Guns in church? 'Love casts out fear. No guns here.'
Scott Anderson, executive director of the Wisconsin Council of Churches, in the organiization's monthly newsletter:
Love Casts Out Fear. No Guns Here.
Thanks to Pastor Jeff Wild of Advent Lutheran Church in Madison for this creative and prophetic church property sign in response to the recently-passed “concealed carry” law in Wisconsin.

Perez is something of a progressive's dream appointment -- he's fought for minority and worker rights, stood up to the mortgage-lending industry when few others predicted how their unscrupulous practices would lead to economic disaster, and perhaps most important, he's a career civil-rights attorney who is familiar with how the civil-rights division is supposed to work -- with an emphasis on the expertise of career attorneys, not the agendas of the political appointees who supervise them.
Sounds pretty qualified, don't you think? So what's the problem?
