The Essential Uncharitableness Of American Conservatives

And if this woman were black, conservatives would say:
Get a job. 
Then moonlight.

Fact-Checking Bernie Sanders: "99% Of New Income Goes To The Top 1%"

A Rise In Wealth For The Wealthiest 7%, Declines For The Other 93%. And The 1%?


"Automation, Robotization, Software-Enhanced Productivity And Permanent Job Loss"

The Hard Central Fact Of Contemporary Conservatism:
Essential Uncharitableness

The hard, central "fact" of contemporary "conservatism" is its insistence on a socio-economic threshold above which people deserve government assistance, and below which people deserve to die. 

The sooner the better. 

Unless conservatives are showing n'er-do-wells The Door of Doom, they just don't "feel right." 

To allay this chthonic anxiety, they resort to Human Sacrifice,  hoping that spilled blood will placate "the angry gods," including the one they've made of themselves. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/09/harvard-study-45000-americans-die.html 

Having poked their eyes out, they fail to see  that self-generated wrath creates "the gods" who hold them thrall

Almost "to a man," contemporary "conservatives" have apotheosized themselves and now -- sitting on God's usurped throne -- are rabid to pass final judgment. 

Alternatively, G.K. Chesterton embodies such abundance of generosity that he would not wish eternal damnation on anyone. In his greatest work, Orthodoxy, the Jolly Giant even expresses Universalism: "To hope for all souls is imperative; and it is quite tenable that their salvation is inevitable." 

Self-proclaimed Christians, eager to thrust "the undeserving" through The Gates of Hell, are the very people most likely to cross its threshold. 

Remarkably, none of them are tempted to believe this. 

"Love Your Enemies. Do Good To Those Who Hate You," Luke 6: 27-42

"Do You Know What You're Doing To Me?"
Jesus of Nazareth
