Jeremiah.

"Did not your father eat and drink and do justice and righteousness?  Then it was well with him.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy, then it was well.

Is not this to know me? says the Lord.

But your eyes and heart are only on your dishonest gain, for the shedding of innocent blood, and for practising oppression and violence."  Jeremiah 22:15-17 (NRSV)

Is not this the message of the Prophets?

To aid the poor and needy, not to seek dishonest gain through oppression and violence.

And is not this the difference between the Democrats and the Republicans?

Despite the fact that the Republicans wave the Bible and the Democrats do not!

Have they ever read the Bible?

The Book of Jeremiah is in the Old Testament.

I'm speechless.
