Matt covered the insanity brought on by climate change protesters at the Democratic National Committee's summer meeting this week. But, it isn't just the party crashers who are saying truly outlandish things, it's also the invited speakers. Progressive Pastor Rev. William Barber challenged Republicans on whether or not socialism is moral. He even invited the debate, saying Jesus would support the economic system. Luckily, we have Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw to explain to the preacher just how wrong he is. "When we embrace moral language, we must ask does our policy care for the least of these? Does it lift up those who are most marginalized and dejected in our society? Does it establish justice? That is the moral question," Rev. William Barber said to applause. "If someone calls it socialism, then we must compel them to acknowledge that the Bible must then promote socialism, because Jesus offered free health care to everyone, and he never charged a leper a co-pay," he added.
"The Bible says a nation will be judged by how it treats the poor and the sick and women and the immigrants," Barber continued. "The Bible says that God makes it rain on the just and unjust alike. If you want to call caring for folks socialism, then the Constitution is a socialist document because it calls us to promote the general welfare and to establish justice." This is something leftists love to do. They're all for separation of church and state, unless they can twist Christian scripture to support their agenda. Rep. Crenshaw, very simply actually, pointed out the fundamental flaw in Rev. Barber's argument.
"Deliberate misreading of Biblical principles by DNC to promote socialism," the freshman congressman tweeted.

The Rev. William The Buffet Slayer Barber?...
COMRADE Pastor.... gotta add the “Comrade” before his title.
Gee, all these years I was wrong... You really CAN squeeze 300 pounds of commie bullsh*t into a 299 pound bag!!!!
Such child like thinking....Jesus healed people is just like taking money out of my pocket give it to the government...
Free health care is the same as miracles of people being healed...?
The same as socialism?
His congregation should fire him
I wonder if he thinks Jesus is paying his health insurance premiums
People like this guy are very shallow thinkers, unable to grasp or deal with abstract concepts and ideas. They are laughably self-righteous, arrogant, and try to bully others into accepting their BS as wisdom.
Try a salad, rev.
Don’t you remember when Jesus told Peter and the Apostles to buy swords to take money from the rich??
Dan isn’t perfect, but he is fighting against BS..
Haha!! Sure I remember that one. It was on page 178 or 179 in the Bible...
Socialism is the preferred religion of the Left.
Gee, all these years I was wrong... You really CAN squeeze 300 pounds of commie bullsh*t into a 299 pound bag!!!!
He looks way over 3 bills in that pic. More like 400 lbs.
A-HA!!!! So you can squeeze 400 pounds of bullsh*t into a 399 sack then!!!!
Damn, Lodi... you’re rocking my world here.... :^)
Can we auto delete all threads about cuck Crenshaw?
On 22 Jan. 1908, in a Cheetham, Manchester speech entitled "SOCIALISM: 'ALL YOURS IS MINE!', with the grandson's introduction: "In the ranks of the Labour Party there were to be found many hard-line Socialist, to whose presence in the Liberal coalition Churchill took the strongest exception, while anxious not to alienate the working-class vote.",Socialism prattles about fairness and equality - but practitioners of it are actually promoting their own prospects while they, as Alexander Hamilton put it, "flatter their i.e., the people's prejudices to betray their interests."Churchill said: "The Socialist - the extreme and revolutionary party of Socialists - are very fond of telling us they are reviving in modern days the best principles of the Christian era. They consider they are the political embodiment of Christianity, though, to judge by the language which some of them use and the spirit of envy, hatred, and malice with which they go about their work, you would hardly imagine they had studied the teaching of the Founder of Christianity with the attention they profess to have given to the subject.
But there is one great difference between Socialists of the Christian era and those of which Mr Victor Grayson is the apostle. The Socialism of the Christian era was based on the idea that "all mine is yours', but the Socialism of Mr Grayson is based on the idea that 'all yours is mine’.
And the Bible also says that if a man will not work, he should not eat...wonder what the “rev” thinks about that part...
Lefties love their pastors when they agree with their lies. I’ve read nothing in the Bible that agrees with the ink this guy is saying.
Truly he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Interestingly, the race baiting Buffet Slayer recently had a role in sinking one of Trump’s judge nominees when Senator Tim Scott ostentatiously refused to support Thomas Farr. With Republicans like Tim Scott who needs Democrats like the Buffet Slayer?
