He lives in a multimillion dollar house in a place known as the Dominion, where all the movers and shakers in business and sports live in San Antonio. He is driven around in a Rolls Royce... all tax free. His entire family is given a piece of the pie, it is absolutely ridiculous. So next time that toll free 800 number comes up, realize it and the savior that one buys, ends up in wealthy pockets.

So heck yes the religious right needs to be scrutinized.

BTW he was a huge contributor for Bush and advised on certain issues which is totally scary.

Pgardn,
