96 - Right-Wing Charity: Sufficient Atonement For Their Sins?

A change of pace today. Not a lot of numerical stats and percentages, but some political and moral theory.

We'll delve into three interrelated subjects:

--the value of charity

--right-wing charity vs. the consequences of their public policies, and

--liberal vs. progressive prescriptions for a better world.

My friend Jeff from gopexposed.com left a comment a while back containing a couple of points. We'll use Jeff's comments as a springboard for today's discussion. In two instances, Jeff had a misimpression of what I said. Maybe I wasn't clear or emphatic enough. Others may have had similar misimpressions. So it'll be good for me to clear those items up now as well.

The bottom line is: whatever good conservatives do with charitable giving, is far more than offset by the public policies they support, which cause a level of increased human misery, suffering, pain and death far in excess of any charitable benefaction conservatives are capable of.


(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)

To "automatic" who proclaims that Jack Clark, "and with logical analysis and sound research, debunks the lies, distortions, and self-deceptions of the right wing."

Just one question. And the liberal left have none of these 'qualities'?

THE RIGHT WINGER IN HIGH POSITION OR WHOM IS RICH FROM HIS LIE-ING WAYS { LEAVENED GOSPEL OR AN INEPT SHEEP WHO HEARS AND BELIEVES THEIR PHONY CHEERLEADERS AND MAY GIVE A BIT OR A BUNCH} ALWAYS DOES IT AS A SHOW: AS IF TO MAKE-UP FOR THE CORPORATE WELFARE HE OR SHE HAS BEEN USING THROUGH CHICANERY ; THEN HE STEALS AGAIN BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE TAX CHARITY WRITE OFF. THE HIGH POSITION PERSON MUCH MORE SO; THAN THE GULLABLE BELIEVER. Try to watch dvd {Iraq for sale} try to remember the lady who gave all her living and the the person who gave of the abundance?

Great podcast - a must listen to
Jack Clark documents the right's wars on the poor, civil liberties, the right of workers to organize at work and obtain a decent working wage and work conditions, and against other countries who refuse to accept American domination. Jack provides all the sources so that you can see for yourself how the right is out to enrich itself at the expense of everyone else. Great job, Jack!

awesome show
Clark always backs up his statements against the right wing with fact and data, which gives him all the more credibility. As conglomerate media controlled by politics clouds the mainstream news media, Jack Clark, along with NPR and Democracy Now! have become my primary news source. Awesome podcast!

In-Depth, Meaty, Hardcore Knowledge
This podcast is not just entertainment, humor, chimp-bashing, or gee-whiz recap of the weeks events. Instead, it hits hard and in-depth on the world economic situation and how right-wing policies impact the poor and less advantaged all over the world. He examines Americas support of the World Bank, IMF,multinational corporations, etc., and connects the dots. This is a podcast for grown-ups. He gives good reasons why the right wing is NOT living up to its precious Bible, without putting down the Bible. As a Jesus-loving Christian and moderate Democrat, I respect this podcast for its subject matter. The grown-up manner of the speaker is just icing on the cake. He IS funny, but hes not trying to be, he just has a deadpan delivery but doesnt have to make jokes to make it interesting. The facts make it interesting and devastating.

A Breath of Fresh Air
Jack Clarks Blast the Right podcast is truly a breath of fresh air when it comes to political commentary. Jack is not like some commentators who simply climb on their soap box and state their own opinions as fact. Instead, Jack welcomes competent challenges to his way of thinking, and with logical analysis and sound research, debunks the lies, distortions, and self-deceptions of the right wing. I strongly recommend Blast the Right for people who seek the truth and care more about the long term health and well-being of the whole citizenry than the short term personal gain advocated by modern conservatives. Listen as Jack carefully shows how the high-sounding "God and country" rhetoric of the right wing is really just a smokescreen for policies that ultimately lead only to the increased misery, suffering, and death of the less fortunate for the particular benefit of the wealthy and the well-connected. And, if you find yourself in agreement, return to Podcast Alley to place your vote! Thanks!
