Dems Woo Christians
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | 23 Sep 2006 | John Semmens

A new Christian website has been set up to try and change the minds of the many American Christian voters who tend to see the Republicans as their natural party of choice. YourBrotherIsYourKeeper.com is not officially part of the Democrat party. However it claims to comprise religious and political leaders, writers, and regular Americans who are committed to the idea that the government ought to serve as a surrogate “big brother” to the poor, oppressed and marginalized.

“The right-wing Christians only offer duty, family and personal responsibility,” said Ellsworth Toohey, web master for the site. “We are appealing to those who hope to be on the receiving end of Christian charity.”

Toohey admitted that a web site might not be the most potent of devices for reaching his target audience. “The people we want to represent aren’t those most likely to have access to a computer or have the energy to exert even if they did,” said Toohey. “But all we need are names and addresses. We’ll do the rest of the work to turn these into votes for Democratic candidates.”

Toohey brandished a flyer that volunteers will distribute at public housing projects and illegal alien amnesty rallies. The first words on the flyer ask “Are you getting all the Christian charity to which you are entitled? If not, vote Democrat. We will make the rich pay their fair share.”

“The Bible says the weak shall inherit the Earth,” Toohey said. “We’re just trying to speed up the process by enlisting the government to do God’s work.”

Not possible since the anchors in the democrat funding machine
are notoriously secular.

Although Bill Hybles from Willow Creek church bragged
about his close relationship with Bill Clinton.
(rather disgraceful I thinks)

Of course the black churches always welcome radical
democrats. So much for seperation of church and state
which the dems profess.

Love your satire, especially the misquote on meek and weak. Please keep writing.

I had no idea Jesus was a Socialist. Learn something new everyday. Next we'll learn he was a supporter of Planned Parenthood.

It is disgusting that some think they DESERVE handouts. I believe in charity. Charity is that which is given freely. Not forced.
