I don’t know why John Hawkins suddenly is listing quotes from C.S. Lewis, but bless him for it. Great stuff here.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

"1. Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive."
I guess Mr. Hawkins made that number one for a reason.

Are you being ironic? Christopher Hitchens could use this EXACT language to attack a Divine Dictatorship - probably, he did. Of course, we are to bow and scrape, because God just "LOVES" his children. Excuse me while I go barf.

Among my favorites, and I may get it wrong. "Humility is not thinking poorly of yourself; It is not thinking of yourself at all."
CS Lewis probably provided some of the best, most understandable apologetics for his era (and for ours).

so much appreciated...sad that the glare of his thoughts forces some to turn ever further to darkness. That was covered in "Thy will be done" I believe.

No one at Spectator needs to be hesitant about using C.S. Lewis quotations. He provides a lot of lasting wisdom. For the younger set here who might not know him, get his books -- straightaway. Although he has long passed away, his words are very relevant to our times.
