Quote:Surely those people that Hillary Clinton has called 'deplorable' are simply deplorable in their political judgment They may be loving parents who take care of their kids. They may volunteer much in local good works. They may be doing the thankless task of taking care of an incontinent, demented parent. They may give heavily to charity. They might be wonderful workers on their thankless jobs. Even so their political judgment may go beyond deplorable to downright execrable.
But privately helping a few - and a few of the same race and religion as you - while vehemently opposing public policies that help the many, including (mostly) those different from you, is deplorable.
"These, and many other matters which might be noticed, add a volume of unofficial declarations to the mass of organic utterances that this is a Christian nation" - Justice David Brewer, Church of the Holy Trinity v. United States, 1892
