Former Joint Chiefs of Staff, Character, and Policy:
Anyone want to guess which two got fired yesterday? It shouldn't be hard.
I remember this statement being shared across social networking in the days before the election:
Citizens should consider a candidate’s character when voting, but they should also remember that a candidate’s policy reflects their character. Andrew T. Walker, Ethics and public Theology Professor at Southern Seminary, recently wrote about the importance of policy in World. Policy-the type of that has real-world implications on others – may be a more accurate barometer of one’s deepest convictions that have a formative or deformative effect on character than even the words that come out of one’s mouth, “he writes, In other words, “Policy is character, too.”
Understand that I don't endorse that statement, indeed it reflects one of the worst aspect of Human Nature, which is "the ends justify the means", and an attitude that evil is OK, as long as it accomplishes the things we want. Historically nothing good as ever come from that pact with the Devil. Nothing good is coming this time either.
But I continue to be surprised at all the shocked reactions as we citizens of the U.S. watch the remake of our country from one of diversity and inclusion to one which is a White, Christian Nationalist, Patriarchic Fascist government. For the folks that did not see this coming, all I can say is "Really?"
So again, just a reminder that a plurality of Americans voted for this and all the signs that is was coming were there.
This was a choice.
