Acton Institute is announcing their new documentary:  “Call of the Entrepreneur”.

From what I can tell, it’s a stirring story of three men who, despite not being members of the holy Caucasian race (like the guy in the promotional billboard), escape from Communist China and find Jesus – I mean Free Market Capitalism.

They put their God –given talents to work pursuing Jesus.   Mom, apple pie and Chevrolet.  Freedom from accountability Free Market Capitalism.

They pursue their unfettered dreams in the land of milk and honey and become propaganda tools to discredit the idea of a civil society.    Are used to cynically perpetuate the myth that individual  accountability is an attack on freedom.   Symbolize the sense that somehow, capitalist Christians are under attack despite the fact that they run the country.  Fulfill their dreams and the dreams of others through the benevolent intercession of the magic free-market fairies and Jesus (who is, obviously, the omni-present and benevolent “invisible hand” of the market).

The point seems to be to stress the importance of continuing the push to make America a completely Christian theocracy.  anarchistic economy.

 

[UPDATE:  Just as a side-note, I think it'skind of hilarious that Howard Ahmanson quotes the bit about Judas embezzeling from the disciples' money-box when writing for an organization that insists that Jesus is the best way (only moral way) to manage our economy.]

Because it wouoldn't be a glowingly pro-American story if he made his entrepenuerial millions in yuans. Yuans are not Amreican, you know. Jesus would have wiped his ass on yuan notes. Then he would have blown them up with lightning bolts from his finger-tips and bitch-slapped any disciple that mentioned the Yuan again.

Also, he would have invaded Iraq with a completely private security force.

Jesus knew how to get it done.
