As in the song "Lawyers In Love" we have a land, a nation with too many in high places willing to do anything for money neglecting people, honor and principle but a change is coming. No more falling for the lie of living only individualistic and independent lives leaving us divided and conquerable by powerful special interests but a people, a nation collaborating for the greater common good in various groups all across the nation. A land of people working together to help one another with a vision moreover as Jesus would have us be. Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Kindness....something about another Land. The change is coming

The Religious Right Standard - Tax Cut Money Over People

At one time in our nation fundamental christianity supported issues of social justice as well as issues of personal morality but today as it turns out too many, questionably under the mantel of fundamental christian, on the religious right have become a throng of political and religious hypocrites pining after their tax cut money. Under the churning and grinding of the prosperity doctrine against the integrity of fundamental christianity the particular issues of social morality have become little more than peripherial moss hanging on the granite boulder of tax cut MONEY in the hearts of so many selfish but deceptively quaint "me oriented" right-wing people about the heartland. Those issues are means and excuses to an end, the end of getting more money, the new creed Reaganism gave the American heart back in the 80's. It was no longer a shame to be greedy but it was time to look out for No.1 self and the No.1 issue of getting more money at any cost and the rise of that spirit killed the social stigma against greed that was a part of Christian teaching for 1,950 years and turned a real spiritual rebirth in the 70's into a waxing cool subservience to the "prosperity" creed of the 80's. Thusly you have the falling society you have today reaping as it should economic collapse.

So in light of all this why should the world be drawn to any Christian teachings when the world can see it's associates are just hypocrites that so easily accepted landslide legislation for the rich without mandate with a heart where money trumps principle and profit is honor. If only you could sell greed and it's pursuit as an honorable purpose in the christian life and so you have tried that too so that now you're converts can be at peace with selling out to money but finally destitute of any real spiritual foundation. What remains is just emotional fervent passion in a house of cards built on sand in the eye of a hurricane but without spiritual eyes from a spiritual foundation how will you ever see it.

Tragically you do not and you will not and so it is how you so easily accept rightwing ideology as your family and friends suffer without health insurance. You see health insurance for everyone means tax money going to them, not you, and in your heart money trumps principle as it has now so many times over so many years.

Would any spiritual leader taken from the last, say, 100 years embrace a right-wing ideology?

Gandhi? King? the dahli-lama(sp?)?
