C.S. Lewis remarked:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.[1]
Tagging political movements or individual politicians as tyrannical can be controversial, especially when done by Christians. There are some within my own persuasion (Protestant, evangelical, fiscally and socially conservative) who usually take 1 of 2 extremes – they refuse to comment for a variety of reasons and/or call everyone who disagrees with their own perspective tyrants. I think the truth lies somewhere between those 2 views.
