An accurate assesment when it comes to power, and that there are LESSERof two evils– in this case…..MUCH MUCH less. Even something of a chance that Kerry (for me) will show some of his previously shown courage and “investigative” exposure of deception.
Our concern “for the least of these” may be a compelling reason to support Augustus over
Nero in the quest to be Caesar-not all versions of imperial power are the same. But our enthusiasm for imperial politics should always be tempered by a certain restlessness and dissatisfaction, a wariness and dispassion. Jesus Christ is not only our beginning, motivating us to undertake political acts, but he is also our end, a place far beyond where politics can ever take us.
