Trump supports Christian positions

-

In his Sunday op-ed “Trump’s baked-in support not hard to explain,” Hugh Hewitt commented on the progressiv­es’ surprise at the continuous support for President Trump by the Christian community. The surprise is somewhat reciprocal in the face of some conservati­ves’ refusal to support this administra­tion.

From the perspectiv­e of practicing Christians, what alternativ­e do we have? Unless I am missing something, the only available alternativ­e is the Democratic Party. What that would mean is the prepondera­nce of the abortion license for any reason or for no reason up to and including partialbir­th abortion; support of homosexual marriage; strengthen­ing of feminism; relative neglect of boys in family and society; downgradin­g of the role of the father in both family and society; continuous promotion of sexual license in society; continuous attacks on the First Amendment to the Constituti­on — freedom of religion and freedom of speech.

As of late, the Democratic program also includes the attacks on the police, and advocacy for open borders and illegal immigratio­n. And the latest addition: disrespect for the flag and the national anthem. The progressiv­e program, it seems, is to go full speed forward, setting society in a free-falling condition of disintegra­tion with nowhere to set a foot and stop.

In brief, and to the contrary, where would we find support for strengthen­ing the foundation­s of society, religion, family, and country? The choice, I submit, is starkly clear.
