LeCastor Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Carter was a FOOL for failing to make every effort to keep a friend of the United States and of liberal western values in power. As I noted earlier, the Sermon on the Mount is the last word in personal ethics, but it's not the basis upon which ministers of government are given their portfolios. Politics is DIFFERENT than personal morality. If you don't understand that, you are naïve, in my opinion. I have been called naive twice in the span of seven days! Seattle, you are entitled to your opinion--and we certainly know your opinion by now--but to call people "fools" and suggest that dishonesty is the best policy is, in my opinion, contrary to what we're trying to accomplish in our Scouting movement. I want a governor who is honest and I want a president who is honest and if that makes me naive so be it. As for continually calling out "liberals" on this forum perhaps it would be more constructive to refrain from name-calling and finger-pointing. I don't think that gets us anywhere positive.
