re: #127 calochortus

Well, gah. I had to go listen to this speech myself. Aside from being a nasty piece of work, I don’t think he’s read the New Testament lately. When he goes on about taxes confiscating people’s wealth, he seems to neglect the “render unto Caesar” teaching. And I don’t recall a single Biblical injunction against government helping the poor.
But, his audience was enthusiastic…

I’ve never really picked up on that much…hostility…in the New Testament.
