Republicans Are Running Afoul of the Important Teachings of Jesus Christ. Perhaps nothing is so frightening in America as the belief by many "Christian" funda- mentalists that Republicans are the "party of God," since they oppose abortion and homo- sexuality, two issues that, ironically, Jesus said nothing about. What He did condemn explicitly and frequently was the evil of wealth. (Remember passing a camel through the eye of a needle?) The Republicans have steadfastly enacted policies that give more money to the wealthiest Americans and deprive the poor of programs that help them, Jesus, and the Democrats, are for the working people and the poor. _______________________________________ Kerry Miller - 'Newsweek'Click Here to Enlarge Cartoon and Download
