Endless Race To The Bottom

North Carolina's Democrat Senate hopeful Cal Cunningham has confirmed the story he has exchanged text messages of a sexual nature with a female in California. Cheating on one's spouse is nothing knew and has been present in humankind from the earliest moments of recorded history.

It seems the lack of shame involved in such practices though has reached a low point. The citizens of the United States have made it clear they do not care about the moral fortitude of those they will vote for. If you do not believe me, look at Bill Clinton. He had more confirmed and alleged mistresses and sexual encounters than any other president and he served two terms and was widely held in high regard, because Americans elect presidents, not bishops.

Donald Trump did the same thing, but to a lesser degree. Trump is on his third marriage and has been alleged to cheat on his third wife, while paying the women significant sums to go away and stay silent. He won his first bid and has a solid chance to win a second term. Again, Americans, even of the evangelical stripe, have made it clear, a lack of morals and decency does not preclude undying support.  

Into this landscape Cal Cunningham has confirmed his degeneracy and embarrassed his wife and family with his lack of morals and decency. Instead of stepping down as a confirmed loser, he has raised giant sums of money and will not remove himself from a potential role with the US Senate.

Speaking only for myself, because clearly I am on a different wavelength than the general public. I prefer people with the power to make laws that cause people to lose their freedom and rot in prison over a moral choice, to have some moral clarity. Politicians are the worst of us. Can there be any doubt about it?

The desire to climb the tower and make edicts as if they know what is best for all people, let alone individuals, means they are sociopaths. The rules and laws are for you and me. You and me my friends must make life choices and behave in such a way that confirm with the designed vision of fallen men and women. These same people who are themselves above such morality and decency.

Christians, why do you keep voting for people who are confirmed as even worse than you, who continue to make laws designed to hurt and impoverish you?

It is utterly baffling to me how people, evangelicals in particular, continue supporting a government and people that has nothing in common with them or their biblical beliefs. Government has no interest in your security or safety. It lives off your efforts and needs your consent to exist and right now, it continues to prosper.
