Christian nationalism is a problem in this nation. No, I didn’t say Christianity. I said specifically Christian nationalism. There are those who would impose their interpretation of Christian religious doctrine upon the rest of us, and the alarming thing is that we have one of these ideologues now 2nd in line to the presidency. Nothing seems to sway them from their self-destructive path, and they seem intent on bringing the rest of the country with them into Gilead.

When you see them, vote against them. A true leader must be willing to and able to put the society above their personal held beliefs.

Veterans day has come and gone, and Tuberville is still a problem. His ideological stance in blocking appointments has become a readiness issue for the USMC. We’ve talked about how the commandant of the Marines had a heart attack in a prior episode, trying to do the job of two general-level officers. What does Tuberville have to say about it? No comment, but prior, he’s said, to paraphrase, “why don’t they just delegate.”

Sounds a lot like “let them eat cake.” Tuberville has no sense of honor, and worse, no loyalty. He places his extreme ideological values above the nation he claims to serve.
