these problems. Bernie Sanders just spelled out the GOP agenda for America on Harman show. All Defense churches and charities to take care of the rest. Free market will balance out the problems with no regulations.

1. They are still fighting the New Deal

[gollygee]

And they are trying to completely revise history. They've rewritten the entire story of the Great Depression and FDR.

6. The GOP Has Been Playing This Toon Since Reagan.

[longship]

7. Moral Majority and Christian Coalition.

It started in the late seventies. We now see it everywhere in the GOP. The Christians have long since taken over the precinct, county, and state GOP positions. That the national convention is all but all Caucasion evangelical Christians is no accident; it was the plan from the beginning.

Now they all scream "This is a Christian country" at the top of their lungs.

Those of us active back then saw it happening and have no doubt as to their plans, their goals.

9. Since FDR to be exact, they hated the new deal!

They have been trying to get rid of those programs since they came into play. They are like dogs on the hunt they won't stop until they get some blood.

5. old old meme

Talk about out of touch....all church attendance way down, just where do churches get money nowadays?

[Ilsa]

8. So poor people have to make appearances

at religious services, maybe be pressured to join and tithe, even though they can't afford it.

Yeah, make the poor live in hypocrisy so they can gather a few crumbs. Screw dat.

11. And what if a poor person is an ATHEIST?

I suspect leaving charity to churches is a backdoor way of proselytizing.

[Ilsa]

12. Gotta get those nonbelievers back to

Buying the same crap (belief-wise) that made 'Murica great!

[DearHeart]

10. Are they really that fuckin stupid??

Who supplies the money to the churches?? The general public!! If they are hurting, they don't donate to the church, then in turn, the church cannot help the poor!!!

Are we going to have to go back to the practice of begging for alms from the rich??? Damn!

13. If churches adequately responded to poverty

none of these programs would have been created in the first place. They were created because millions and seniors were starving, cold and sick.

But there way of rationalizing it gives them an out. If you were a good and faithful servant favored by god, you wouldn't be poor in the first place. And if you get sick or die, it's just god's will. It also gives the the power to judge who is "worthy" of help -- meaning white people.

14. Well gee, the churches have stepped up brilliantly so far - nobody's needy now!

Oh wait....

15. many churches refer the poor to gov't agencies anyhoo

Not so many churches have food pantries or cash assistance these days.
