Trump and His Judges, One for Conservatives and One for Gay Activists
By Julio
Severo
When an issue involves moral and Christian
values, to please both sides is a political strategy, not a conservative strategy.
U.S. President Donald Trump has just done it. According to the prominent
conservative website LifeSiteNews, in a report titled “Trump
picks openly gay member of LGBT law group for liberal Ninth Circuit court,”
Trump has chosen Patrick Bumatay, “Another homosexual judge with ties to a LGBT
legal group.”
Trump has nominated
a variety of pro-homosexual officials to various government posts and continued
a number of Obama-era pro-LGBT policies, such as the
U.S. State Department pressuring other nations to embrace the homosexual
ideology.
Trump publicly
praised the pro-LGBT group Log Cabin Republicans in January, and declared
after the election that a Supreme Court’s 2015 ruling, under Obama, forcing
all fifty states to recognize same-sex “marriage” was “settled law.” This is,
he has no intention to fight to protect traditional marriage against the
onslaught from homosexual activists and their conquers during the Obama
administration. How different from Obama, who had all will-power to fight
against the traditional marriage.
Yet, U.S. conservatives could think, at
least Trump gave us Brett Kavanaugh, a strong conservative judge, did not he?
Actually, there were more conservative
judges and Kavanaugh was initially opposed
by the conservative group American Family Association because he was not so
conservative. In the end, conservatives had to accept Trump’s pick, because it
is better a man with some conservative values than another gay activist, and
Trump has shown no qualms to appoint gay activists.
Trump
has a history of pleasing both sides. In the past, he donated to Planned
Parenthood, the biggest network of abortion clinics in the U.S., and at the
same time to Billy Graham! It is akin to praising God and Satan at the same
time.
Support of sodomy is something very
serious. It destroyed a whole society, Sodom. In fact, sodomy has already
undermined the institution of marriage in the United States, and its current president
is willing to do nothing to reverse the gay subversion of marriage.
Probably, no one explained better Trump’s
politics, or American politics, than Chuck Baldwin, a patriot U.S. evangelical
minister. In his article “What
You Don’t Know About Brett Kavanaugh Can And Will Hurt You,” Baldwin said,
Conservatives
and Christians are wildly ecstatic that Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed by the
U.S. Senate as the newest justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. To hear all of the
euphoria over Kavanaugh’s confirmation, one would think that he was heralding
the Second Coming. He’s not. But his appointment does herald other things—many
of them BAD.
First,
let me briefly discuss the Democrat and Republican rancor that was put on
public display during the confirmation hearings. As I have tried to point out
to the American people over the past several decades, the entire left-right,
liberal-conservative, Democrat-Republican paradigm is pure propaganda. It is
nothing but public theater. Both parties use the “us vs. them” demagoguery as a
way to keep their constituents who buy into the charade happy enough to keep
electing and reelecting them to public office.
To
use an analogy that many sports fans can identify with right now, the
Democrat-Republican rivalry is tantamount to the New York Yankees and Boston
Red Sox rivalry. Each side is cheering like crazy for their team and rabidly
booing the other team. But both teams are playing the same game; they are
throwing and hitting the same ball; and they are running the same bases. It’s
pure entertainment. And that’s what the two major parties in Washington, D.C.,
are doing. They root and cheer for their party and boo and hiss the other
party, but they are playing the same game. It’s pure entertainment.
The
left-right rivalry is pure theater. It’s not about the Constitution, the Bill
of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, truth, freedom or the American way;
it’s all about political power. Oh, there might be a handful of hardcore
liberals and conservatives who are truly driven by ideology, but what drives
the vast majority of these miscreants—otherwise known as politicians—is power:
pure, unabashed, raw power.
The
other thing that the Democrat-Republican phony rivalry does is obfuscate the really
important developments that are taking place that neither party wants the
American people to know about.
For
example, while most Americans were transfixed on Brett Kavanaugh… They didn’t
notice that the GOP and Donald Trump passed a massive $854 billion spending
bill that fully funds Planned Parenthood and fetal tissue research. They
didn’t notice that the government’s annual spending report came out and Trump and the GOP exploded the federal deficit by over $1
trillion.
Baldwin
then shows that Kavanaugh’s record is not so conservative, a fact that every true
conservative already knows, and he asks why Trump fiercely defended Kavanaugh against
the same sexual accusations that Judge Roy Moore, who is much more
conservative, suffered from the all left-wing universe, but with no Trump’s
defense:
…
one of the most egregious hypocrisies of President Trump and Republicans in the
U.S. Senate: How was it that Trump and the GOP sat back and did absolutely
nothing to assist Judge Roy Moore when he was accused of decades-old sexual
improprieties? Trump and the GOP left Judge Moore to be devoured by the wolves
but then came to a ferocious defense, like a hornet’s nest defending its queen,
when Kavanagh was accused in similar fashion. Why? Huh? Why?
Conservative Christians should not support
any item of the homosexual agenda just because Trump is being irresponsible in
this issue. It would be the same as a Christian supporting adultery and murder
just because King David adulterated with Bathsheba and had her husband killed.
Yes, David was a man after the heart of God — something that Trump is very far
from being. But when he adulterated and killed, he did the will of the devil.
Let's not use Trump's bad example to justify homosexuality or gay activism.
