Here ya go:
“Al Sharpton had some choice words for Herman Cain – slamming Cain for preferring for private charities over government handouts when it comes to helping the needy! Oh, the audacity of Cain! Is it not ironic (and sad) that a member of the clergy would be upset at the notion that churches – not the government – should serve a preeminent role when it comes to helping the needy?
Sharpton was responding to Cain’s exhortation to “Get the federal government out of the way.” Cain added, “This will allow states cities, churches, charities and businesses to offer a helping hand rather than a handout.” Contrary to the beliefs of our Founding Fathers, Sharpton believes in a social gospel that tightly holds to the notion that government has assumed the role of the church in today’s post-modern world.
Why would Sharpton oppose private help by charities over government handouts?
Because “Reverend” Sharpton isn’t really interested in Christianity, the Great Commission or the Church’s duty to serve the poor! No, Sharpton is only interested in power… political power! And with that political power comes the fame and wealth Sharpton seeks!
Sharpton wants big government even though he knows the past four decades have clearly demonstrated that government has been absolutely unable to provide any improvement in terms of poverty. You have to ask yourself why? If Sharpton really cares about the poor and needy, why would he continue to advocate for a failed solution while seeking to torpedo solutions that may actually help… solutions his own faith supports?
Because with Sharpton, it’s not about divine faith – it’s about earthly power! Wake up America – private charities always do a better job than the government! Why do you think all the rich folks (including Buffett) pay the least possible in taxes to the government, while choosing to give large sums of their money to private charities! I would argue those rich folks care more about the poor and needy than frauds like Sharpton.
It is also interesting to note that studies have consistently shown that conservatives give far more to charities than liberals, while liberals pay no more in taxes than conservatives! Liberal hypocrites need to put their money where their mouth is… get out that checkbook and write a big one to Uncle Sam!”
thanks, I couldn’t get to the website :(
Here's what my belief is based on:
2 Cor 9:7
7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
