Andy Beshear's New Religion

Preacher Andy seems to think that being a good neighbor is now about how generous the government can be with your tax money.

Kentucky governor Andy Beshear's quixotic run for the Democratic nomination in 2028 is well underway, and while he is a long shot, he knows how to generate a lot of publicity and campaign contributions. Beshear's audacious intellectual dishonesty might also make a good foil for the GOP contestants and is worth studying in terms of where today's Democrats have their hearts and minds.

Beshear's latest doing is a campaign book he is rolling out -- pretty much expected for any presidential aspirant these days. Like Obama before him, the candidate has guaranteed a best-seller and a good chunk of money for himself, as his campaign and allies buy up copies of his tome.

Beshear's offering is called Go and Do Likewise, a reference to the story of the Good Samaritan.  Preacher Andy's theme is that Democrats need to reclaim Christianity for the party, as they are the exemplars of Gospel ethics. With his annoying, stammering accent and Bill Moyers-style and holier-than-thou attitude, the secular press may decide he must know something about the Bible.

But genuine Christians will see the problem right away. Jesus' Good Samaritan rescues and cares for a robbery victim by spending his own time and treasure. He was the victim's "neighbor" even if from a different religious sect.

Preacher Andy seems to think being a good neighbor is now about how generous the government can be with your tax money. Hence, any attempt to limit taxes and reform social spending is cruelty to the poor. Us ordinary folks have to pay till it hurts and do what liberal government elites, like........
