Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency


I just watched the beginning of the Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency, in which Pastor Rick Warren is asking questions of both Senators Obama and McCain.

I'm not sure what the senators will have to say, but if either of them say anything half as enlightened as Rick Warren's comments to begin the discourse, I will be encouraged.

"I have to tell you upfront, both these guys are my friends. I don’t happen to agree with everything either of them teach or believe, but they both care deeply about America. They’re both patriots. And they have very different views on how America can be strengthened. Now, in America we’ve gotta learn to disagree without demonizing each other. And we need to restore civility in our civil discourse." -Rick Warren
