39. Bernie's aims or intent aside

I wanna know just WHEN some debate moderator is gonna read this passage:

" Blessed are you, for you cared for me, for I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick, and you cared for me; I was hungry, and you fed me; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was in prison, and you came to visit me; I was homeless, and you gave me shelter.” And the disciples said, “Jesus, when did we do any of those things for you?” And he said, “If you have done it for ‘the least of these,’ you have done it for me.”

.... and then ask each of the GOP hopefuls to give THEIR interpretation of it - point by point. I'll bet even ol' Huckadolt would be flummoxed to answer it as plainly as I (an atheist) could. Talk about your wheat and chaff seperatin' moment! There'd be a bunch of squirming butts in the audience as well.

A disciple of Bernie

"The Road to Wellville"? beac Sep 2015 #65

Yes. I took one look at the cast and assumed I would love it. merrily Sep 2015 #73

I remember being disappointed by that film as well. beac Sep 2015 #74

That is a DUzy if ever one there was. hifiguy Sep 2015 #46

I disagree. Bernie didn't go there to "teach them about their own values". delrem Sep 2015 #19

You don't think people can learn by hearing a different view of things? zeemike Sep 2015 #22

Rubbish! He was making the point that we have moved a long way away Joe Chi Minh Sep 2015 #58

Bernie did NOT go there to confront them on their supposed hypocricy delrem Sep 2015 #67

Of course, he didn't! On the contrary, he was evidently very pleased to acknowledge the Joe Chi Minh Sep 2015 #78

Aw thanks but I think everyone's threads combined + yours kick it well over 400! Catherina Sep 2015 #41

possible reason SCantiGOP Sep 2015 #24

I think it was very important. Senator Sanders did what few politicians dare to do rhett o rick Sep 2015 #49

Just because these kids are locked into unholy rules while at the University passiveporcupine Sep 2015 #63

It was very important because it exposed the consistent attempt to divide sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #75
