Little Jeremiah -

Yes, but....

Yes, I agree that deceit and Truth often advance in
the vastly different ways that you outline.

But I believe that people of Truth must strive to be
an effective influence in the political fray as part
of our commission to be salt and light - and we need
to acknowledge that political parties are **not**
churches.

When we discuss politics and law (rather than Truth
and Law) we must consider that politics is the art
of the possible and that our success depends upon
addition rather than subtraction - joining with those
who partially agree with us rather than separating
from those who don't agree with us entirely.

- Gordon

p.s. If your point is that people of Truth ought to
avoid politics and law, then I have misunderstood your
posts.

I have a couple of minutes before my computer heats up too much...

I am *very strongly* in favor of righteous minded people serving in public office. I can't tell you how strongly in favor of that I am. I fully support (at least in words, and hopefully with money) rightminded candidates such as Alan Keyes, and Mike Gabbard in Hawaii. The more rightminded individuals run for office and succeed, the more this country has a chance.

But putting children in public screwels is a whole 'nother thing. Children need protection from leftist, hedonist, atheist, homo-jihadi indoctrination. Gov't schools are nothing more than educational indoctrination centers. Putting kids in schools is nothing more than sending them to a spiritual slaughter house.

But adults? It is our DUTY to do whatever we can - large or small - to save our country and indeed, the world, from the jihadis of all stripes.
