By their fruits yee shall run from them

To watch and listen how Republican candidates have regarded and debated each other recently on TV is a classic example of “Man’s Inhumanity to Man.” Cruel reckless accusations loaded with cheap shots. Firing away indiscriminately at the closes political target trying their very best not to discharge a live load into one’s own foot.

Maybe I’m mistaken. Aren’t these gentlemen and Lady supposed to be moral Christian men and women? If you apply the “Fruit” test (by their fruits yee shall know them) that alone indicates they must be from some other lower moral order. What happened to the “Golden Rule?” What happened to “Love thy neighbor?” What happened to “Do unto others?” What happened to humility, charity, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and other virtues as Jesus once spoke of?

Judging by their fruits, I would hazard to guess these political combatants to be less than human. Possibly ape like and practicing Darwinism. The survival of the fittest. More like survival of the meanest and dirtiest fighters. Absolutely shooting from the hip at close range with falsehood and defamation.

Do we really want these kinds of amoral individuals as our country’s political leaders? God help us all if we do. God bless America anyway.
