I think his point might be.. You're right, I don't care if Trump screwed around on his wife, or wives multiple times before he became president. But if you are going to be a party where you are afraid for the sanctity of marriage because gays want to marry, and you have a platform built on an image of moral superiority, then you probably should care that your candidate did.
You make a fair point that merits a more thoughtful response which at present I am not prepared to give as I was called in to work today. I will address this later when I get home.
Agnostic007, sorry I wasn't clear when I replied to your post who I was replying to.
First off, Trump didn't campaign on a moral platform but do I think my value system as a conservative
Republican is better than the Democrat's liberal platform. Of course I do. If I didn't I'd be a Democrat. And Democrats, and presumably you as well, think their value system is better than ours. That's why when they promote their values and beliefs it's called education and when we do it it's called propaganda and indoctrination even brainwashing.
Now if Trump doesn't live by all the value systems he promotes and I support him does that make me
a hypocrite? No. Have you ever supported anyone that practices 100% the values you support and he
preaches? God does not expect men to be perfect angels. One of the tenants of Christianity is that we are all flawed. That's what faith in Christ is for. I care less about what a person does in his personal life,
and there are many notable exceptions, than what he does vis-a-vis public policy. I wouldn't care as
much if Trump were gay than I would if he supported the gay agenda and sought to give gays special rights and privileges. I would sooner support a gay man than a straight man who promoted and supported special rights and privileges for gays.
And I don't know why you think that those who do not support same sex marriage is because we are afraid. My moral objection had absolutely nothing to do with public policy. It is a sin to Christians to commit adultery but I wouldn't want adultery to be illegal. My objection to same sex marriage as a matter of law and public policy was that I do not think the case was made to justify special rights for gays and redefining a solid, traditional institution. Once you make this step what's to prevent one to now allowing other forms of marriage such as polygamy or brother/sister marriage?
