Robert Jeffress: A candidate's faith should matter to voters

By Robert Jeffress, Washington Post | Oct. 21 at 6:40 a.m.

Hearing political pundit Bill Bennett refer to me as a bigot and GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman call me a moron after my controversial comments on Mormonism, amid calls for civility and tolerance in public discourse, reminds me of the exclamation: "We will not tolerate intolerance!"

By KATHLEEN PARKER, Washington Post | Oct. 20 at 12:09 a.m.

The call by some members of the black media for African-Americans to support President Obama in racial solidarity is a terrible idea. Just as terrible as women supporting women only because of their sex, or any other group viewing the world solely through the narrow prism of its own experience.

Conservative Christians don't 'oppose science'

By John H. Evans, Los Angeles Times | Oct. 18 at 12:08 a.m.
