Jesus’ message was not to judge our fellow human beings, to let he who is without sin cast the first stone. If you owned millions of dollars in stock in Apple, would you insist they hire the most “squeaky clean” person as their CEO, or the guy who had the most creative ideas and the best business plan for making the company profitable? We don’t have the LUXURY of voting on personality with the economic and cultural crisis that our country is in now. We need someone who has the intelligence, the skill, the insight, the knowledge, the experience, the boldness, the toughness, and the conservative policy agenda to make things right. That is the only basis on which we should be picking a candidate.
Voting in a “nice guy” is probably the opposite of what we should be doing in an environment with as many vicious domestic enemies as there are vicious foreign enemies. We need a “tough guy” and the reality is that tough guys are generally not the purest and most moral people throughout their lives, because they can be a bit arrogant at times. But we need someone like that to be a leader who will be arrogant enough to not capitulate to our ruthless enemies domestic and abroad.
