Reply #7: This is an incredible piece of work . . . . .

I bought "Imperial Hubris" right before the election - and honestly have been in such a funk since the election that I forgot I even have it. Perhaps reading this will give me the courage, or if not the courage, the understanding to face whatever comes next.

I have often wondered at how differently I feel when I read (or hear) King's words and references to the Lord, versus Bush's references. I try never to judge another man's faith, but when I read King, I see light and hope, but Bush rings empty and hollow.

I believe King's purity of spirit and motive allowed him to interpret the right direction and message from God's word - and it does indeed feel "Godly". Unfortunately, I feel the latter lacks that purity and therefore it feels false. The mystery for me is why it does not feel that way to others.
