Religion and Politics In 2012 - Diane Rehm Show




Alan: This is an exceptionally good Diane Rehm Show. 

E.J. Dionne is particularly insightful. 

He describes the overwhelming preference of Catholics for Social Justice rather than single issue obduracey over abortion that characterizes fundamentalist and Evangelical passion for intransigence, not only on religious matters but in politics as well.

Frontline,produced by PBS gives us a real glimpse of politics and churches in their series "God in America". The wealthy have used their cash to buy the pulpit of churches to hypnotize the people.The War on Education by Conservatives did not start with Ronald Reagan,but was the target of the Scopes Monkey trial,and even before and including the Civil War.Money talks,and even GOD and Jesus must shut up and listen.
This is a must see eye opener.Watch at PBS ,You Tube,or Netflix instant.
