The Rich.


Who were Ronald Reagan's allies?

Billionaires, Hollywood Studios, Media-Moguls.

And yet he claimed justification by God.

Ronald Reagan was a politician not a priest.

And his campaign was political not spiritual.

George W. Bush said: "Some people call them the rich; I call them my base."

And Donald Trump was himself a billionaire.

So how can the Republican Party claim to be endorsed by God?

Conservatives have used the media they own to hoodwink the public into thinking that they are justified.

Christianity is supposed to be "good news for the poor" not a bonanza for the rich.

Jesus said: "You cannot serve God and wealth." Matthew 6:24 (NRSV)

So Conservatism is spiritually bankrupt.

Because it serves the rich.
