middle ground


To counter my blast on Palin, here (link) is a good argument based on the Pope's latest encyclical that the way forward is not by rigidly aligning ourselves behind a party or a leader but by aligning ourselves with the Kingdom of God, "our present political alignments are not the only ones imaginable... truth may not be served by perfect ideological conformity". Should Christians worry about government redistributing wealth? Probably not. But at the same time we should emphasize the importance of a decentralized government. great article, and the Pope usually has a lot of insightful things to say too!
