From Donald Trump’s RNC Acceptance Speech:

“They..(‘Evangelicals and Religious community’) have so much to contribute to our politics, yet our laws prevent you from speaking your minds from your own pulpits. An amendment, pushed by Lyndon Johnson, many years ago, threatens religious institutions with a loss of their tax-exempt status if they openly advocate their political views. Their voice has been taken away.”

Disguised in Disgust

Somehow,  this rhetoric was cheered for in a room following a man who wears contradictions like the unvaccinated toddler of a Christian-Scientist wears chronic diseases. While Trump spends so much of his time speaking out against immigrants from nations that endorse religious tyranny, it seems he may want to welcome our brand of it here.

When I heard this segment of his fear-riddled acceptance speech, I was blown away by both the pandering to middle America and the hypocritical nature of what he was proposing. The more this language swirled around my head, the more I could imagine a Trump Theocracy, a nightmare with no end.

XXXit

With all the social progress we have made since 2008, I would hate to see us once again turn over the keys of the most powerful government in the world to people who would see the evangelical pit that is middle America assert it’s absurd biblical agenda upon people who are supposedly in a free nation of choice.

Try getting an abortion in North Dakota or a porno mag in Alabama. If Trump continues on this road courting the Religious right, I hope, and I feel that it will crash and burn. One cannot rise to the level of presidential candidate without a bit of contradiction, but for a New York real estate elitist to fool the flyover states into thinking he is one of them is a grand fabrication, closely held together by non-disclosure agreements.

Over The Hill-Are-We

While it remains to be seen what will happen at next week’s Democratic National Convention, one can expect a tight and precise performance by the candidate and supporters. I hope to see something that will raise a motivation to vote for Hillary, but I have reservations.

That being said, I have never seen an issue dragged around like a dead horse in the town square so long that it made glue like the Hillary e-mail scandal. She may not be the best candidate the Democratic party has ever produced, but for Christ’s sake evangelicals, you know Trump was pro-choice once right?
