Episode 248-Part 1: Are Republicans Really the Party of the Rich? Part 2: A Pastor Faces Charges for Helping the Homeless–Is That Fair? While it is believed that the Republican Party is the party of the Rich, and the Democrats are the party of the “poor, downtrodden, and disadvantaged, etc.” a new survey from Ballotpedia suggests otherwise. In Part 2, a Pastor in Bryan, Ohio faces criminal charges for leaving his church open 24/7 to help minister to homeless people in his community. Fines are up to $1,000 per day. First Liberty was able to get the charges dismissed, but the City has trumped up a whole new set of charges. But is it possible the pastor actually is in the wrong – based on any kind of technicality?
