Veteran Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel made an impassioned plea to religious leaders Friday, calling on them to lobby members of Congress and the Obama administration to remember the "lesser of my brothers and sisters" during this weekend's debt negotiations.Interesting how pro-separation of church and state Democrats are so quick to go to religious leaders when they're in a pinch.
"What would Jesus do this weekend? Or Moses. Or Allah. Or anyone else," the New York congressman said at a press conference on Capitol Hill. "I don't want this book (debt negotiations) closed without the clergy having an opportunity to forcefully express themselves as well as I know they can do."Well, if they were genuine clergy rather than leftists posing as religious leaders, they would invoke common-sense scriptures that are clearly anti-debt, like these:
8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other... - Romans 13:8
21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives;In addition, it is clear in the Bible that when you owe someone, you are considered a slave to the debt owner. In that regard, going into debt is warned against. But let's get back to Rangel who may want to read one of the commands from Jesus Himself: "give to Caesar what is Caesar's, give to God what is God's." You see, Charles Rangel is a bona fide tax cheat and believes God wants him in office still: Corruptocrat Charles Rangel (D-NY): GOD told me not to retire. Once again, here's to you Mr. tax-cheating lying sac of crap Harlem Congressman:
