"The encyclical also echoes Benedict's many speeches, saying that to reach a sound global economy every responsibility and commitment must be rooted in the values of Christian truth.
Without that, he says,'there is no social conscience and responsibility.' Neither, he says, are mere "good sentiments" enough. Human progress requires God, and today's choices concern 'nothing less than the destiny of man.'"

Sounds logical to me! We need more God and less government in our lives.

Keep YOUR God to YOURSELF, and out of Government.

Lightbulb Right Wing Correct: Secret Socialists in our Midst

It's no secret...

The rightwing neocons have been doing everything in their power over the past twenty years to establsih America as a socialist state for the wealthy and powerful. And they've succeeded.

Capitalism is for us little people. We're left to fight over the crumbs as we also bail out the billionaires' excesses.
