I am not a religious man. But this response was beautifully written. And restores my faith, in humanity.

Everyone knows what Hegseth is…a poor excuse for a man. Lots of noise and no substance.

Nothing screams “flaccid Pharisee” more than little Pete Kegsbreath.

Oh, a bonus: you taught me a new term, "flaccid pharisee" -- thank you!

Another very fine essay, Adam. I particularly appreciate the way you concluded it. Right on, and you practice what you preach. Thank you.

How dare a murdering bum like Pete Hegseth use the holy text of my faith to justify his evil actions. Please, someone remove this addict from holding such lethal power!

Thank you, Adam. Enough of the loudmouths in this administration appropriating the language of faith for their own purposes.

I’m a little rushed right now, I’m only going to say this is the most disgusting act and talk of all time. Exactly opposite of what pope Leo has been preaching.

There’s many scripture teachings about evil people trying to fool us. Let’s pray hard we won’t be fooled . God bless America 🇺🇸

Citing scripture is often the last resort of the political scoundrel.

Hegseth sounds like one of children who was a little slow in school but was encouraged to stay with the curriculum even if they had to spend a little bit more time than the normal kids at school.

Why would we be surprised Whiskey Pete knows nothing about scripture? Look at Trump who knows nothing about history. These men and their rabid ignorance is hurting our country and should be held accountable.

You are generous. Those two men know nothing about anything. They lack any self-knowledge or morality so they don’t even know about their own lusts for power and dominance over everyone and everything although they act on them.

Markopolis Balhaus's avatar

Yes. The key word there is "rabid". Where on earth did we dig up these people?

And how about Isaiah 2:4

nations "shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
