Boromir Hope

Here’s a quote from the article linked below. It’s a review of this year’s National Conservatism Conference. Its written by Brad Littlejohn, a brilliant young man (at that time) I met years ago in Moscow Idaho.

“By late Monday morning, I had a disorienting realization, which I share with some sheepishness: for the first time in my adult life, I was hopeful about the future of our nation. That will inevitably sound corny or trite, but understand: although I have poured myself into the project of retrieving resources for bold and faithful Christian citizenship for the past ten years, although I have outwardly pooh-poohed counsels of despair and helmed an organization  committed to renewing Christian public witness, rather than retreating behind ecclesiastical strongholds, when I’ve been honest with myself, I’ve always said with Boromir, “It is long since we had any hope.””
