Is it appropriate for religious leaders to weigh in on controversial House Bill 2? Former Bishop Will Willimon thinks so. “Politics is about power, and Jesus commanded us not just to think good thoughts but actively to do good deeds,” he writes.
Poll data suggest that Americans do not trust Hillary or her character. “The best way for Clinton to respond to all this is to talk candidly, and emotionally, about the values she learned as a child and a young woman,” writes historian Bill Chafe, author of “Hillary and Bill: The Clintons and the Politics of the Personal.” “Doing so would clarify, dramatically, the foundational beliefs that have guided virtually all of her political activities.”
“That (Gov.) McCrory would seek out this wrong-side-of-history position reveals a lot about the fractured and desperate state of the Republican Party.”
