The US Election: what is more dangerous, a flawed character, or a flawed idea? A flawed idea.

 When it comes to the US election and character, Trump is completely shot through. Wherever we turn in his colourful life we find dismal flaws, especially when it comes to telling the truth.

 When we turn to Harris, we find a hard-working lady from a difficult background who has consistently championed worthy causes, such as limiting gun control, or improving medical care for the poor. Her character seems exemplary. She has one spouse, and is a fine mother to her two step children.

 If voting is about character, then it’s a no brainer. It has to be Harris.

 However politics is not just about people’s characters. It is about ideas, and if a person with a seemingly good character supports a bad idea, the results can be horrendous. Robespierre immediately springs to mind. He was not a flawed character. He was hard working, committed and no philanderer. And, like Harris, as a young lawyer, he opposed the death penalty. Fatally though he was a student of Rousseau, who advocated the false idea that there is a ‘public will’ of the people which had to rule, not kings or an aristocracy. Robespierre was Rousseau’s most faithful disciple, and the result was the terror.

 Harris is not obviously a flawed character, but she is a keen advocate of two terrible ideas, both robustly opposed by the Bible and the Christian-Judaeo tradition that underpins so much of Wester civilisation.

 One is abortion, the deliberate killing of an unborn child. The flawed idea here is that the mother has the right to choose (reproductive rights), whatever the outcome is for the child. Harris has toured 18 states, campaigning for abortion.

 The second is LGBTism. Harris is an outspoken advocate. Here there are at least three flawed ideas. One is that our identity is in our sexuality, and so if we are able to express this, so there is happiness and fulfilment. The second is that we are all born on a spectrum, we are all sexually diverse, some even are born in the wrong bodies. This is more dangerous, and sits in direct opposition not just to the reality of what the census show, so in the UK they are stubbornly heterosexual, there is no rainbow, and to the Bible’s declaration which is that God created mankind, male and female. A doctrine underlined by Jesus Christ. And the third is the myth that things must progress, and so marriage, people’s sexual lives, they can be improved. This explains why the violent and vulgar supporters of trans rights, talk about being on the right side of history.

 The results of abortion and LGBTism are miserable, easily seen in the steep rise in mental health problems, the withering of marriage, the decline of the family – and now the destruction of proper competition in professional sport. Wherever LGBTism is promoted so a darkening shadow rises over society.

 This is what Harris is supporting. Yes, her character easily outshines Trump’s; but anyone taking a sober look at history will soon conclude that Harris is much more of a threat to society than Trump is. She will – perhaps for another eight years – cement in the false ideas of ‘reproductive rights’ and LGBTism into the West. And, as sure as night follows day, just as there was for all those thousands who drank Rousseau’s poison, there will be a terrible day of reckoning.

 Trump on the other hand will oppose LGBTism, and provide some circus entertainment. He will then leave the stage. The idea that he could establish a hereditary dictatorship is fanciful. The constitution is set up to oppose any return to a monarchy. Think of most American films and who the bad guys are – it’s the English. Americans have not forgotten who their first enemy was.

 Trump will come and go.

 Harris will take the West much further down the dark tunnel of LGBTism.
