Every year, Jim Wallis speaks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. That is where the elite eat, meet, and retreat. Then they go back home and run the world.
Here, the richest and most powerful people on earth meet — about one-third of the 6,000 people who constitute what David Rothkopf has labeled the Superclass. (There are 2,500 in attendance, but several hundred are journalists and speakers who are not part of this class — merely its agents.)
Rev. Wallis has a two-fold calling in life: (1) persuading evangelical Protestants in the name of Jesus that the superclass has too much money, and the U.S. government ought to take most of it away from them; (2) persuading the superclass that if they give a lot of it away voluntarily before the state takes it away, God will approve of them.
Most evangelical Protestants have never heard of him, and the few who have think he is just another social gospel Leftie, which is exactly what he is. The Superclass love to listen to him once a year, because he makes them feel good about their inner lives. They know the world’s governments will not be able to get their money, since they control the governments, so they are content to give a little of their money away to their favorite charitable projects . . . in their wills. They are very much like the rich medieval landholders who gave land to the church or a local monastery on their deathbeds. They like to hear about how pleased a vaguely described, utterly creedless god will be with them on their deathbeds. Rev. Wallis consoles them. He makes them feel good about themselves. So, they invite him back every year.
Jim Wallis plays the same role to them that Harry Emerson Fosdick played for John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who built the gigantic Riverside Church for him, 1925 to 1930. Fosdick served as his pastor until he retired in 1946. Like Fosdick, Wallis preaches what the rich want to hear . . . once a year. He is harmless politically back home, and he is non-confrontational rhetorically in person.
In 2014, he spoke on this topic: “A Leap of Faith: Confessions from Davos.”

So, he's kind of what you are to libertarians?
Let's just allow the SAVAGES to take over!!! Let's face it you people are not going to do anything except join the winning side!!! The SAVAGES have already won, they use violence,racism, vulgarity, profanity discourteous behaviour that we are not allowed to use, because of your sharia laws!!! Swearing and profanity never killed anyone!!!
And Jesus warned us that there would be many false prophets spewing their false beliefs (I paraphrase).
Beware of false prophets. Give to God that which is God's….and give to Caesar that which is Caesar's.
And this crowd is nothing more than a bunch of elites wanting to create a world of elites for elites and the rest of us to be their serfs.
People like this guy are just evil.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when he meets Jesus Christ face to face .
