Presidents who insist on being spiritual leaders is clearly the wrong way to govern a free people.
The fact is that moral clarity can be found in the White House. The community-organizer-cum-street-preacher is not the first self-anointed spiritual leader to govern with moral clarity. Bill Clinton tried it in small doses, while Taqiyya the Liar is the first president to implement his personal OPINION of moral clarity to the point of bringing disaster to this country and to America’s allies.
Let me remind you that ‘moral clarity’ is a political catchphrase invented by, and for, right-wing thinkers long before Bill Bennett wrote about it.
NOTE: Ronald Reagan’s moral clarity was credited, in part, for defeating the Soviet Union. He expressed his moral clarity with a joke:
RR’s moral clarity was welcomed by Americans because it defeated an enemy that openly swore to kill them. Taqiyya the Liar’s moral clarity can be credited with helping enemies defeat America from within. The difference between Reagan and Taqiyya proves that moral clarity in presidents is a two-edged sword.
Finally, the only good thing that moral clarity ever did for the country proves that presidents should not be moral leaders. I, for one, do not need, or want, a president’s view of moral clarity unless he agrees with me —— not me agreeing with him. I’ll go see the pope whenever I feel the need for moral clarity.
Sharansky sees what is happening with a moral clarity not found in the White House or State Department.
