AT Christ of Chaos, Dr. Thomas Droleskey strongly condemns the indecent language of Donald Trump and those who dismiss it as mere “locker room talk:”
No matter Donald John Trump’s remarkable thrashing of the Republican political establishment, committed as it has long been to conserving the welfare state, plundering the national treasury, refusing to protect the innocent preborn or to secure our borders, and to engaging in one needless, immoral, unjust and unconstitutional war after another, none of this will matter to him at the moment of his Particular Judgment as he is accountable for the example that he sets for others. A presidential candidate whose throat is an open sepulcher in public helps to reinforce the acceptability of profanity and indecency that is so widespread today in every aspect of what is called “popular culture.” The innocence of children is thus further undermined and reinforced.
No one can “make America great again” by speaking profanely.
Sure, there is a lot of hypocrisy from those who adhere to the false opposite of the naturalist “left” about Donald John Trump’s vulgarity and indecency.
So what?
There is also a lot of hypocrisy from those who adhere to the false opposite of the naturalist “right” as thy seek to excuse Trump for saying things that they would never tolerate in a William Jefferson Blythe Clinton.
Also, see Dr. Droleskey, in the post “Jorge’s Kind of Catholics,” on the scandal of the “anti-Catholic” e-mails released by Wikileaks.
Update: While I also condemn Trump’s vulgarity, I do not share Dr. Droleskey’s view that we must not vote for him. (more…)
