Patheos blogger here at the Progressive Christian Channel, Adam Erickson, just now posted a disturbing citation from The Los Angeles Times concerning Russiagate. Adam concludes his post, “James Comey: Lies, Truth, and American Courage,” as follows:
“If Russia did attempt to change the outcome of the U.S. election, it learned how to do so from watching the U.S. The Los Angeles Times reports that, “The U.S. has a long history of attempting to influence presidential elections in other countries – it’s done so as many as 81 times from 1946 and 2000.”
“When we look at Russia with disdain for meddling in our elections, we look into a mirror. Looking into that mirror might be uncomfortable, but it reveals the truth about ourselves. We need the courage to tell that truth, so that we can have a future with fewer lies.”
Amen! But then, how much of those 81 times was tit-for-tat in the Cold War?
