SARAH:
"Silly liberals, don't you know by now that your philosophies are not in line with God's plan? All those trivial things you find so important like community organizing, helping the poor and disadvantaged, sharing the wealth, personal choice, promoting peace, respect for all living things. These ideals smack of bleeding heart, hippie, tree hugger liberal diatribe that shows weakness. Don't you understand that only the strong survive and we have to demonstrate our strength to gain respect? Don't you realize that the only way the "trickle down" economy works is when those at the top create new market energy from war and special interest? Well God is on the right side, don't you know, you all keep turning left and missing the boat. Come on now, really, what is all this turn the other cheek, make love not war, peace and harmony, who comes up with this crazy stuff anyway?"
INVISIBLE VOICE:
"SARAH!"
SARAH:
"What? Who is that?"
INVISIBLE VOICE:
"That's not important. You asked who came up with that crazy stuff. I just wanted to let you it was I."
SARAH:
"But who are you?"
INVISIBLE VOICE:
"Let's just say I Am someone you obviously don't know yet. I'd like you to hear a few familiar things that I've said in the past and really think about them."
SARAH:
"Um, okay, but I'm really busy with this V.P. thing and I've been told not to talk with anyone without permission."
INVISIBLE VOICE:
"I'm sure that I Am the one voice you should be listening to right now, you do not need to speak at all." Just hear my words:"
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. [Matthew 5:9]
Resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. [Matthew 5:39]
I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite-fully use you, and persecute you. [Matthew 5:44]
Do not judge, lest you too be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. [Matthew 7:1 & 2.]
In the temple courts [Jesus] found men selling cattle, sheep and doves and other sitting at tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. [John 2:14 & 15.]
Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. [Luke 12.15.]
Truly, I say unto you, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. [Matthew 19:23]
You cannot serve both God and Money. [Matthew 6:24.]
Love your neighbor as yourself. [Matthew 22:39]
So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you. [Matthew 7:12.]
If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. [Matthew 19:21]
But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just. [Luke 14:13 &14.]
And when thou pray, thou shall not be as the hypocrites are; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou pray, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret. [Matthew 6:6 & 7]
INVISIBLE VOICE (CONTINUES):
"Well Sarah, do you now understand where the crazy liberal ideas came from?"
SARAH:
"Yeah, gee it's a shame that those liberals misinterpret the Bible that way isn't it? I'm sure glad I have a grasp on what being a Christian really means. I need to clean up this country and then get the world to embrace our way of doing things. Being a leader is an awesome responsibility and if people don't fall in line with the right way sometimes a leader like me must get a little tough. You know like that tough love stuff. Hey, it works for my children so it must work for regular people too. Talk to you later, whoever you are, gotta' get back to my campaign. Now where did I put that fur coat?"
