A miracle happened last week. I agreed with a Republican presidential candidate. Well not so much Republican, but surprisingly, Rick Perry.
Redemption is part of my faith, Mr. Perry says. Me too. But alas, we still differ. Because, Mr. Perry, redemption is for the criminals you put to death in Texas, for the poor who need our help to get out of poverty, for the children who are uninsured, yes, even for the Democrats who disagree with you.
Redemption is not just for the rich, white, morally challenged co-candidate that might choose you as VP if he gets the nomination. Redemption is also for all those we think are undeserving or unaware or unlikable.
Dear Mr. Perry...keep trying. I will too.
