"For of those to whom much is given, much is required." [View all]

Many Republicans claim to be Christians. This is from their own sacred book (Luke 12:48). One would think they'd heed what their god said.

Or perhaps, since "I've got mine; no one else matters" is in their DNA, they can't even hear it.

Just a random thought.
