Just in case anybody is mad at me... I’m a newbie! You are supposed to read the piece. It is actually written by a self-described atheist, but it slams BO for his hypocritical invoking of the almighty to sell his plan.
Here’s an excerpt:
While we have no clue what Jesus would make of a public option, we do have plenty of evidence that government tends to act immorally, corruptly, and incompetently—especially a government with too much power. And the self-righteous elected official who has complete moral certitude on his side also has a tendency to ignore any other concerns. That detail has been painfully obvious in this debate.
“It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies,” wrote C.S. Lewis, a man who knew a thing or two about religion. “The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
I thought that was pretty good stuff!
