Liberal Pastor Accuses Conservative Christians of “Policy Pedophilia”

Do you oppose the liberal agenda on health care, the living wage, voter ID laws, gay rights, and gun control? If so, you are guilty of supporting “non-Christian” policies.

That was the view expressed by William Barber on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show today. But Barber, a liberal pastor from North Carolina, took things an ugly step further. Suggesting that they had failed to address poverty, including child poverty, Barber accused conservative Christians of “policy pedophilia.”

“Liberal” is the old late 20th century euphemism for Progressives (which dates from the beginning of the 20th century). Progressives are Humanists. He’s a Progressive Leader, but not a pastor.

I hear you: historically, as Hayek has pointed out, liberals were people who favored free markets.

But nowadays, I actually think of “progressive” as a euphemism for “liberal” as most people understand the term today.

Liberals used to be about equality of opportunity.

Now they are about equality of outcome.

This turd is no more a “Bishop” than a bowl of gold fish.

It’s infuriating that people get that so 100% wrong. “Liberal” has very nice connotations and Progs ruined it. If people would learn what Marxists mean by progressive, they could understand. It’s not a big secret. They answer it in their own words. But that takes some work.

Charity is a must, according to God. Not an option.
If we are only stewards, yet we are stewards - given authority to choose the particular forms and conditions of beneficence from what we have charge of.
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one: for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries BY A GOVERNMENT, which we might expect in a country WITHOUT GOVERNMENT, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer. Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence; the palaces of kings are built upon the ruins of the bowers of paradise. For were the impulses of conscience clear, uniform and irresistibly obeyed, man would need no other lawgiver; but that not being the case, he finds it necessary to surrender up a part of his property to furnish means for the protection of the rest; and this he is induced to do by the same prudence which in every other case advises him, out of two evils to choose the least. Wherefore, security being the true design and end of government, it unanswerably follows that whatever form thereof appears most likely to ensure it to us, with the least expense and greatest benefit, is preferable to all others. - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Not everything by Paine is edifying, but IMHO that is. Very.

Yeah, redefine the word so it looses the impact it has on the public and in Hollywood start talking about what people did fifty years ago instead of what they've done to children recently.

Just the usual tactics the scumbags have used for decades to try and put a lot of smoke and mirrors around the crimes their own crowd is guilty of.
