CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JANUARY 14, 2021
WITH LESS THAN A WEEK BEFORE PRESIDENT TRUMP LEAVES OFFICE WHAT ARE WE TO MAKE OF HIS ONE TERM? YES, HE DID MORE FOR THE COUNTRY IN FOUR YEARS THAN ANY OTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT – FROM TAX CUTS, TO A BOOMING ECONOMY, TO IMMIGRATION, TO THE COURTS AND MIDDLE EAST. BUT HE OBSCURED THESE WITH HIS CORRUPT PERSONALITY, LANGUAGE AND BEHAVIOR TOWARDS OTHERS. HE SNATCHED DEFEAT FROM THE JAWS OF VICTORY AND HIS DEMISE CAME WITH THE CAPITOL RIOTS.
MIKE PENCE, THE VICE PRESIDENT, DISPLAYED EVERY CHARACTER QUALITY AND POLICY STAND FAVORED BY EVANGELICALS AND YET THEIR LOYALTY WAS LESS TO HIM AND MORE TO TRUMP, A THRICE MARRIED, VULGAR MAN. WHY? I’VE HEARD ALL THE ARGUMENTS AND HAVE AGREED WITH SOME OF THEM. WE’RE NOT ELECTING A PASTOR WAS ONE. NO, BUT WE ARE SHOWING OURSELVES TO EACH OTHER AND THE WORLD WHAT WE THINK OF CHARACTER WHEN WE SAID IT MATTERED WITH BILL CLINTON AND OTHER PRESIDENTS.
PERHAPS WE SHOULD TALKE A BREAK FROM THE NEWS AND POLITICAL COMBAT AND FOCUS ON THE THINGS GOD CARES ABOUT, NOT WHAT CONSUMES WASHINGTON. WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD THAT MAKE IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR NATION’S LIFE? LET’S TRY IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
