Lots of hypocrisy, selfishness, stupidity and unChristian attitudes are exposed in this article, but I like seeing how these "Christians" are completely unconcerned with slashing benifits for the poor, a group that Jesus said a few words about.
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, said the government's role should be to encourage charitable giving, perhaps through tax cuts.Hey everybody! Free food and shelter at Tony Perkins' house! He's not one to shirk his Biblical responsibilities.
"There is a [biblical] mandate to take care of the poor. There is no dispute of that fact," he said. "But it does not say government should do it. That's a shifting of responsibility."

So the New Testament says lots and lots about helping the poor, but doesn't specifically recommend government as the solution, so that's wrong.
But the New Testament says nothing about gay marriage or abortion, so the government should get involved in those?
If these people were smart enough to recognize the intellectual inconsistencies in their own arguments, their heads would explode.
I also love how the US claims to be the most giving (in total dollars) - when you look at giving per person, not so much giving as "screw you, Mellon" to quote "Back to School."
PS - Hard work connecting a Rodney Dangerfield movie to Jesus and taxes.
. . . help put another pound of expensive makeup on the face of that TBN hag with the Brillo fright wig?
Classic.
You guys said it. These relativists make me sick. One day they say our policies should be suffused by (or is it "suffused with"?) Judeo-Christian values (and we all know they really don't mean the "Judeo" part), and the next they're saying our policies should have nothing to do with religious values. Make up your mind, flip floppers!
