Riddle me this . . .

The Religious Right often waxes poetically about how we need to return our nation to the original plan of the founding fathers, that being a "Christian" nation. (Which, by the way, I am not convinced was their intent.) However, when it comes to most government policies or programs that line up with the actions of Christ himself i.e. taking care of the poor, the outcast, the less fortunate etc. by way of basic needs such as food, housing, and health needs, they cry government interference. I don't get that.
