Breaking the Rules Too

I love that Stephen Colbert did an end run around the sycophants who run CBS these days. James Talarico certainly got more attention because CBS forbade him, than he would have if he had just been a regular guest on Colbert.

For over a decade the great orange one has been doing whatever he wanted. He ignored decorum and broke all the rules. It’s time that everyone else stops playing by the rules.

The funny part is Talarico is a Presbyterian seminarian. Presbyterians are the writers of the rules. Our system of government is based on the Presbyterian book of order. We are rule followers and believers in everyone having a chance to weigh in and discuss before decisions are made.

I feel the likes of the Stephen Colbert understand that there is not just one way of doing things. If you are going to try and silence him on your network, there are other vehicles out there that will amplify his voice.

The far right broke the rules and now they are not going to like when everyone else follows suit. It’s time to take back the microphone and speak the truth.
