The abortion issue has forced a large number of liberal "practicing" Catholic politicians to ignore the Church's teachings on murder. Bill Clinton offered another great example of this hypocrisy. There was no outcry from liberals when the evidence showed that Bill Clinton regularly met Monica Lewinsky just before grabbing his Bible for a photo-op at church.

Yet, when Trump's failure to routinely profess his religious conviction is a matter of great concern to liberals. I don't hate liberals, but I do hate their hypocrisy, which seems to know no bounds.


There's plenty enough hypocrisy to go around on both sides of the political spectrums. Anyone who blanketly criticizes the opposite for hypocrisy is missing the mark. I'm not saying you are doing that, Hoot. I know you agree with me that there is plenty of hypocrisy from each side.

Most of my beliefs were formed pretty long ago, so celebrity opinions don't have a lot of affect on me. The one exception is Scott Baio. If Baio says it, I know I need to be on the opposite side. Apparently, Chaci loves Donald. And that's perfectly fine with me.
I agree that there is plenty enough hypocrisy among politicians of every party, but I will always defend people whose religion is ridiculed. That even goes for Scientologists, whose religion could not sound much nuttier to me, but if that is what Tom Cruise and his friends believe, then I have no beef with them provided they do not charge me for a ticket and then try to convert me on my own dime.

That is my issue with people like Ronstadt and Buffett. Speaking of hypocrisy, I have never been to a concert where the star of the show, in Jimmy Buffett's case, has tried to sell me more junk than at his concert, and I could only stomach half of the concert. For such a harsh critic of capitalism, capitalism has made him a very wealthy man.
