Counterrevolution

In Fr. O'Hare editorial, see below the link, there are many points we as American need to be aware of what politicians are doing.

There is a phrase I like to borrow that points to the drive of human nature toward power -

Power Corrupts, Absolute Power Absolutely Corrupts

We always need to be on the guard against nationalism, secularism, or any ism as an excuse to not LOVE.

Here is a quote from April, 1946 at the Nuremberg trials:

“Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of
the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag
the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can
always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to
do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.” – Herman Goering (Nazi
Reichsmarshall and Luftwaffe-Chief)

We can not afford to forget political leaders can get mis-guided. We need to be their vocal conscience to go back to the greatest of laws - LOVE.

Have your actions today been Good, Honorable, and True?
