Jesus As Reagan's Sidekick

You've got to love those hilarious folks who somehow manage to combine fanatical Christianity with Libertarianism. Of course, one must have no understanding whatsoever of both to believe that they can be upheld simultaneously. (If you are wondering what Jesus would think of free markets, then I'm wondering whether you know anything at all about Jesus.)

So here is a very inventive blog header whose hapless author is trying to resolve the painful contradiction between worshiping free markets and worshiping Jesus:

As we can see, this particular Reagan fan chose to put "Ronnie" first and Jesus second. I kind of feel sorry for Jesus because playing second fiddle to Reagan, of all people, is quite insulting.

P.S. In the very top post of this freaky blog, I found the following sentence that tells us all we'll ever need to know about such folks' scary brand of religiosity:

 I had a lot of sinful years without Christ but God is in the business of forgiving sins.

What I wonder is whether God is successful in business and whether he pays any taxes. I know that Jesus wants us to pay taxes, but does he pay any himself? This is what theologians need to be working on.

Reading Libertarian Blogs

I was told recently that I don't do justice to "true Libertarians" by conflating them with the Tea Partiers. So yesterday I decided to fill this void in my knowledge of Libertarianism and perused a number of Libertarian blogs and websites.

When I fell asleep last night, I had a dream where it turned out that my husband had been given to me by the government for temporary use. As a valuable commodity, he could only be kept by me for a certain period of time, after which I had to hand him over to another person. This, obviously, did not make me very happy. 

So I decided that I'd rather remain ignorant of true Libertarianism than expose myself to any more websites that give me nightmares about governmentally rationed and distributed husbands.
