Calling out his peers when they misstep
Haggard tells himself over and over that influence is on loan. In an instant, it could be gone. The men he moves with now - Tony Blair, Ariel Sharon - know it too, he believes. Being a preacher, Haggard believes his influence is on loan from God.
He intends to use it now, while he can, to transform the way evangelical Christians think about their engagement in public life, even if it means occasionally breaking ranks with a president he admires and calling out his peers when they misstep.
