The New Inquisition

 The New Inquisition

(by R.P.Edwards)

Doctrine Now!

Your answer, please

And by the way

Down on your knees!

Now look this way!

Into our eyes!

And answer sir

Are these your lies?!

(Apply the lash!)

How now your tongue?

Will you recant

Oh, wayward son?

There, there

Here's mercy

For the old

But next time, sir

DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!

A short time ago former Vice President, Joe Biden, had the nerve to call the current VP, Mike Pence, a "decent guy." Some elements on the left went ballistic. Why? Because Mr Pence is a traditional Christian with traditional "I believe the Bible" views on a variety of subjects. Which of course means his views don't align with the new masters of the Democrat Party and he, therefore, cannot be decent.

Poor Joe; thinking that civility still has a place in politics. Thinking that disagreement doesn't necessarily mean your opponent is "evil" or Hitleresque. Believing that maybe you two could go out for a cold one or a sandwich after the debate. But, it has been made abundantly clear to Mr Biden (and any other potential apostates) that such "tolerance" in the modern DNC is a throwback that simply will not be allowed. 

What a curious time we live in. How quickly the ancient mores and morality have been violently replaced by the new (thank you academia and Supreme Court). Let's see, however, if this "progressive" foundation has the strength and staying power of the old. In the meantime I suspect the castigating of "decent" Joe Biden...is just the beginning.
