>we cannot keep watering down our principles by choosing the " lesser of the two evils".........
I've said repeatedly over these threads that "the lesser of two evils may be tomorrow's evil, and I'd rather be wrong today than sorry tomorrow."
The point being that evil is evil whether it is of the 9 1/2 degree or of the 9 3/4 degree, out of a max of ten.
I agree with your statement 100%, pollywog.
Well unfortunately we don't have Jesus Christ electioneering for President (and when he does rule it sure won't be because any mortal voted for him). We will have to wait till Heaven to see the Perfectly Righteous Party.
should read as:
"the lesser of two evils today may be tomorrow's evil, and I'd rather be wrong today than sorry tomorrow."
There are many comparisons with the climate of the day of the Founding Fathers. Massive change was underway then, too. They kept their cool, mainly by admitting that no matter how sure they were of their own judgement they might be ultimately wrong. So they went slowly, but with intense debate and put all the issues out in public for scrutiny. We have as many or even more heavy issue debates underway due to the effects of technology, and massive change is underway. We need to see this in total, not just a set of isolated issues.
