I remember all of the uproar when Reverend Wright's "God damn America" comments were aired. I remember how so many Conservatives were simply aghast at the thought that President Obama could attend such a church were such comments were made (even though Wright's comments were several years old). I also remember President Obama making a public apology and denouncing the actions of his pastor.
Contrast that with the hypocrisy of Trump's Access Hollywood tape of bragging about grabbing women by the "*****". At the time it went public - when his winning was doubtful - Republicans like McConnell, Chavitz and others were quick to denounce him. Once it started to appear that the tape wasn't going to sink his campaign, they all did 180 degree shift. So much for Christian conviction and morality.
Now, in all fairness, Trump did apologize for the comments. Sadly, he has digressed lately with ridiculous charges that it wasn't even his voice. So, this means that he actually apologized for something that he now claims that he didn't even say.....
Sadly, the Trump presidency has significantly lowered the level of what some in this country consider "Right and Wrong". Regardless of what economic positives the Trump administration may have accomplished, his degradation of our morality and perception of America abroad may be felt for many years to come..
"God Bless America in 2018". We are certainly going to need it.
