there is the difference between righteous indignation at evil...and gloating when the enemy falls. When we defeat evildoers at the polls we can then be kind, show grace and not rub their noses in it....while yet firmly calling for prosecution for vote fraud. Likewise, calling for the death penalty for murderers is the way we are to purge evil from our land, as we also support Chuck Colson's prison ministry and similar worthy organizations. Arrogant gloating doesn't connect with hurting people, kind words, attitudes and deeds do.... "Love Your Enemies"
