04/19/2005: "Frist’s War on Fiscal Infidels"

A key battle in the liberal assault on Christianity is happening in the ledgers of government. Liberal obstructionists, by demanding that changes to fiscal inflows be matched by equal changes to outflows (as Democratic Senators recently unanimously voted,) seek to wreck the entire edifice of Good Works being pursued by Republicans of faith. They are worthily opposed by Dr. Sen. Frist and his Holy Select, who recognize the importance of faith-based accounting towards achieving important societal goals. Happily, they handily (and almost unanimously) rebuffed Liberal obstructionism in this case. Republicans recognize the critical importance of increased funding for faith-based social services, as well as helping the military in its new role of spreading Christian values throughout the Middle East (the area we called the Holy Land the last time we needed to do this). At the same time, Republicans recognize the sinfulness of taxation. For example, consider the scriptural references to the hatred that people held towards tax collectors like Matthew. Here is a Pharisee’s prayer in Luke 18:11 “I thank you that I am not like that tax collector over there.” Then the tax collector confirmed this characterization with his own prayer: 13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even raise his face to heaven, but beat on his breast and said, ‘God, have pity on me, a sinner!’” This clearly shows that tax collectors (and by extension, all taxation) need to be scorned and rejected in the proper Christian manner. Liberals snicker at the fiscal result of increasing expenditures while reducing revenues, as if debt were some kind of a problem. What could possibly be wrong with starving the Beast by motivating future generations to cut government spending (since they’ll need that money to make interest payments)? After all, God give humanity dominion over Beasts. And our children should be happy to have us transferring their wealth to us, even if we’ll be dead when it comes time to repay. Two scriptures are particularly relevant. First is Luke 7:41-42. “There were two men who owed money to a moneylender,” Jesus began. “One owed him five hundred silver coins, and the other owed him fifty. 42 Neither of them could pay him back, so he cancelled the debts of both.” The meaning is clear: if you’re running up a debt, make it a BIG debt! You can tell that George W. was awake in bible study that day. Then consider Luke 6:34-35. “And if you lend only to those from whom you hope to get it back, why should you receive a blessing? 35 No! Lend and expect nothing back. You will then have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High God.” What better reward can we give to posterity than to make them children of the Most High God?
