Warning of "generational injustice" and an unsustainable federal budget deficit, Evangelicals for Social Action President Ron Sider has resigned his membership in the AARP over its opposition to changes in Social Security and Medicare.....In a recent Huffington Post article, Sider, a longtime influential figure in the Evangelical Left, notes that the federal government spends about $4 on every senior over 65 and only $1 on every child under 18....

"Sider joins many other people of faith in concern that burdening future generations with endless massive debt is unfair and immoral

That's right, AARP - you're not going to get that $16 a year membership check from Ron Sider any more! You'll never recover from the loss!

Of course, children under 18 typically have parents to care for them and seniors over 65 typically don't.

Ironic, considering that AARP is a liberal organization that seldom wastes an opportunity to advocate policies that screw seniors.

Evidently they aren’t liberal enough to satisfy this jerk.

the Evangelical Left

Evangelical left = Oxymoron. I don't believe there is such a thing. The vast majority of liberalism, is anti Biblical.
