I found it! The Scriptural passage that guides the modern GOP
Let's give a big shout to Matthew 13:12!

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

3. The problem is, Jesus meant this SPIRITUALLY!!
Osteen and his word faith ilk forget that, Jesus isn't talking about material wealth he's talking about spiritual blessings.

Man the state I live in (Texas) is rife with word faith BS, it is literally on about a dozen channels, no wonder this state has so many "fakey" materialistic Christian types.
:mad:

2. Yup, that's the GOP philosophy in a nutshell.
It's not the "haves and have mores" that Bush gloats about (his so-called base). It's the "I want it all for myself and fuck everybody else" group that makes up Bush's base.

4. I consider Republicans to be a form of vegetable. So philosophies don't apply to them.
