To Republican Leadership: "Free Market Capitalism" or Christianity?

GOP Must Choose: Ayn Rand or Jesus

Ayn Rand argued that people had to choose between following her teachings or those of Christianity and other religious traditions. 

So what was the GOP response to this attack on Judeo-Christian and family values?

From the article:

"Rand said religion was 'evil,' called the message of John 3:16 'monstrous,' argued that the weak are beyond love and undeserving of it, that loving your neighbor was immoral and impossible and that she was out to undermine the idea that charity was a moral duty and virtue. "
Really.  Which is it?  "Free market capitalism" or Jesus' ideas on love and taking care of the "lesser among you"?

Please make it the latter and not the former.

And start now.

You won't, of course, but you should.

First they fought us on health care reform, now it's financial reform

Yeah, first the Republicans fought this Administration's wanting to give the American people some relief in the form of health care reform.

Natch.

They wanted to protect their wealthy buddies in the insurance and pharmaceutical companies, etc.

Now, they're at it again..

Now they want to fight this White House--again, so they can protect their wealthy banking friends--on getting any financial reform.

Forget that the banking and mortgage industries almost brought the nation--and world, in reality--to complete, total and utter financial and economic devastation within the last year or two.

No, no, they have to rush to protect the lobbyists, corporations and all the rich people in whose pockets they are so they can keep their money coming in.

Let's not give it to 'em, folks.

We need to re-regulate our banking industry the way it was after the Great Depression so we have our safety nets, for the good of everyone.

Especially if the bankers don't like it.

Ayn Rand be damned.
