Evangelicals as Pharisees alone?

R P LCFB 222020 Evangelicals are the current Pharisees. They deny Jesus's teachings. Jesus was a liberal!
Me-... Except that Jesus was a pro-active liberal, and anybody who is not pro-active is judging. Ahem. Do I need to go there? To deal with the hypocrisy and worse of the Evangelicals, liberals have their own work to do. I went from a passive guy who liked Jimmy Carter and disliked Reagan to a letter writer in High School, and now writing about food co-ops and Michael Moore films as necessary icons to make an Occupy Wall St. movement worth its salt and capable of putting the US in friendly contention with Social Europe et al instead of being the "Great Satan" US. It goes deep since right wing economic ideology has been swallowed by many American liberals. A platform of socially and ecologically responsible business and economics hasn´t been articulated, despite the Green Party´s existence, 2004 candidate Dick Gephardt´s book An Even Better Place, and Obama´s brilliant, but short-winded, shot at a Green Jobs czar. Thus, Bernie´s articulating things like social business models and Michael Moore´s films showing the same highlight the bigger problem. Trump and the GOP are heads of a mythological hydra. Hillary type Dems are another. Ralph Nader, Elizabeth Gilbert´s Eat, Pray, Love, Barbara Kingsolver´s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, and Colin Beavan´s No Impact Man, food co-ops, credit unions, organic Fair Trade green stuff and more need to inspire more liberals more deeply to repudiate and transform the profiteering Big Biz corp model that has made anti-social the superficiial American Way.
