Personally, I find the comparison of Mr. Peroutka's decision to run for president with Jesus deciding to accept His ministry very offensive.

As for Jesus, He had chosen to enter upon the path before Him—a path of humiliation, suffering, and death in order to accomplish the divine plan of salvation. He knew the time had come when, after His suffering and resurrection, He would again be taken up and reinstated in His former glory with the Father and vested with the new glory He had won as Son of Man.

This Saturday, fully aware of the path awaiting him, Mr. Michael Peroutka will announce his candidacy for President of the United States. The decision to run for public office was not an easy one for this soft-spoken man. In his statement of candidacy he notes:

I can see your point there. It was a bit over the top. However from the perspective of doing something so unpopular and still pressing forward with it because he believes in the long forgotten concept of what used to be a Republic nonetheless, I have to give him some credit. It's refreshing to see a candidate that is willing to stand up and say "this is what the Constitution says my job is and that's what I'm doing" instead of the candidate who says 'Vote for me and see what I can give you".
