Actually the truest liberal of all — one who is liberal in the old fashioned sense, not the current self-willed sense — would believe very much in what God believes in.

In some of Bill’s wiser and more poignant (however brief) moments, he seems to have tried to approach this. That doesn’t award him a halo; it does mean that the call of God is not in vain even when made to the proverbial stones.
Let’s not ourselves willingly fall into the folly of Eden, where we have to know it all. Let’s look for places where God might be operating, and pray to Him that there would be more.
I’m not real sure how much the call of God has ever hit Bill Clinton...If ever...
