Deregulation, In Jesus’ Name
Every once in a while it is important to remind ourselves that the Religious Right doesn’t want our nation’s laws to reflect Biblical principles only on issues like abortion or gay marriage, but on all laws.
And though we tend to forget that from time to time, fortunately they are willing to remind us, which is what David Barton and Rick Green of Wallbuilders did today, laying out the case for complete economic deregulation on the grounds that that is what the Bible says that Christians should be free to do as they please, while laws and regulations should only be targeted at “the bad people.”
As an added bonus, the guest on today’s radio program was Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX), whom you may remember as the man who screamed “baby killer” at Rep. Bart Stupak during the health care debate, who slammed the idea of bailing out companies because they will never learn their lesson if we don’t let them go out of business
