my *** in me talked about political sex scandals on his show
how Christian of him and then he branched off into discussing
honor and shame in these really broad generic concepts
so wanna play you a video clip here this is my car can be dragging
on and on about it and I have a unique
take way about this let's listen what's happened to the sample
virtue of shame have we lost completely and forever
red-faced head hanging tear shedding sense
of shame I me when's the last time you heard a politician associated with words
like
humility contrite ness brokenness
are modesty there seems to be a sense in which we blurred the lines between shame
and fame in fact it's as if we have acquainted
even elevated both characterizations as if they were character qualities
in a culture that worships celebrity rather than substance
well not be surprised at those who want to be the leaders of our political
institutions
are playing by the same rules as those who lead the entertainment industry
our sports embarrassing an immoral behavior no longer disqualify one for
what passes as public service
but rather it validates one's humanity and the
abracadabra just saying I'm sorry wipes the slate clean
with the added bonus %uh 100 percent name ID
ego narcissism and raw ambition have replaced the notion
selfless serving her elected offices now go to the most brazen driven
and self fueled megalomaniac ce George Washington
had to be baked in the services president and he absolutely refuse to
make it a lifetime career
Washington would never make the first cut above modern-day primary
that requires one to have the what I call Elijah send wrong with saying
how are the only one that God has left we don't see enough of his the Jesus
model
the let this cup pass for me but not my will but yours be done
today's political figures are often
just that figures as in
action figures artificial miniatures up the real thing
change the capacity to actually display
the shame that we have that's not a bad thing in fact
it's like humility a good day it reveals that we in fact do know the difference
between right and wrong
and we're utterly disgusted with ourselves we fail where there is no
shame
all that's left is fame and that
is a sorry substitute for character okay
he just spoke for two minutes and 22 seconds
and managed to say nothing not
that's why I wanted to play this for you because his mouth was moving but no
point was coming out
law order I gotta tell ya to fame and shame in character and people in our
system politicians and things
anger I don't know yet right
over the right people what are you talking about
by the way he actually gets a new problem why politicians want fame and
politicians are narcissistic
they always wanted framing always been our cystic quite dangerous major is okay
but what is
they want that same characteristic but she
again the reason I wanted to show you this and discuss this
only somebody like my *** Mike Huckabee
could try to have this like serious high-minded conversation about virtues
in politics and how we can fix what's going on in our country
and say nothing of substance because you can have a conversation about fixing our
political system
and let you want to talk about getting money out of politics so the politicians
are not corrupt anymore
I Got News for You Mike I don't gamble gone
de irme what a politician does with
his or her generals at all as long as they're not a hypocrite about it right
you can do whatever you want with your *** your ***
it's not my business even but public people are entitled
to a private life boy if you actually want to talk about
up making politicians have honor and integrity in all these virtuous things
that you're talking about
the first thing you need to bring up getting money up all six so are
politicians
our corporate horse who are bought by the rich my
we don't talk about that no because he would gladly sell out
%uh to corporations into the ranch I mean again here's a guy
you want to drag on and on I didn't hear one single fact about health care
and how we can improve that I didn't hear anything about policy or
legislation I hear anything about the economy
there was no numbers from the Government Accountability office in there
there is no Census Bureau data there's no Bureau of Labor Statistics data
i wanna talk about those things i wanna talk about the student loan debt crisis
and to fix that
i wanna talk about the war on drugs and how to get a reason
all the but incredible amount a violent crime it's happening because drugs are
illegal
I will address substantive problems my *** in me want to give
every you know a vacuous
vapid speeches about all this is what's right and this is what's wrong
no it's not you have no idea what you're talking about you're just pandering and
you're making no sense
