"God and the Greater Good": Dennis Prager Hits Back at Critics After His Column on "Why Conservatives Still Attack Trump" Goes Viral

Teresa Neumann-Opinion : Jun 6, 2017  Dennis Prager - Townhall

Ironically, Prager's rebuttal comes on the heels of news that former Vice-President Joe Biden has been asked to headline a Republican retreat organized by Mitt Romney. The event will be attended by other specially invited guests such as John McCain—most of them not friendly with President Trump.

(Washington, DC)—Dennis Prager isn't backing down from his assertion that conservatives are absolutely wrong not to support President Trump. Breaking Christian News covered Prager's original column here when it was first released. The publication of his article clearly hit a nerve with reporters and news agencies who continue to be "Never Trump" holdouts. (Photo: President Trump, John McCain/via TODAY)

"It is interesting," notes Prager, "that the column elicited so much attention. Maybe, like the man who bit the dog, an articulate case by a mainstream conservative in support of the president is so rare that people felt a need to publish it and respond to it.

Whatever the reason, I feel compelled to respond to some of the disagreements."

Prager goes on to address the issue of morality and Trump's character.

"First," he says, "I have indeed dedicated much of my life to advocating for morality ... but I have never advocated for electing moral politicians. Of course, I prefer people of good character in political office. But 30 years ago, I wrote an essay titled "Adultery and Politicians" in which I argued that what political leaders do is more important than their character. To cite but one of an endless list of examples, I would prefer an adulterous president (like John F. Kennedy) who supported Israel than a faithful family man (like Jimmy Carter) who was an anti-Zionist." (Photo: Dennis Prager/via DennisPrager.com)

Then, Prager—who is a "religious" Jew—adds that he has learned that "God Himself chose morally compromised individuals—like King David, who had a man killed in order to cover up the adultery he committed with the man's wife; and the prostitute Rahab, who was instrumental in helping the Jews conquer Canaan—to accomplish some greater good."

For those looking for a conservative voice with an articulate message to secular critics, Dennis Prager is hard to beat.
