Ah yes, the United States finds itself in its quadrennial blizzard of political rhetoric. There was a time in my life when I loved politics, but not so much, anymore. I still love it when politics is motivated by the public good, and not, as is most always the case, by financial gain (this, by definition, makes me a cynic).

None of our major political parties has a monopoly on truth. In fact, it appears that truth and American politics have nothing whatsoever to do with one another. If you want to make sense of the politics of the next few months, you have to be smarter than a commentator.

Here’s my recommendation: Get David T. Koyzis’s book, Political Visions and Illusions. Dr. Koyzis is a friend, a long-distance colleague, and a fellow Bethel alum, and his book is a great help in making sense of our foolish committment to political illusion. See beyond the smoke and mirrors. Read this book. And read his blog.
