Knowing what we know about the NRA and about Oliver North, we knew it wasn’t going to take long for North to make a fool of himself after being elected NRA president. He didn’t disappoint. In a bizarre interview with the Moonie Times, North claimed the Stoneman Douglas kids were engaging in terrorism.
“They call them activists. That’s what they’re calling themselves. They’re not activists — this is civil terrorism. This is the kind of thing that’s never been seen against a civil rights organization in America. You go back to the terrible days of Jim Crow and those kinds of things — even there you didn’t have this kind of thing. We didn’t have the cyberwar kind of thing that we’ve got today.”
The evangelicals kissing the poor, the minorities and women on the cheek before the Trump administration comes to crucify them. At least they got their 30 pieces of silver, now they can go hang themselves.
It’s easy to understand why it is possible that the Religious Right consider Trump to be admirable, despite ample evidence to the contrary. For at least the past two generations, Republicans have depended on the them to support the GOP, and they have been very dependable, despite the fact that very few of them have enough money that they were not working against their own best interests. The Republicans have convinced them that they believed in a Family Values agenda- anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc. Somehow they managed not to notice that once Republicans were elected, they completely ignored that agenda, or made it a trade-off for securing the goals of the 1%ers who were controlling the Republican party. In fact, they rarely mentioned those issues unless they were using them as a bargaining chip—- until the next time they needed volunteers to work for their candidates, when it again became their mantra.After all these years, the Religious Right seems to have finally figured out that the Establishment Republicans are playing them for fools, so they are continuing to prove they are fools by voting against anyone who isn’t an Establishment Republican, but still a Republican. The fact that they elected Donald Trump, who has the Family Values credentials of an extremely active tomcat, is an indication of just how totally they have been taken in by the GOP.
Ya know these corporate Dems are really getting desperate when they start blaming (insert Sanders supporters, Russians, White Voters here) as Trump supporters/sympathizers.
In economics, Gresham’s law is a monetary principle stating that “bad money drives out good”. For example, if there are two forms of commodity money in circulation, which are accepted by law as having similar face value, the more valuable commodity will gradually disappear from circulation.

Since they are Trump coins, they are only silver-plated at best.
