From Steven Waldman, Political Perceptions : The Religification of John McCain, in today’s WSJ Online:
In the past, Sen. McCain has tended to emphasize a sense of duty as the key to his survival in Vietnam. “Glory belongs to the act of being constant to something greater than yourself, to a cause, to your principles, to the people on whom you rely, and who rely on you in return,” he wrote. “A filthy, crippled, broken man, all I had left of my dignity was the faith of my fathers. It was enough.“
(Emphasis added.)
That pretty much sums up what I admire (and would hope to imitate) about Jesus of Nazareth.
