There’s something deeply disturbing about people who loudly proclaim their Christian faith while lining up to celebrate a giant gold statue of a political leader. For anyone even vaguely familiar with the Bible, the symbolism couldn’t be more obvious.

The Hateful Eight and their cohort of corrupt, racist runts keep making a lot of noise but not a lot of sense. The phrase “ISIS bride” is being used less as a legal description and more as a political weapon. It has been repeated endlessly across tabloids, talkback radio and Sky News panels because it generates outrage, fear and clicks.

It’s a politically effective slogan because it taps into genuine public frustration over rising electricity prices, housing stress, food costs and stagnant wages.
