I am not a hugger. I guess I was. My mother used to say I was quite the hugger until I was around ten years old. I don’t remember that but I will take her word for it.
In spite of not being a hugger, I know how to hug. I have no problem with hugging family and I have learned that some close friends are huggers. I deal with it. When I get introduced to some people and they get that look in their eye, I will ask them, “Are you a hugger?” If they are I go ahead and join in the ritual, but I avoid it if I can. Germs, you know.
So when Joe Biden says he came from an affectionate family, I can accept that. You have seen them. If it moves they hug it, unless it moves fast enough. If it doesn’t move, they hug it anyway. That may be how tree huggers got started. He could be simply a hugger but he is also a fool. Many people do not want to be hugged. Many children do not feel comfortable with strangers touching them. Many adults don’t want strange men touching their little girls. If he would simply accept that and modify his behavior I could deal with it.
His ideas and foot in the mouth scorched earth comments are another issue. That is a serious defect that disqualifies him from the presidency in my opinion. I think we should focus on his left wing ideology rather than his huginess.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
