Beckel was never one of us, but he was one of His, and that is far more eternally important. One might even say the same about Cal Thomas as an anti-Trumper.
At the risk of destroying any semblance of humility, on “love your enemies” Sunday two weeks back my sermon was entitled “Aristotle, Alinsky, and the Almighty.” It is far better to be conservative than revolutionary, but it is beyond all measure better to follow Christ, even and especially when He doesn’t make Aristotelian sense—like loving your enemies. Given the actions of Trudeau and Putin since the sermon, I am sorely tested and want to hate them the way conservatives hated Beckel, but that is not what Christ does, so it cannot be what I do. Cal Thomas may not understand Trump, but he understands this.
Pretty decent post
