A couple of weeks ago,
before a “moderate Muslim” couple lit up San Bernardino, a duo, by the way,
that BHO’s boys “vetted” to immigrate into the US, I read a column telling
Christians not to vote for Trump should he win the GOP ticket because he didn’t
pass the “Word of God” litmus test.
The Christian writer
said evangelicals shouldn’t support The Donald primarily because Trump mocked
the disabled NYT reporter Serge Kovaleski. That, for said writer, was a holy
deal breaker.
He also pointed out
that Trump was cocky, cheeky and braggadocious and that, my dear brethren, was
why he counseled you to not play the Trump card in 2016.
The author went on to
say that we needed a “statesman” like Winston Churchill which made me spew my
coffee on my Mac Powerbook.
Now … before anyone
thinks I’m anti-WC, allow me to allay any concerns because I’m a huge Churchill
fan and a painting I did of Winston adorns my gorgeous Texas casa.
The thing that struck
me as weird after said columnist trounced on Trump for his arrogance, insults
and his blistering quips was the Captain Obvious fact that I know of no one on
the planet who was more adept and acerbic in their verbal cut-downs of his
political opponents then my curmudgeony hero, Sir Winston Churchill.
Matter of fact,
Churchill makes Trump look sedate and sophomoric compared to the way the
British bulldog wielded his wicked verbal sword. If you don’t believe me
give The Wicked Wit Of Winston
Churchill a cursory glance.
In the aforementioned
slim tome, you’ll quickly get schooled that the colossal PM, who crushed Nazis
like a narc at a biker party, was also a man who had a LOL sense of humor. Much
of it was devilish. And God help you if he pointed his verbal guns at you.
However, a lot of
Winston’s mischievous verbal invectives are lost in his historical/famous
sayings, but true Churchill enthusiasts know he was the King Of Cut Downs, bons
mots, jokes and aphorisms which were often parlayed at his opponents’ expense.
And his slams also included the ladies.
Yep, I know of no
other modern “Statesman” like Churchill who was a combination of a great heart,
brilliant talent, political savvy, who was wildly funny and definitely
conceited.
Back to the Biblical
acid test for our conservative candidate.
Look, I’m a
Christian. I know it’s not cool to say or be that any longer but … I
am.
That said, I’d love
for some perfect critter to be elected as our next President and guide America
into greatness, but sorry, folks … they … ain’t … out … there.
Indeed, the last
perfect leader to ever schlep this third rock from the sun was Jesus. And they
ended up killing him.
Matter of fact, I
don’t think most of Christendom’s hailed biblical protagonists would pass the
evangelical muster if we held them to stringent scriptural standards that some
Christians are applying to Trump.
For instance: would
any evangelicals vote for… King David knowing that he shagged Bathsheba
(another man’s wife) and then had her husband offed? I doubt it. Can you
imagine the field day CNN would have with that? Good Lawd!
— What about
Moses? Moses killed a man, married a black woman, and had massive anger issues.
Can you say “deal breaker” for most evangelicals?
— What if Samson
were on the ticket? Samson dated a hooker, killed Cecil The Lion and had long
hair. Can you imagine the melee that would ensue should some candidate have
this Nazarite’s track record? OMG. Scandal aplenty for the fastidious among us.
But … he was God’s choice and his Judge to lead an ancient Israel for a time.
— What about
Abraham? This old patriarch constantly lied about being married to his wife.
Not. Very. Presidential.
Then you have Jesus’
fab twelve whom he chose to change the planet that were an amalgam of rough
cussing fishermen who resembled the crew of Deadliest Catch or tax-cheats like Matthew. And don’t even
get me started on John The Baptist who ate bugs and wore a camel skin.
And the list could go
on and on regarding the massive unholy incongruities of fallen men, both
redeemed and unredeemed, whom God utilized to shake and shape nations for his
righteous purposes.
Oh, crap. What is
wrong with me? I forgot about God’s favorite leader, the man Jesus
Christ. I seriously doubt many would vote for him because he definitely
was not politically correct. He roasted evil politicians, called them wicked
names, and lambasted the religious right of his day and even called a woman a
dog (Mt.15:26-28). Can you imagine what the coven on The View would do with that
one?
Bottom line: good luck
finding Mr., Ms., Miss or Mrs. Perfect when voting for President, brethren.
Personally, I think
Christians are groping to look for a good Christian candidate according to
PC-Christendoms’ neutered and totemic standards. I believe the last “good
evangelical” candidate that evangelicals got giddy over was the squeaky clean
Jimmy Carter. How’d that work out for you?
No, what I’m looking
for is some quasi-decent SOB who loves our Constitution and our original
intent.
Yes, I want a leader
who can convince me that he reveres our founding docs, who’ll keep us secure,
jack up our economy, plug our porous borders and bounce our enemies into a
fiery hell. Call me a simple man. And if he or she doesn’t perform
according to what they promised us, I’ll devote my pen to bring they’re lyin’
backside down.
Lastly, I’m a Cruz man
but if it turns out that Trump is our only option this Christian will gladly
vote for The Donald over the she-devil known as … Hillary Clinton.
