The Christian Science Monitor article on (just recently) former presidential speech-writer Michael Gerson is a good read. It talks about his relationship with President Bush, and the dynamic of speech-writer as influence to the presidency.

One notable comment he made as a Christian stood out to me:

I don’t believe that particularly Christian faith can be identified with any party or any ideology … properly understood, it has to stand in judgment of every party and every ideology with a passion for human dignity, and justice, and rights.”

In our age where ever Christian wants to claim their political views as “the” Christian view, I appreciated his humilty on the topic.
