RINOs: Sweet-Talkers Who Inwardly Curse You

Some thoughts that occurred to me during one of my morning devotionals today…

With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse. (Psalm 62:4)

I immediately thought of the smarmy way in which our world works today, especially in the political realm.

People like this want you to think that they never harbor a negative (much less hostile) thought. They’re always smiles, with a side of peaches and cream. Their blood pressure never goes up and they never (gasp) raise their voice or their tone.

Openly, that is.

And ironically, you can’t get them to get worked up or really do anything about something that’s truly bad; they’re stuck in smarmy mode.

Interestingly, Democrats have now descended to the place where they are, more and more, openly contemptuous of good people and what is right. To be sure, there is still more than a little smarmy talk from Democrats, especially around election time, but you can at least give them props for being more honest and open about the corruption that is drowning their hearts (even if it’s only because they believe the public is now degenerate enough to applaud them for it). The liberal “Republicans” are still busy being hypocrites and lying about the corruption they have inwardly and secretly embraced.

I’ve noticed in the past few years, as I’ve warred not only with the devils in the Democrat Party but also with the masked ones in the “Republican” Party, that corrupt people get more upset at harsh words than they do harsh actions.

You can lie, betray principles and people, trample our nation’s highest laws and make a mockery of boundaries put in place for the protection of all…and that’s okay as long as you profess to “mean well.”

But if you confront someone for lying, for betraying principles and people, for trampling our nation’s highest laws and making a mockery of well-established boundaries…well, you’re the bad guy. You’re so rude. You’re so harsh. You’re so extreme. You’re so arrogant for having pointed out their corruption and duplicity.

This is why, according to the standard of these whitewashed tombs, people like Ted Cruz who expect the U.S. Constitution to be upheld and oaths to be kept are the “wackobirds” and “extremists,” while smarmy glad-handers who betray the people and the rule of law like Jeb Bush are called “reasonable.”

These same people who make a mockery of what is right like to walk around smiling, glad-handing with all sorts of pretty-talk and smooth words to sooth you…but in their hearts they hold you in contempt and disdain, and they betray the values they laud to your face.

If you doubt that they bless outwardly while cursing inwardly, just look at their actions. Do their actions reflect what is coming out of their mouths?

They claim to hold dear the same things you do and agree with your concern about these things…yet when they–the people with real power–have an opportunity to do something about these issues, they do nothing. In fact, they may even deride your opinion and these issues behind your back. We sometimes call this behavior “talking out of both sides of your mouth.”

You see, they don’t really believe in the faux civility they laud. It’s a tool for keeping you under control and avoiding pressure to deal with a problem.

As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas once said,

By yielding to a false form of civility, we sometimes allow our critics to intimidate us. As I have said, active citizens are often subjected to truly vile attacks. They are branded as mean-spirited, racist, Uncle Tom, homophobic, sexist, et cetera. To this we often respond, if not succumb, so as not to be constantly fighting by trying to be to non-judgmental. That is,we censor ourselves. This is not civility. It is cowardice, or well-intentioned self-deception at best.

Blessing with their mouths and cursing with their hearts. Yeah, today the “Republican” Party is filled with such as these, and the “Republican” Party leadership is made up of virtually nothing but.

And they control the unruly grassroots with hypocritical expectations that we should all conform to their requirement for only sweet-talk…while they steal both prosperity and God-given liberty from those they claim to represent.

With their mouths they bless, but in their hearts they curse.

Are you going to let these frauds get away with that?
