Zach Wamp was a christian, once upon a time

Years back, Zach was thought religious enough to be a member of the C Street cult. It looks like his stay there did not allow time to read up to the New Testament as his latest efforts in his run for governor of Tennessee resemble the fist of an angry god.
When the subject of extending unemployment benefits arose, Wamp complained that giving people unemployment insurance was “creating a culture of dependence which we do not need.” He then said that he wants “people out there scraping and clawing and looking for work and not just sitting back waiting”:

Wamp [...] said small business, the NFIB and he as governor “must resist… any more mandates to small business to help the unemployed — that we have continued to extend on a federal level, I think, unemployment compensation so long that there’s disincentives for people to actually re-enter the workforce or go out and look for a job.

“And this is creating a culture of dependence which we do not need. We want people out there scraping and clawing and looking for work and not just sitting back waiting. And so we’ve got to not allow any more mandates.”
Zach Almighty, facing a congressional pension and being important enough to qualify for wingnut welfare, sees no reason why he should help his fellow man in any way when they can't contribute to his campaign. In fairness to the Wampster, he is merely mouthing the standard Republican orthodoxy. As these the wealthiest of my brethren do unto me, so shall I do unto them when elected. The rest can go to hell for all I care.

Do you think, maybe, the Book of Matthew was excised from the C Street bible?
