    He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband.

    He’s also a murderer. These things are not mutually exclusive. Being a good dad doesn’t excuse putting a bullet in the head of a good mom.

      He’s not saying he’s good because he’s a good father and husband, he’s citing those as evidence for him being a good conservative Christian, which is the only thing that matters to them. If you identify as exactly that you can do anything and still be a good person.

      The rich have co-opted Christianity and the insane devotion its internal logic creates to build their perfect foot soldiers

      Just using the word tremendous (orange toddler special) to describe him, should tell us about the what kind of household he was raised in.

      Everyone makes the “he was a good boy” defense, it only seems to work for white people.

      He’s a committed, conservative Christian, a tremendous father, a tremendous husband.

      and a coward, and a murderer.

        Oh, yeah, we assumed that, he acted like a true Christian.

        You know what they say: There’s no Hate like Christian Love.
