C. S. Lewis advises President Obama
By C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis, Christian apologist
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
And we are moving toward being ruled by “omnipotent moral busybodies” who are also “robber barons”.
Amen.
Of course… this is Lewis’ advice for all rulers! God bless the few who listen.
Chilling words indeed —- “i am from the government and i am here to help you!”
