Franklin Graham Is the Evangelical Id

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Franklin Graham is a man of contradictions. He’s devoted his life to preventing persecution and helping those who face terrifying violence, yet he sees gay Boy Scouts as a major threat to children. His mission field knows no borders, but he’s proposed a total ban on Muslims entering the United States. He claims to hate politics, yet maintains a prolific, politicized Facebook page. And when he looks at Donald Trump, he sees God at work in the White House, not a president who would fire an FBI director while under investigation, brag about groping women, and give away state secrets over small talk.

2. He lacks both the surface affability and charisma his old man had

so about the only thing that comes through is the hate.

And oh, boy, does Franklin know how to hate.

This is why the Christian far right is starting to run out of gas: the younger generation just doesn't have the charisma the old lions had but are managing to ride daddy's coat tails into areas where they are distinctly unqualified because that's how daddy got so damn rich.

Well, unless they're like the Roberts kids, using daddy's empire as a cash cow.

4. Well said.

"Surface affability" is the key. Reagan had it, Bush the Lesser has it. The appearance of humanity.
