"What does a man's
theology have to do with the U.S. economy? A lot, if you're Russell Vought. The
respected economist, President Trump's pick for deputy director at the Office
of Management and Budget, thought he'd have to answer some tough questions at
his Senate hearing last week. But like most of us, he thought they'd be about
finances -- not faith.
Senator
Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) flipped that script, launching into an aggressive and
bizarre attack on Vought's Christianity (which Sanders called 'hateful,'
'indefensible,' and 'insult[ing]'). Shouting until he was red in the face (see
the video below),
he accused the president's nominee of being an Islamaphobe for believing what
the Bible says about salvation. In a tantrum that made the James Comey hearing
seem tame, Sanders managed to expose one thing: which one of them is truly
intolerant. To Sanders's crazy, Vought was the picture of poise, calmly
explaining that he believes every person is made in the image of God, but that
Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation and path
to heaven.
It was an
eye-opening display for most people, who may not have realized the level of
contempt many liberals hold toward the majority religion in America. Just
think: this is a senator who almost won the Democratic Party's nomination for
president -- a man who thinks there's no room in the public square for people
who believe the Bible! I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that the same party
who wanted God out of their platform also wants Him out of public service. As
far as the Left is concerned, Christians in government have four options: they
can hide their faith, deny it, recant it, or work elsewhere. Ironically, that
makes most liberals guilty of the same prejudice they're trying to pin on men
and women of faith!"
