Ah yes, old George, the guy who owned slaves. Sold slaves who didn’t obey him- even though he didn’t really like to sell slaves and separate them from their loved ones and obviously felt it wasn’t right. But he wouldn’t stand for the defiance because business trumped morality, and he was struggling with debt.
Brilliant mind it is true... thank God we had him at such a crucial time, but a sinner, not a saint. I think owning and disciplining slaves to obey is a far greater error than anything our candidates do today. Yet God made use of him, and through him and many others that sin of stripping men of their freedom was dealt a hard blow.
Let he who is without sin, keep on chucking rocks... and see what it gets you. But we would be better off instead of trashing candidates for their shortcomings, if we just promoted the ones we favor most by their merits.
We should take Reagan’s advice. Reagan himself said , roughly paraphrasing : don’t let perfection be the enemy of good.
Ha! You are just part of the conspiracy! < / sarc >
