Ayn Rand and Social Darwin Republicanism Versus The Message of Jesus Christ
Rufus O Jimerson
The purpose of this book is to describe how Repub-licans who claim to be defenders of Christianity have adopted the atheistic philosophy of Ayn Rand and evolutionary theory of Charles Darwin applied to society in contradiction to the true message of Jesus Christ. By adopting Social Darwinism, which contradicts their fact free "creationist" theory they commit another significant hypocrisy. These Republicans are willing to use any theory or construct no matter how contradictory to protect their donors politically and legally. The Tea Party movement that masks this Gospel of Wealth strategy is funded and controlled by the Koch brothers and other GOP mega-donors. Politicians and judges they sponsor are their pawns in a transformation from democracy to a greed-oriented oligarchy. In contrast, true Christianity is about fighting for social justice of the disadvantaged against oppression by the wealthy and advantaged. The Ryan budget and other legislation proposed by these Republicans are described. The description demonstrates that a majority of the cuts over the next ten years encompasses social programs for the neediest and most underprivileged Americans. Their plans, in contrast to the scriptures cited are un-Christian, regressive and favorable to the wealthiest donors at the expense of the least among the American people. Taxes and the tax rates would be lowered for the wealthiest Americans and increased on the middle class and poor. Details of shifting this burden to the least advantaged are given with rationale and critique. Organizations, politicians, judges, and talk show host that are tied to the oligarchic takeover of our democracy by the Koch brothers and GOP mega-donors are identified. Details of how these surrogates are well-paid for talking points and decisions favorable to these wealthy donors. The layouts of the takeover are detailed by specific action taken to topple the democracy of one person, one vote. These donors are highlighted in their quest to buy elections and transform this government to serve them first and foremost. The book also describes how minorities have been falsely scapegoated as the reason the quality of life and income has diminished for most Americans. Front organizations for the Koch brothers and mega-donors have bought state legislatures to pass "Stand Your Ground " laws, restrictions to voting and bans to affirmative action to penalize and deny these minorities further opportunity, freedom and rights reserved for Euro-Americans. A subtle Apartheid system is revealed. The least advantaged minorities are denied social, economic and racial justice contrary to the Social Gospel views exposed by the Messiah and Pope Francis. Also revealed is how Christianity was highjacked by the wealthy to falsely reinforce the self-reflective image and not interfere or support their racial hegemony and so-called "Manifest Destiny."
