Phil (the great pretender) Kline

I made myself a promise when I started this blog that I would stay away from political topics. While I read several politically focused blogs it's never been a subject I felt compelled to write about on here. Now comes the umpteenth controversy surrounding Phil Kline and I just can't resist.

My issue with Kline has nothing to do with his right to life crusade. I believe whole heartedly in the sanctity of life while simultaneously believing in a woman’s right to choose. The whole debate about abortion in my opinion is a matter for women to resolve. As a man I just don't feel I can speak with any authority or first hand experience on this issue. And at the end of the day whatever decision a woman makes, it is her's to live with. I am not arrogant enough to think I have the answers or the right to impose my will on someone else.

So my dislike of McSmarmy Kline has nothing to do with his crusade to demonize Planned Parenthood. My problem with Kline is Phil Kline the person. From day one this clown has gone out of his way to throw himself in front of the cameras. He has taken the high moral ground at every opportunity all the while failing to do his job which is to enforce the law without interjecting his own religious beliefs and ideals. And with guys like Kline let's face it, church and state are one and the same. He has ignored the courts rulings and opinions while courting the religious right.

I believe that a person who is entrusted with upholding the law should be diligent in abiding by those same laws. A district Attorney is held to a higher standard and should be. Like most sanctimonious holier than thou ass hats Phil Kline has been caught with his pants down. And now his supporters are screaming witch hunt and bemoaning the persecution of this enforcer of justice and champion of morality and finger pointing.

Personally I doubt much will come of the whole hot mess. This is the Midwest and more often than not persecution is reserved for folks with liberal views or those who lack the means to defend themselves and not God fearing white bread douche bags like Philly. Still it's nice to see him on the receiving end even though it will only strengthen his popularity with the zealous simpletons that comprise the majority of his supporters.

Phil Kline is a text book bully and in true bully form he has gone out of his way to impose his narrow minded views on others. And like all bullies he will eventually meet up with someone who will put a proverbial foot up his ass. Maybe KCTV 5 is the fat kid who is calling him on his bullshit. More likely KCTV 5 is playing the role of the media and creating a shit storm for ratings. Either way I’m okay with it. Its about time someone put the little prick in his place. I’m just glad I was around to see it.

And with that being said it will most likely be a long time before I again enter into a political rant on this blog. My forte is humor and every now and then I get lucky and write something that really matters or means something, at least to me.
