| This week, Mike Pence commemorated the Eides of March (the assasination of Julius Ceasar by his colleagues), by breaking his own pledge to the Republican Party Chair. In order to be admitted in the Presidential debates, last year; all candidates were required to pledge full support for the eventual nominee. Pence is now the equivalent of a Faithless Elector. His ongoing conduct now discredits his Christian faith and witness. The funding of Mike Pence's campaign further reveals his association and servitude to the war machine and the military industrial complex that President Eisenhower condemned and warned good Americans about. It brings us no pleasure to confess this politician duped many, especially the devoutly Christian voters in the nation. |  |
Mike Pence now joins a dubious group of charlitans who have exploited religion for political gain. By making obsequous speeches about the lack of honor and integrity in Washington, Pence has promoted himself as a higher form of statesman. The former radio broadcaster honed his skills of mock gravitas and somber thoughtfulness. If you haven't noticed it, imagine yourself suffering from a hemorroid flare up and indigestion. Now speak very slowly and deliberately. If you did it right, you probably would pass for a Pence impersonator.
So, why do devout conservatives of faith, fall for these politicians. Is it that we want to believe we've found our political messiah? Is wishful projection something these phonies bank on?
But Pence does have a god. Everyone does. Pence serves mammon and is driven by ego. He believes he's better than us. Smarter, and wiser. Worse yet, he doesn't respect anyone unless he identifies something he can gain from them. It's an occupational hazard of politicians. It makes them very accessable in the campaign season, but you'll never get your calls and notes replied to once they get certified as the winner.
At one point, nearly 8 years ago; Pence made sure to notify all of us religious voters, that Mike himself, played the prophet's role, and it was by Mike's own prayer and laying on of hands; that Trump then received God's annointing as our nation's leader.
Pence began filling the administration with his own list of allies. Oklahoma's Jim Bridenstine was one such collegue from the original Freedom Caucus. Pence offered Bridenstine either a top Pentegon post, or a NASA appointment.
Bridenstine served that NASA gig for less than 2 years, then found a gig for an aerospace interest.
Bridenstine is the one who told a religious group that "It would be very difficult to get a better US senator than James Lankford. That's the same James Lankford who was so terrified of a Bridenstine challenge, that he worked overtime to get the senate votes for Bridenstine's confirmation as NASA Administrator.
Pence could find redemption. He could admit his ongoing sin and faithlessness. Will he?
I have faith in God, but not so much in Pence.
