“But, you believe whatever you wish.”
I believe,,,It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
Men will do whatever is in their hearts to do, whether good or evil. I work against it as much as possible in my human state, but I’m not wasting my life being in constant fear of the evil.
I’m not asking you to “waste your life being in constant fear of evil” ... However, I am pleading with you to be prudent, to judge the issue on previous examples of what has always led to a very bad outcome. Yes, men have the capacity and free will to do good or not (being indifferent - which is the true opposite of charity, not “hate” is worse than doing bad). All the more reason to jealously guard your liberties, since, in the end, it is we who are ultimately responsible for what happens to us - both as individuals, and as a nation.
“Working against evil” must necessarily include the virtue of prudence. And I say to you that it is very imprudent, to ignore the real possibility of a improper relationship / influence between Goldman & Sachs and the POTUS, when considering all that has come to pass thus far. To ignore the danger of such an outcome only because Ted Cruz (or any other individual) speaks the right words now, plays his cards handily, appears a man of integrity, etc., does not bode well in the context of what has already proven itself as bad precedent. Again, how many times must we go through this crony capitalism (especially in the case of GS) before we wise up? And considering the unfathomably large sums of derivative funds to which GS is liable, it is incredible that any her should dismiss so flippantly the potential for mischief and malfeasance that exist in this instance.
