There is a reason I posted it here in this thread. Timeless values of dignity and freedom are pronounced in most eloquent words. I found it beautiful. I do not wish to dwell for a moment on whatever political machinations and compulsions may exist behind the scenes. I choose to take the beauty and depth of the truths spoken.
if you are being 'inspired' by someone who acts totally contrary to what he speaks, there is a serious problem there, in regard to telling truth from lies in regard to spirituality.
the 'political machinations' you have so easily dismissed in favor of the 'beauty and depth of the truth spoken', actually are made work for that very person speaking those words to betray those truths.
this is a serious problem.
