A Priest, Rabbi, & Minister walk into a bar and don’t talk about politics but will they speak about their views from the Pew well I guess it depends on how there contract is written. For when a person of the cloth dwells in the political realm they must have faith that at least 1/2 their congregants don’t walk out in disgust. It is difficult to come to some political agreements when even in the same Church/Synagogue there arguing about areas of the faith.

Yet without honest discussion on the hear and now I wonder how relevant such words can be to the congregants. Maybe as a religious leader you can’t directly support a candidate but can you ignore the policies that could hurt your congregants physically,emotionally and/or spiritually in the hear and now, without saying a word in defense or offense.  It is a difficult weave to walk but those that wear the cloth must continue to walk it, even if sometimes they slip, for faith must be observed in all our action even those that can divide.

The Creepy Clowns threat is something we should take more seriously as Halloween is in our midst.  Hiding behind a mask and costume may make a demented individual feel that they have the power to attack an innocent individual. In a free society we can’t ban the use of such outfits but we can make sure those that would wear them are only using them for entertaining purposes instead of harm.  All I can say for sure is you won’t be seeing the standard clown at children’s parties in the future as the fear from children has spread to adults.

Today in Germany there are still people who still feel a loyalty to Adolph Hitler (even if hidden) as well as Russian’s that support their monster Joseph Stalin. Of course the candidates in the Democratic and Republican Presidential race are not in the same comparison but it begs the question of how loyal would we be or should be? What would it take for even the most loyal Democrat and Republican to decide not to vote or even vote for the opposite party? How far from your own personal security and well being would it take for you to reconsider?  Is the damage to your neighborhood, city, nation or world enough for you to act or will you be blinded by a loyalty that keeps you hidden from the basic truths.   We must therefore have lines that even our hero candidates must’n cross if they want our vote.

As for me I’ve drawn such lines some thicker then others. While my candidate has come close to crossing one barrier his opponent has jumped over the Iranian Nuclear Barrier as well as my Pro-Life barrier. It will therefore take extraordinary measure to have me hold back such a vote or consider the other candidate but if I’m crossed then such will be the case.
