Christians and a president for life.

Today my racism chase takes me to Georgia, in a little town just some 50 miles from the "city too busy to hate", Atlanta.

 "Bible Belt Racism: A Georgia city councilman defends his mayor’s decision to discriminate against a black man by citing his sincerely held Christian beliefs and his opposition to interracial marriage.
Recently Mayor Theresa Kenerly of Hoschton, Georgia confessed to rejecting a candidate for city administrator because he’s black. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Mayor Kenerly told a member of the City Council she pulled the resume of Keith Henry from a packet of four finalists “because he is black, and the city isn’t ready for this.”

The fact that Mayor Kenerly rejected a job applicant because he is black is simply despicable. And to their credit, several city council members spoke out against the blatant racism. But some on the city council defended the mayor’s open racism.

For example, Hoschton City Councilman Jim Cleveland defended Mayor Kenerly, saying “she might have been right” to discriminate against the black applicant. Cleveland said:

I don’t know how they would take it if we selected a black administrator. She might have been right.

Councilman Cleveland then went on to explain that he is a Christian, and as a Christian, he has a problem with “race mixing.” Cleveland said:

I’m a Christian and my Christian beliefs are you don’t do interracial marriage. That’s the way I was brought up and that’s the way I believe.

Cleveland added:

I have black friends, I hired black people. But when it comes to all this stuff you see on TV, when you see blacks and whites together, it makes my blood boil because that’s just not the way a Christian is supposed to live. "[Source]

You gotta love some of these "Christians". They just don't tolerate all this race mixing stuff. You can't get to heaven if you have a tan. I guess they are going to have to start marrying more of their cousins and sisters now, these non-Christians out here are putting this race mixing thing into overdrive.

But enough of racism. At the end of the day we will survive the goober brigade.  It has been with us forever, and I suspect that it will not be going away any time soon.

What we really need to worry about is where we are as a country, as well as the Constitution and the rule of law that we are supposed to be following.

Apparently we have a president who might not go peacefully when his term is up. He has been retweeting people who want him to stay past his term, and one of the leaders of the opposition (who knows him more than all of us) has declared that the orange one might not go peacefully into the night.

If you think about it this all might make sense, because the only thing preventing Mr. trump from being criminally prosecuted is the fact that he is the sitting president. 

When 400 hundred former federal prosecutors declare that Mr. trump should have been prosecuted for obstruction it kind of puts things all in perspective, and it makes us realize just what kind of man we have leading the country.

No wonder he doesn't want to leave, he might end up like his former lawyer who reported to federal prison today. 

He had some parting words for Mr. trump. "There still remains much to be told, and I look forward to the day that I can share the truth." 

It might be too late, Mr. Cohen. By then we might have a president for life leading a country where truth no longer matters.
