But in the face of the moral outrage that millions of Americans feel, the awkward silence of so-called faith leaders as they listened to a braggart drone on about himself was revelatory. The President went on to say, essentially: the world is a mess. I'm here to fix it. The Bible has a name for this political position: idolatry.</b>Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838569462983439.post-67329455300367400692017-02-04T10:02:10.766-05:002017-02-04T10:02:10.766-05:00SATIRE FROM THE BOROWITZ REPORT

After that, they kick babies and children to the curb.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://proudemocrat.com/emboldened-by-election-texas-republicans-kill-medicaid-fundings-for-kids-with-disabilities/" rel="nofollow">Emboldened By Election, Texas Republicans Kill Medicaid Fundings For Kids With Disabilities</a><br /><br />This fits in with Mr. Douglass's speech on Christian hypocrisy. (And, yes, I know that many, many Christians do not practice that sort of hypocrisy. My own niece is a shining example of a Christian who actually works for an organization that helps babies and children get fed, clothed, and medical care here and around the world.) It's the hypocrites who put up fake faith blogs on Sunday and ignore what Texas is doing -- those fake Xtians deserve our contempt.Shaw Kenawehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637273000409613497noreply@blogger.com
