RE: Gospel Democrats

But they also know that nowhere did Christ prescribe compulsory charity as a remedy for poverty. The liberals' attempt to buy their way into Heaven by extirpating indulgences from others is not what Jesus has in mind.

Very nice. I believe that someone on the BP has been repeatedly making that very point. Thanks, Patrick.

Which ought to explain something to the political Left that we on the Right have accepted as a given for decades now: government-run social welfare programs don't benefit the poor; they suspend them in penury.

Thomas Sowell addresses this in The Vision of the Anointed. I'll be posting some quotes from that source on the BP over the next few days.
