It raises a completely legitimate point. IF Rev Wright is the sort of person Obama has looked to for over 20 years for spiritual guidance. As President, who is he going to appoint to his cabinet? To be Judges? To fill Ambassadorships? To work in the Fed Bureaucracy?
“Not Valuing Truth Results in Blindness
Blindness is characteristic of organizations and leaders that do not value truthfulness in their relationships. This is because truth telling has been stifled in a loyalty-based organizations or individuals. Because there is no honest feedback, they will often be blind to their abusive behavior and honestly wonder why others are reacting. There will be
no one to tell them that it is wrong to shift the blame for difficulties in the relationships to the victims of their abusive behavior.
The value of truth is what keeps a local church or any organization from becoming like a cult. Honoring the truth-teller is a characteristic of godly relationships. Dishonoring the truth-teller is a characteristic of cults. Cultic behavior, which always includes blindness, will result from an overemphasis of loyalty above the truth. Leaders must understand that their own desire for loyalty may overcome truthfulness in their subordinates. They must actively cultivate truthfulness along with loyalty in their subordinates.”

It seems to me in this day and age the truth teller gets labeled the villain. It’s and upside down world we live in.
When did we stop honoring the truth teller? Thank God for the NC Republican Party for honoring the truth and exposing the American Left’s agenda.
