Amen, Kristof!

"Bleeding-heart liberals could accomplish far more if they reached out to build common cause with bleeding-heart conservatives . . . . In parts of Africa where bandits and warlords shoot or rape anything that moves, you often find that the only groups still operating are Doctors Without Borders and religious aid workers: crazy doctors and crazy Christians. In the town of Rutshuru in war-ravaged Congo, I found starving children, raped widows and shellshocked survivors. And there was a determined Catholic nun from Poland, serenely running a church clinic.

Unlike the religious right windbags, she was passionately “pro-life” even for those already born — and brave souls like her are increasingly representative of religious conservatives." ~Nicolas D. Kristof, Evangelicals a Liberal Can Love
