“An Open Letter to Super Tuesday Voters”

““Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people,” said John Adams, the first man to live in the White House as president. “It is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other.”

David French, a Harvard-educated Evangelical lawyer and a veteran of the war in Iraq, cites Mr. Adams in his “Open Letter to Super Tuesday Voters.”

I wish that what he says might have wide circulation and influence, but I confess that I’m not hopeful.  Far too many voters seem willing to turn their country over to Caesarotrumpism.

In other news, besides seeking to nominate an arrogant, authoritarian, unprincipled, unreflective, and crass vulgarian for the office once held by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Ronald Reagan, many voters — a large proportion of them Evangelicals — are, in effect, also voting to put the first woman in the White House as First Lady who’s done a nude photo spread for a men’s magazine.

How cool is that?!?!?  Not only that we’ll have such a fine symbol of American women representing us — inspiring our daughters and granddaughters and serving as a model wife for our sons and grandsons — but that many Evangelicals have been able to discern the difference between the unacceptably fake “Christianity” of Mitt and Ann Romney and the entirely acceptable devotion and conduct of Donald and Melania Trump!

Seriously, Evangelicals who support Mr. Trump and his current wife will have forfeited the privilege of complaining about the coarsening of American manners and the decline in American morality.  Perhaps forever.
