    Republicans very own "Golden Calf"

    The displaying of Trump's golden statue at the CPAC has drawn the inevitable biblical comparisons much to the amusement of many. I am not American so I obviously don't vote in American elections, but if I did I would have serious reservations about a party that promotes itself by displaying...
