I was glad to hear that he has taken a more active role in helping Christians to understand that politics is not outside the para [...]

“Washington wants only more of some people’s money… Out of envy, they are saying, ‘Yes. Tax those people at the top.’” Why are the prices so good in America for many commodities?

Conservative Christians are the target of the claim that religion and politics do not mix. But there is almost no criticism of mixing religion and politics by liberal and left-leaning political groups.
