Liberal Journalist Gets Marriage, the Bible, and Kim Davis Wrong
By Laurie Higgins   |   09.09.15
If Chicago Tribune columnist and arch-defender of all things sexually deviant, Rex Huppke, had the humility to know that he doesn’t understand the Bible, he might refrain from using it foolishly to mock Christians. In a column last week, he...
