Whay is a more complete list of well-known writers on economics?

I believe economics is religion applied to government, and therefore would want to see how John Locke and Adam Smith, two educators highly influential on our Foundinf Fathers, ought to stack up against Marx and other socialism theorists.

Brooke Fosse Westcott, Bishop of Durham and co-author of the Westcott and Hort Critical Greek Text, was the main theorit of the "Social Gospel" and first president of England's Christian Socialist Party.

I wonder if anyone realizes the some of the most adamant socialists in our country are the ministers of the large Protestant denominations, who constitute and propagate the idea of "liberal elitism."

Of course, Catholicism is at the center of union of church and state, together with its inseparable companion of government control of economics.

Our Founding Fathers were of a different sort of Ptotestantism than that which proceeds out of today's seminaries, very different.

Please note that Hillary Rodham (Clinton) is essentially the product of the diligent application of the mid-20th century Methodism's "Social Gospel" (with the emphasis on "social") as applied through her local seminary-trained youth minister (click here).

It is that influence that makes truth not a very precious thing to her then, and combined with the born depravity of original sin, not only unalleviated but magnified by the modern moral relativism inculcated by her "religious" training, has yielded the amoral monster that she is today, above and totally disrespectful of any law but her own will, inflicting her will-kill-if-necessary power on unwilling subjects.

That is why I am poinmting out the continuing socialistic effect of the major denominations on the downfall of republican democracy to the socialism that is being boosted throughout our local, county, state, and national governments.

My prayer is that this Free Republic Forum will never yield to that influence.

My desire is that others will also contribute to sustain the principle of this forum that opinion is "free"; that is, without price to the casual participant, but not without cost and responsibility to those who are committed to provide a home for expressing conservative precepts.

Now is a good time to back up opinion with some gladly donated bucks.
