the primary twisted his position.


    I thought I saw a picture of him holding up an LGBT rainbow flag.


    I haven't seen that.  I heard him insisting that the restroom issue should be left up to the states and others twisting his words.

    Any thoughts on this one, mate?  Simple pandering, looking for some attention?  Or do you think he really cares about the rights of sodomites?  



     


    Looks to me like he is letting the fag community know that their entire community isn't against him.  A prudent political move.

  • Even if Trump were actively pro LGBT, I would consider that a double-effect scenario where I could still vote for him.

    Watch half of the country vote for her anyway.







    You are right.  Half the country, and many Catholics, will vote for her anyway.

    I have made up my mind that if she wins and I find out someone voted for her, I am going to shun the person completely.  Clearly, they are not responsible citizens nor could they be playing with a full deck.

    If both candidates are pro abortion, in my opinion  it would be immoral to vote for any of the 2.


    Well, your opinion is worth less than a single Cheerio that's been on the floor for 3 weeks. And I will treat it accordingly.

    For what it's worth, the same goes for Ladislaus OPINION and my OPINION. Unfortunately for you, we are not giving our worthless opinions, but rather the teachings of the One True Church on this matter.

    Opinions are like ...armpits (or some other, smelly part of the body)... everyone has one.. I mean "has them"... and they stink.

    The Catholic Church permits us to vote for "the lesser of two evils", but She does not command us to do so -- much less under pain of grave sin.

    I believe my opinion is more in line with the teaching of Caholicism, if you disagree with my opinion that's fine, but you haven't proved my opinion wrong, when has the Catholic Church taught it is ok for us to vote for someone who is pro abortion?  lesser of 2 evils is ambiguous , so my opinion still stands as most reasonable until you prove oherwise.

    As I've been arguing on this thread, you cannot in fact vote for an evil candidate in order to block a more evil candidate.  That's "lesser evil" and "end justifies the means", neither of which is permitted according to Catholic moral theology.  Double-effect does not apply because 1) the primary act, voting for the pro-abortion candidate, is evil (primary act must be good or indifferent and 2) the good effect cannot be caused by the evil effect (blocking the worse candidate, aka good effect, is caused by voting for the bad candidate (evil effect).  So this scenario most certainly fails the double-effect test.

  • More Wikileaks: Clinton Camp Linked to Satanism

    The Horn News

    11-4-2016

    https://thehornnews.com/wikileaks-clinton-camp-linked-satanism/

    It’s the most disturbing email released yet from anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks — and it directly links Democractic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta, and a Satanic “Spirit Cooking” ritual.

    This isn’t the stuff of fringe conspiracy theory lunatics. This bombshell connection between top Clinton aides and the occult is very real — and it’s taking the internet by storm. The hashtag #SpiritCooking became the top trending topic on the social media giant Twitter early Friday.

    The email reveals that Podesta, a close aide of the Clinton family, appears to have attended a “Spirit Cooking” dinner with his brother and their wives, hosted by an extreme occult performance artist named Marina Abramovic.

    But a “Spirit Cooking” dinner doesn’t include a sit-down dinner with turkey and red wine. It reportedly involves pigs blood, pentagrams, and self-mutilation. No, really.

    View image on Twitter

    The shocking email link to the Satantic practices couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Clinton campaign. Liberals were quick to dismiss the bloody practice as “performance art,” but religious leaders had already been speaking out, according to reports.

    The Huffington Post reported on Oct 16th that the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in San Diego had warned, “The devil does this through tactics outlined by Saul Alinsky with the outcome as Hillary Clinton stated ‘And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed,’ to draw us away from God’s teachings regarding the sanctity of life to those of the world and its prince.”

    Chilling? You’re not alone. The accusations are flying on social media as well.
