President was advised to ‘eliminate’ the poor and illiterate Does former U.S. president Bill Clinton, and elite elements within the Democratic Party – which has ostensibly identified itself as the party of the downtrodden working man – secretly despise poor people?

Stronach was thought to be interested in the leadership, but party rules that limited spending and fundraising and emphasized party connections were probably prohibitive for the former Magna International executive. Godfrey, a [...]
It's remarkable how theologically conservative Catholics and Protestants have come to appreciate over the past 30 years, that on many theological and moral issues, they have much more in common with each other than with liberal members of their own respective churches.
