It’s time the left got religion

Something worth watching tonight, whereever you sit in the political spectrum, is an interview on Hearts and Minds with Jim Wallis, author of God’s Politics: Why the American Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn’t Get It. This interview with Mother Jones, and another in the Observer should be a good primer. Sounds like John Bell on the Today programme (sound file) may have be acting under the influence of Wallis’ ideas. Get a wee sneaky look at last week’s edition online before it gets wiped!

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported.
