There Should Be No Poor Among You

     If this is to be a Christian nation – founded on Judeo-Christian values – let this be the baseline standard: “There should be no poor among you.” Deuteronomy 15:4 We can argue over words and names and the interpretation of the law, all of our internal religious disputes. But let this be the minimal standard: “There should be no poor among you.”

    But there are billions in amusements and billions in military spending. Always billions more uncounted. And those budget cuts are never an option. There is always money for guns and butter. Let the poor starve. The free-market has spoken.

    “Do you have any better ideas, whiz kid? Smart alec. Jackass.”

    “Defund the military. Demilitarize the police. Feed the poor.”

    The cold air operators and cold war operatives recoil in horror. Taped phone conversations are tagged, flagged, and reviewed. Who is this criminal? Who is this asshole?

    “A sociopath, obviously.” This is their detailed analysis. “A commie libtard with a poor memory. We have all the evidence that we need: the phone calls are real. The photos are authentic.”    

    “Blessed are the poor and the hungry…”

    “...the poor in spirit! It says the poor in spirit, you illegal piece of shit. You’re not entitled to a damned thing except hostility and bodily harm.”

    Blood and hair. Bone and blood. Drag marks in the dirt. Hanging and beating in the public park with all the other liberal scum. Strung up and left bleeding. “This is the way. This is way things are. Who are you to object? Who are you to complain? We stomp commies like you.”
