'If you want to have a moral debate, bring it on, baby'
A speaker at the Democratic National Committee summer meeting Friday said if free health care is labeled "socialism" by Republicans, then they should "acknowledge that the Bible must then promote socialism."
"When we embrace moral language, we must ask does our policy care for the least of these? Does it lift up those who are most marginalized and dejected in our society? Does it establish justice? That is the moral question," said Rev. William Barber, who has spoken at several DNC meetings. "If someone calls it socialism, then we must compel them to acknowledge that the Bible must then promote socialism, because Jesus offered free health care to everyone, and he never charged a leper a co-pay."
DNC chair Tom Perez and others in audience gave a standing ovation before Barber took a shot at Republicans, saying, "If you want to have a moral debate, bring it on, baby."
"The Bible says a nation will be judged by how it treats the poor and the sick and women and the immigrants," Barber said. "The Bible says that God makes it rain on the just and unjust alike. If you want to call caring for folks socialism, then the Constitution is a socialist document because it calls us to promote the general welfare and to establish justice."
The Constitution protects individual freedom and the Bible show the way to spiritual and personal freedom through the Gospsle of the Grace of Christ.
Socialism is government control of people’s lives - the EXACT OPPOSITE of freedom protected by the Constitution and promoted by the New Covenant in the Bible.
The Delusional Lying left continue to do what they do best: LIE!

Israel wasn’t a socialist state.
It was a theocracy.
The Bible endorses workfare, not welfare.
So was “An eye for an eye...” And the libs are trying to relieve us of our opportunity to protect ourselves with gun confiscation. Not real consistent are they?

Rev Wm Barber - another “reverend”, this one black, who doesn’t know his Constitution or his Bible.
Clearly they are not marxist socialists and/or have no idea what socialism is.
Where is abortion in the bible?
Where is countries can’t enforce their borders in the bible?
Where is it that the death penalty isn’t allowed in the bible?
Who is the head of the family the wife needs to submit to, in the bible?
Where is no fault divorce in the bible?
Where is screwing everything that walks, in the bible?
Isn’t it great how these atheists who curse Christians 24/7 now invoke the Constitution (based on Christian precepts) and Bible to justify destroying America?
Sadly, this stuff plays pretty well in the low IQ parts of the population. I’m guessing that the good reverend had nothing to say about the Bible’s teaching on homo stuff or adultery.
What does the good reverend think of the fact that Democrats booed God at their convention?
Socialism sucks. What’s the point of putting lipstick on that pig?
Charlatans are known by their referrals to biblical authority justifying their actions.
Raleigh’s resident communist and ‘community organizer.
Organized Moral Monday, giving the welfare folks something to do once a week.
The good reverend is not aware enough to know, that he is simply a useful idiot to these Democrats.
The Bible addresses individuals not nations. At one time all charity was from individuals NOT government. And while we’re on the subject of the bible that bookis full of moral values that the Demon party doesn’t want to discuss. So, yeah, bring on the moral debate you damned sodomites and baby killers. Surreal, man...
Ever seen the size of that guy?
A local radio show host refers to him as ‘The Buffet Slayer’.
I wonder if they would have taken 60% of the flock of Father Abraham, as well as tax Job. God did give property rights, to first Tribes, then Clans..or families. Wealth and it;s accumulation was meant to stay in a family, not to be stolen by a King. or Kingdom.
Let Him who can work, Eat...
