…f compassionate immigration reform. How has that impacted your work? I get phone calls from LDS people who would identify themselves as politically conservative, but they say, “There’s this guy I know . . . Can you help him?

By Daniel Schultz

…e errors in column after column—which is exactly why most people who don’t buy into the WND perspective simply mock and move on. But something about this piece by Linda Harvey caught my attention..
