Protesting loudly, vehemently being as vociferous and insistent as possible are the ‘Go To’ tools in the Republican/Conservative Christian political tool box, especially during this last decade of their pious, self righteous periods of pontification.Demonize the other, quote a few passages from your favorite parts of a hardly ever read Bible, pretend you are are quoting the Founding Fathers or have ever even read the US Constitution.
Listen closely to the politicians who, louder than anyone else, demand laws, restrictions, and prison time toward the LGBTQ community. Then wait a few days or weeks later and discover the fact that these same men and women have been arrested for owning child porn, soliciting a same-sex escort, or have been caught in an adulterous affair. Donald trump does it all the time. Whenever he settles back to some form of reality, he will hashtag words like lying, cheating, thinking that if he accuses others of the kind of illicit and immoral acts he thrives on, NO ONE will pay attention to Trump’s unscrupulous behavior.
On Tuesday night, Chris Christie, whose government issued cell phone magically disappeared, and whose emails just happened to be deleted (All of these with information regarding the closing of bridges in New Jersey) emerged on the GOP Convention stage and did an Oscar worthy version of “Hasta La Vista Baby”. All Eliot Ness (The Untouchables) acting, Chris Christie rambled, ruminated andlashld out against Hillary Clinton declaring just how guilty the former Secretary of State had been is still is. Tirades, hissy fits, all wrapped up in Lawyer talk, Christie, gave ‘em Hell in Cleveland. Guilty, guilty, prison, prison, Christie shouted to an audience who thought they were on the Price Is Right waiting to come on down and take your turn lynching Secretary Clinton. Like so many current God or Reagan loves me Republicans, Chris Christie protested loudly. Wonder when the feds will finally place some handcuffs on this hypocrite blow hard. “Thou Dost Protest Too Much, Me Thinks”. (Was it William Shakespeare or Melania Trump who originated that quote?)
