The great hypocrites of politics are not the shady elected officials like Richard Nixon or the crafty and deft Benjamin Disraeli. Acting like a hypocrite is just one of the many tools available to a rising politician. The old adage "All is fair in war and love" needs to be remixed by a dexterous DJ to read "All is fair in war, love, and politics." The real hypocrites in politics are the people who claim to be avid followers and students of politics but they are mere amateurs, fair-weather fans, half-baked, sorry excuses for concerned and active citizens. If you are going to follow political happenings you've got to eat, drink, sleep, digest, and breathe politics.
If there is one thing that I know well it's how to spot a fake follower of the Gospel of Politics. There is nothing more honorable and nothing more praiseworthy than a man who is fervent, genuine and pious in his practice of politics. There is nothing on earth more odious than the false showing of political interest and knowledge. It is as the good Lord said, "Dead men's bones." These charlatans and false priests defy and desecrate everything that is sacred and hallowed to me.
They preach their dubious doctrine in every social setting and imaginable place possible. You cannot be a great scholar of politics until it consumes your entire being. I just don't see that among the current professors of the political gospel. With their unholy zeal they lead hundreds astray into ignorant and misinformed darkness. This type is all too common. They go about trumpeting their assumed knowledge but beware good reader, that you do not heed the tune of those pied pipers who will lead you nowhere but off the cliff of false political religion.
Stay Vigilant.
Your Faith Defending Servant,
Uncle Tom
