“Most centrist Democrats... try to distance themselves from controversies that recall the 1960s. There are journalistic centrists as well, who avoid hard truths for the sake of acceptance and legitimacy.” TryingWellsHardAcceptanceDistanceDemocratSakeRecallsControversy1960sLegitimacyJournalisticHard Truths Book:Writings For A Democratic Society: The Tom Hayden Reader Source: Writings For A Democratic Society: The Tom Hayden Reader
“I do not recall another period when ‘faith’ was as popular as it is today. ‘If only we believe hard enough we'll make it somehow.’ So goes the popular chant. What you believe is not important. Only believe... What is overlooked in all this is that faith is good only when it engages truth; when it is made to rest upon falsehood it can and often does lead to eternal tragedy. For it is not enough that we believe; we must believe the right thing about the right One.” IfsBelieveDoeMadeImportantHardEnoughTodayPeriodsEternalTragedyRight ThingFalsehoodRecallsOverlooked Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
