Where Is the God of Justice? (6 of 9)
Series: God's Last Word to a Lost Generation

You look in politics. Politics is a dirty business. And you look in politics at some of the things that people do, and they tell lie after lie after lie to get elected. And then they get elected and do the opposite. And you say, “Wait a minute. Weren't you the guy, weren't you the lady that said just six months ago that you would never do this, or you were going to do that? And then you get in office and you do something else. We say, “Where is the justice?” You know, if you're like ...
