No, you are engaging in tu quoque all throughout this thread. I am not the goddamn topic of this thread no matter how much you want to make it about me.
That is a deflection.
You are the author of this thread and are subject to the same amount of criticism as your points are. You committed three argumentative fallacies, 1) you employed guilt by association, 2) you engaged in non causa pro causa (false cause) arguments, and 3) used hasty generalization fallacies to say that if we conservatives vote for a man who committed adultery, that we are therefore adulterous, and further therefore endorse and espouse adultery as a matter of principle and are traitors to our Christian beliefs. As such, as your argument goes, that such a vote would indicate that adultery is a held conservative belief.
Such reasoning is deserving of the utmost contempt.
Nor would I ever cheat on my wife, nor did I endorse Clinton's adultery. Ready to discuss the thread topic now?
I never made that assumption about you. However, you did make that assumption about me and every other conservative in this thread, or those who voted for Trump. That's the difference between me and you. I'm not prone to making such wild assumptions about people, nor do I resort to labeling someone because of who they happened to vote for. You doing that only shows you have insufficient means to defend your premise.
And I am discussing the topic. You chose to attack us for betraying our faith by voting for a man who committed the sin of adultery. Therefore I am entitled to attack you, your argument, and your character in return. You
are not allowed to have a free hand in making such baseless assumptions about people without suffering a direct attack on your character. You went there first. You backed yourself into a corner.
I can tell that this thread subject is really frustrating for you, which is good. You should feel frustrated. It's always frustrating when know-it-all conservatives have to come face to face with their own hypocrisy.
This is you engaging in ad hominem. If this topic isn't about you as you claim, why, all of a sudden, are you making it about me? I brought you face to face with
your own hypocrisy, then you deflected, insulted, and then deflected some more.
You're either going to denounce adultery and act on that belief with your vote, or you're going to push it aside and live your life like a moral relativist, selectively choosing which morals you're going to indulge in on a day to day, moment to moment basis as if you're at a buffet. Right now, guess which one you're doing?
Sigh. This is indeed nothing but a giant false cause argument. That somehow due to my vote for a man who committed adultery, you are allowed to superimpose values on me that I do not support. You then get to impugn on my religious beliefs as a result of that same vote. Just because I voted for a man who committed adultery does not mean I will readily commit adultery against the first woman I marry.
There are other reasons why I voted for Trump, and his adultery was not one of them. If I am to preach my small government premise to the world, my first thing to do would not to stick my nose into his marital affairs. It would be hypocritical for me to say "government should stay out of the bedroom and marriage!" if I begin critiquing his love life and who he has sex with.
Your point is lost.
