It’s looking that way. I like them both. Both are heads and shoulders morally above Rudy.

Part of our problem today is we don’t expect/demand/call for virtue in our leaders. When that’s the reality, we get things like the gay agenda forcing our kids towards an understanding that what we believe is immoral is just perfectly natural, and many other things.

James Madison wisely noted: “There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent an sudden usurpation.”

And William Penn stated: “If thou wouldst rule well, thou must rule for God, and to do that, thou must be ruled by him....Those who will not be governed by God will be ruled by tyrants.”

The totalitarianism of the PC movement is a prime example of that.

John Adams warned us in 1776:

“The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure, than they have it now, they may change their Rulers and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty.”

Virtue, a well-defined moral sense of natural law and a willingness to see behind the screeds of those who want to call good bad and bad good counts.

Pelosi, Reid, and even Guiliani show by their past and present actions that they are quite deficient in these areas.

The fact that we even have to defend right to life on this thread shows a weakness in the sense of right and wrong that has permeated the US.

Very well said! I couldn’t agree more!
