The GOP: A 'Vehicle' for RC Concerns or a Moral Disgrace? | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: In the last article, Williamson was being a neo-conservative - following the same logic that zionists use toward the occupied territories. What he suggests, of course, is entirely a war crime under the Geneva Accords. So is most of how Palestine is treated, but MSW would never admit the equivalency.
As for both authors, they were characterizing Trump supporters, not those who would run another candidate - rumor has it that a lot of former Romney and Santorum delegates have been appointed as Trump delegates - so expect a rule change allowing delegate freedom of choice on the first ballot. The charaterization of the white working class essentially calls them White Trash, which in the case of Klan members supporting Trump may be apt. They justify their place in society by feeling that Latinos and African Americans are inferior - and Trump feeds their justification, which keeps them under control. The Catholic Church has abetted such attitudes with its condemnations of socialism - which would actually help some of these people better their lives. The fact that many socialists are atheists do not damage the justice of their cause, which is why most Catholic social teaching is akin to Democratic Socialism. Feel the Bern.
