\nOne of my Facebook contacts unfriended me over the weekend.\u00a0 I am too hateful for her.\u00a0 I prefer Trump over Hillary and Trump is hateful so therefore I am hateful.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t reach her with logic because she\u2019s not reacting with logic, she\u2019s reacting with emotion.\u00a0 So let\u2019s try a different way to teach this lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Pretend the two candidates are Trump and Satan.\u00a0 Yes, Satan, the Prince of Darkness, the Ultimate Evil, as the Democrat candidate.\u00a0 I\u2019m NOT saying Hillary is Satan, this is just pretend, remember?<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Okay, so pretend Satan points at Trump and shrieks \u201cHe said the P-word!\u00a0 He said rich and powerful men get away with things others can\u2019t.\u00a0 He\u2019s morally unfit to serve as President.\u00a0 Vote for me.\u201d\u00a0 Would you? Would you pass over a rich, entitled jerk in favor of The Father of Lies?\u00a0 \u00a0I hope not.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019d see past the deception and vote for the jerk.\u00a0 He IS a jerk.\u00a0 But he\u2019s the lesser evil.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Okay, stop pretending.\u00a0 It\u2019s Trump versus Hillary.\u00a0 She\u2019s the one pointing and shrieking, suggesting Trump is morally unfit so she\u2019s the one we should vote for. \u00a0Hillary is not the Father of Lies but she\u2019s certainly in the running for Mother of Lies: cattle futures, bimbo eruptions, dodgy campaign contributions from Hsu, Cabrera and Buddhists, Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm billing records, Travelgate, Fort Marcy Park, the Hillary-care Committee secret meetings, FBI raw files on Republicans, stolen White House china, dead broke, Benghazi internet video, sniper fire, Colin Powell\u2019s advice, data born classified but \u201cwiped, like with a cloth,\u201d Clinton Foundation for Haitian relief . . . and I\u2019m sure there are more I can\u2019t recall.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Trump\u2019s comment is the modern vulgar American version of \u201cQuod licit Jovi, non licit bovi.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s been an uncomfortable truth for thousands of years. Will you punish the Speaker of Truth by electing the Mother of Lies?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
