Anti-Capitalist, or Anti-Corrupt Practices

Critics of the Occupy Wall Street movement often charge that the movement is anti-capitalist. I think this charge is unfounded.

OWS started because of the frustration so many have at today's economic conditions, and the certain knowledge that our politicians serve special interests not the voters who put them into office.

I see the OWS movement as an attempt to REFORM capitalism and to REFORM congress, not to overthrow either institution.

It is very important our leaders understand this difference and respond appropriately. In 15717 an insignificant German monk objected to the corruption and error of his church. His name was Martin Luther, and he sparked a movement known today as the Reformation, and the movement ultimately caused the Roman Catholic church to lose its secular power and greatly reduced its influence on Christendom.

Rep. Charles Rangel Makes Some Sense

I am no fan of his, but his post at Huffington said a lot.

Today, I read that Robert Jeffress, a Baptist preacher says Mitt Romney will go to hell.
I beg to differ. Hell is reserved for people like Jeffress who have forgotten the weak, the poor, the meek.

He also calls the defeat of our President's agenda a "spiritual imperative"

I wish he would spend his time and use his bully pulpit to correct corporate looting, feed the poor, bring medical care to those who need it, teach congressmen ethics, fight corruption in congress and business etc. Since the Constitution of the United States plainly states " no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Article VI Paragraph 3 USC

He should be censured by his denomination, and his church should lose its tax free status, as should any church that wishes to engage in political activity.

Why should churches who would violate the Constitution enjoy its protection, and legally avoid taxation.
