Riverview Community Bank in Otsego, Minn., has been cited by the FDIC in connection with “unsafe and unsound banking practices.” Former Secretary of State and current Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, is an owner and director of the bank — a bank that founders say was inspired by the hand of God.

1. God of money, God of love . . .

A bank only Mac Hammond could love. And gullible religious nutballs . . .
"I'm a Christian so if you criticize me for anything, you are persecuting me for my religion"
Someone ought to check out who the voices in Chuck's head really belong to . . .

2. Is that the one with big paintings of Jesus shaking hands with businessmen?

Saw an article in the Strib a few years ago and was appalled.

"Taxpayingliberal over at MN Progressive Project has an important story that, as he notes, the mainstream media is doing its best to paper over. As some of you may know Republican Mary Kiffmeyer was part owner of a bank that catered specifically to fundamentalist Christians..."

"The photo, incidentally, is of a painting that hung in the bank. "

5. Yep, that's the painting I mentioned above

I'm still appalled.

And disgusted that Kiffmeyer's reference in the StarTrib was removed.

6. Michael Moore could have used that painting in his latest movie.

But it gives me headache.

He looks like some well-known actor whose name I can't recall.

Man, that is one vomit-inducing painting.

I'm probably not really qualified to response being neither a banker or jesus but...i do work for the banking industry...and knew going in Mary's bank was a christain sandbox to play in...unfortunately, 'we the public tax payers' get to clean up the mess.
