He is notoriously left leaning in his politics but he always refused to play a party line. If only his son had chosen to remain as uncommitted to a party as his father did. Carol,

Billy Graham is actually quite the hidden “liberal.” He is notoriously left leaning in his politics but he always refused to play a party line. If only his son had chosen to remain as uncommitted to a party as his father did.

Thank you for that. (loved your clergy for Obama post.) I think that the thing about our president-elect is that he wants to listen to all the voices, even the ones he doesn't agree with, the ones we don't agree with. I am hoping that polarization will decrease over these next 4-8 years. Not to bring up a dead horse, but this president-elect HAD a pastor that he trusted that dragged/was dragged a lot through the mud. So I don't know that our P-E is going to put all his eggs in one basket on that for a while, maybe he (and we) can focus instead of on the religious leaders on the Christ who unifies us as believers. xo, Suzi W. Carol,

While generalizing and labeling may save time, it greatly devalues what I think is the most best part of creation, our complexities. When it comes to issues of politics and faith, I want to trust pres-elect that he can/will/should listen to many perspectives and then make deliberate and thoughtful decisions. Knowing that he may in fact make decisions that sometimes go against what I believe is heartening in this day and age of over-polarization and misplaced loyalties.
