Arkansas Republicans See Christ In Kickbacks

What a damn mess in Arkansas. It seems that some Republican members of the State House and the State Senate conspired to dump a ton of money on rightwing Christian colleges in the state. For about $600,000 of taxpayer money to tiny Ecclesia College in Springdale, Arkansas, the Republican politicians got about $38,000 each in kickbacks.

On the Board of Ecclesia college is David Barton, key advisor to Donald Trump, and major contributor to Louie Gohmert. There is even a David Barton School of Political Science at the college. Bribery 101 is a required course.

The Republican House Member, Micah Neal, pled guilty today and faces 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

3. This is typical of those "conservative Christians"

In fact, I don't know of a so-called Christian conservative who's not involved in some sort of shady money-making scheme in the name of Christ. Blasphemy, I tell ya!

4. The guy should go to jail. He violated the unwritten $10 for every dollar in kickbacks/bribery rule.

He should have only doled out $380,000... not $600,000.


This sets a high bar for other political crooks to follow. Sometimes 15 x is not doable, but 10x is almost always.
