OPINION: We, The Imperial, Pious and Pristine Florida Senate – We Hypocrites All
Opinion ı By USA Herald

Some of these deeds in question are illegal, some of them are simply immoral. Regardless, it is not our place to judge the members of the Florida Senate, but if they take it upon themselves to judge their peers and place their opinions over the voters’ decisions when that peer merely makes a bold or disgusting reference to another Senator, then all Senators should be ready to be judged by the same standards.
One may well think these listed items are not as bad as calling a peer the “N” word. Ask a wife or husband if she or he would rather have her husband commit adultery or use the “N” word? Ask a parent if they would rather have their child drink and drive or use the “N” word?
We also understand that many of those in the Senate would acknowledge that it was the public manner in which the Senator committed this act that made the “crime” so objectionable. Let’s be honest; it was not public, it was at a private club in a private conversation, after hours, and not on state property. So, the same standard of privacy and venue should apply to other behaviors of the elected Senators in Florida. That one of the conversation’s participants leaked the conversation to a reporter tells you even more about the character of the Florida Senate. They selectively leak the misdeeds of one another, but apparently, only with the Senators they don’t like.
Don’t misunderstand this commentary; we are not defending Frank Artilles, that is his job and that of his very capable lawyers. We agree there is no place for racism in America and certainly no place for it in our elected halls of government, but poor, boorish, and bad behavior are not illegal. They are, in fact, in most cases - providing they do not cross a threatening or physical line - protected speech. And from what we are told on a regular basis by lobbyists, reporters and those familiar with the Capitol, these behaviors are standard operating procedure for those in power and far from home.
Apparently, a constitutional protection isn’t enough for the Florida Senate – not in today’s world of cowardess for the sake of correctness. We’re sorry that Frank Artilles walked the plank, the Florida Senate and all its hypocrisy deserved a very public airing of its dirty laundry. Perhaps that will happen on another day.
