Marco Rubio: Praise the Lord and Pass the Waterboard

In tonight's debate in Iowa, Marco Rubio pandered to the religious right. What I want to know is: Who would Jesus torture?

Nobody finds religion faster than a GOP candidate.

A week or so ago, Marco Rubio came out with an ad that said, more or less, he's on Earth to follow God's plan. A couple of weeks back at a GOP debate, he said something like "I will fight ISIS and send them to Guantanamo and find out everything they know!" I took that to mean torture. So do you, unless you're an idiot. Sorry, but let's just assume you're not an idiot.

Rubio repeated the line in tonight's debate. He also pandered to the Lord Jesus -- no, wait, he was pandering to evangelicals in Iowa, duh -- which begs the question, who would Jesus torture? I'm serious, who would Jesus torture?

I'm betting He wouldn't torture anybody. He might, however, slap Rubio upside the head once or twice for good measure.

About the American Human

The American Human is written by Calvin Ross, a retired teacher who at various points in life has been a musician, woodworker, restaurateur, narrator, English teacher in Japan, novelist, technology journalist, and private tutor to Japanese children here in the U.S.

Happily residing in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco, Calvin has lived in the Philippines, the Netherlands, and the aforementioned Japan, as well as in Chicago, Colorado, Georgia, and many different towns in California, including, of all places, the Mojave Desert.

Calvin, you may note quickly, is a liberal progressive who doesn't think being called a socialist is all that bad, especially since he sort of would like living in Denmark if it weren't so cold. He blogs because he can.
