A view of Politics and Evangelical candidates
A passing thought
Hucksterbee’s campaign is getting short on cash. Y’all git down to the camp meeting for the laying of hands on wallets. Time to pass the plate.
For those whose memory hasn’t fallen down the Memory Hole, this hunt for a pastoral president has some down home roots.
The last religious (read evangelical) President was Mr. Peanut. He gave away the Panama Canal in a white hot, snake handling fervor. Then we had to invade the place to get the leftist crook out of there.
I didn’t think Mr. Peanut could be topped. Then in a gout of remorse, Hucksterbee wants to invite everybody south of 26o N. Lat. up for citizenship. That doubles down on the canal.
Every time I hear something like Acts 2:38 or a bible being thumped, I think of- of-of Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Bakker or Marjoe Gortner. The Huckster may have all them beat for contorting the truth.
Oh well, I had nothing better to do for this time except scratch this itch.

Carter, the freaking bastard, was a different kind of Christian. He wasn’t generous. He was
