QUOTE: good point:
"Dude! Politicians seek re-election. Only the very best statesman can rein in our passions and lead us to justice in the process, and there aren't many around these days. And while you may be able to cost the President re-election by not voting for him, but don't be so arrogant as to think you can enable him to win it - or solve all our problems - simply by stirring up other religious conservatives. There are a lot of people out there who need convincing, and that is the bottom line.
We'd be better off giving leaders less credit for their accomplishments and less blame for their errors, because we, the voters and activists, are the material and instruments of American politics - we make all things possible or not. If you want to make America better, and want Bush to be a better leader in an election year, YOU have got to motivate and energize HIM -- YOU have got to provide the leadership so that the White House can act. Lay down some fire, and not just the brimstone kind."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
