The New Gospel of the Gilded Calf

 It has been remarked by men wiser than myself that the Good Book is like a mirror: if an ass looks in, you can’t expect an apostle to look out. These days, however, it seems a whole congregation of folks have looked into the Gospel and somehow mistaken the Beatitudes for a business prospectus.

doesn't really help

This was a tough article for me, because I very much understand how the author feels.  I'm gonna vote for the leopards. Are gonna eat my face party. But then complain when leopards are actually eating my face.  I totally get it on the others part, but.....

How is this just not further divisive talk?  Great, You were right, You voted for the right person, Good for you.  The farmers didn't.  You chastising and castigating the farmers doesn't fix the situation, it only makes you feel better about being right.  

Now the real reality is gonna set in this fall. When there's no crops to feed the country.  

I hope you feel really good about being right then.
