CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY NOVEMBER 9, 2026
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS STATEMENT BY C.S. LEWIS: “IF I FIND IN MYSELF DESIRES WHICH NOTHING IN THIS WORLD CAN SATISFY, THE MOST PROBABLE EXPLANATION IS THAT I WAS MADE FOR ANOTHER PLACE.”
ARE TOO MANY OF US PLACING TOO MUCH FAITH IN POLITICS TO DELIVER WHAT POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT ARE INCAPABLE OF DELIVERING? DO WE THINK THAT CHANGING PARTIES FROM ONE TO THE OTHER AND BACK AGAIN WILL PROVIDE THE SOLUTIONS TO THE THINGS WE SEEK? AND EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT PARTIALLY DO SO, WOULD IT BE ENOUGH?
THE SECULAR PROGRESSIVES WHO WON IN LAST WEEK’S ELECTIONS STAND AGAINST ALMOST EVERYTHING CONSERVATIVES AND CHRISTIANS STAND FOR. THIS SHOULD MEAN THAT WE WHO WEAR THOSE LABELS – OR ARE LABELED BY OTHERS — SHOULD GET BACK TO THE BEDROCK PRINCIPLES AND TEACH YOUNGER PEOPLE WHY THEY SUCCEEDED IN THE PAST AND WHY THEY WILL WORK FOR THEM IF THEY EMBRACE WHAT THEIR GRANDPARENTS AND PREVIOUS GENERATIONS BELIEVED. AGAIN, THIS WAS WHAT THE LATE CHARLIE KIRK WAS ABOUT.
FOR THOSE OF US WHO FOLLOW JESUS WE SHOULD RETURN TO OBEYING HIS COMMANDS WHICH INCLUDE LOVE YOUR ENEMY, PRAY FOR THOSE WHO PERSECUTE YOU, VISIT THOSE IN PRISON AND CARE FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS. LET OUR LIGHT SO SHINE THAT THE WORLD WILL STAND BACK AND MARVEL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
