In the South we MASH Capitalism, Christianity, and the Constitution together.

Think about it. A powerful message.

But there is very little truth to it. If anyone cares I will dissect this bullshit for your FB pals.

Capitalism doesn't work, Christianity is a myth and the Constitution suffers as a result of both.

Though, I'd like to amend your first statement. Capitalism works very well for people like Mitt Romeny, but for the rest of us it sucks.

"Endorsed by God" for the Evangelicals. And since the capitalists and their toadies control religion for the most part, capitalism is the system that's been "endorsed by God". Of course there's a sticky wicket right there in the NT about taking care of your fellow man and all, but that can be ignored.

It's all part of a plan, overt or not, to turn capitalism into a de facto "state religion". As to the Constitution, it's like the Bible, it depends on interpretation.

If Jesus were alive today he would be sickened by what is being done in his name. He may not have been a Communist, but he was a communalist and he had no use for greed or worldly wealth and power.

Jesus would be appalled at the worship of wealth. Didn't he get SERIOUSLY pissed at the capitalists of the time? You know, the ones who made money off of money? Also called the money changers.
