Lindsey Olin Graham is dead.

He served the State of South Carolina in one form or another for 36 years, the last 23 of which were as a United States Senator.

Lindsey Graham postured himself as a man of integrity and honor, a patriot's patriot, who put service to country above all else.

A Christian.

But the reality is he was anything but.

Lindsey Graham was a servant of sin, and his life embodied at its core at least five of the cardinal sins of mankind: pride, greed, wrath, envy, and lust.

Lindsey Graham had an excessive belief in his abilities, and that of the causes he purported to support. Pride is considered the original and most serious sin, leading to a sense of superiority over all others.

Lindsey Graham was a proud man, in the most negative and damnable sense of the word.
