Once again, Rev. Barber is refocusing the conversation in the right direction. This administration is failing its people. It preys on their ignorance and profits from their loss.

Rev Barber is a wonderful voice of reason and reality.

were VERY pious and superstitious during the Black Death of 1348-1352. Im sure they prayed day and night. The result? Half the population dies.
