Has everybody read God’s Politics: Why the Right Gets it Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It, by Jim Wallis. He speaks to all of these issues and...
Values influence desires and they influence one’s understanding of justice and even competence. And I’m not talking in terms of black and white....
You’re not paying attention to the thread. You’re contradicting things that have already been explained and you’re misrepresenting what I said....
You understand that the language is called English and not American, right? So, whose spelling is more correct? :rolleyes:
I’m sure it would draw support, even from the left, but this is a moot point because no one can claim with a shred of credibility that this is...
I won’t disagree with you about the left, in the US or Canada for that matter. They have indeed become reactionary, but there is nothing...

That’s an interesting statement to be sure. It’s one to bookmark, but unfortunately I think that this administration’s credibility is so...
