Questioning those you admire requires more courage then hurling stones at enemies

[debbierlus]

Seeking & speaking truth are always the right path. And, there is a simple litmus test. If you truly believe something, it will apply to all people and situations. And, I think the best way to keep political leadership in check is to apply this test to all politicians. Always put the policy over the politician. The deed above the words.

Our hope does not lie in any politician, only our ability to see and speak truth.

2. To blindly trust your government(or any individual)

is to be a fool. Always question everything!

3. I can agree with this...I guess thats why I'm happy with the PE,

he's not in office yet so there are no policies in place with which I disagree.

I cannot recommend this post highly enough.

7. Speak truth to power, and power will respect you.

I try to be closer to "on truth" than "on message", because messages sometimes have less than truthful aims.

11. Thank you. Are you listening?

Thank you. I appreciate this very much. I am growing very weary of the growing implication that there must be a democratic 11th commandment to match the GOP's 11th commandment.
