OBAMA: IT'S NOT YOUR MONEY TO GIVE
THE FREEDOM POST ^ | August 20, 2009 | The Capitalist

Posted on 08/20/2009 10:10:48 PM PDT by TheFreedomPoster

It's honorable and commendable to give freely out of one's own resources to charity, and Americans are the most generous people on the face of the planet. Americans contribute six or seven times more than some of our European counterparts. Charity is reaching into one's own pockets to help someone in need. Is it charity to reach into someone else's pocket to help someone in need? Is the federal government your brother's keeper? Is it charity if the giving is taken from someone else's pocket under the ultimate threat of force?

No, it’s not charity - It’s the redistribution of wealth philosophy of socialism - it’s called theft.

Obama keeps on talking about “Being his brother’s keeper” his brother lives in a damn hut. Someone should remind Barry that charity begins at home

People who continually make bad choices are poor. Obama believes giving them money will transform them to make good choices. Obama is an idiot.

Give unto Cesar what is Cesar’s and give unto God what is God’s.

I thought about that, yet I am a firm believer in self-reliance and responsibility. A usurper can fool the un-educated NEA trained masses. Of course Obama is now losing the old Democrat middle. Daddy’s Democrat is gone. They are starting to realize this.

Perhaps then, it’s not too late to save the Republic after all.

Obama is an idiot.

I disagree, he is another slick lying thief, loved by the Democrap idiots. Idolized for his skill in lying so smoothly.

Context is important as to why I said that.

Obama believes giving them money will transform them to make good choices. Obama is an idiot.

Of course he isn't an idiot given the fact he passed the hardest interview in the world. He is an idiot for believing throwing money at people who will spend it on lottery tickets will get them somewhere.

Bama quoting Cain as his religious message pretty much sums up what that ‘pill’ for Americans old grandmas means. Charitable bunch dressing themselves up like sheep.

And 0’s a psychopath - just like Clinton - but outdoing even that stinker.
Look at the evil cruds the Democraps have elevated to leadership positions - what is wrong with this party’s members? Perhaps mentally ill at best... Obviously many are politically naive, as man-in-the-street interviews demonstrate. Many probably are released convicts or co-conspirators voting for their largess. Many want to secure respectability for their immoral lives. Perhaps Soros knows best. He certainly knows how to plunder nations, and the US is plum.

I do not think that 0 believes throwing money at people will do anything except likely secure their vote. He is a corrupt lying cheat, but not an idiot even in that sense. It will secure the vote of the slimes who will sell out the American dream for a few bucks in their pocket.

The ones playing lotto are already there. The ones working that voted for his rhetoric are bailing. The Reps are the first to go. They know it.

I need to see it to believe it. I've been quite disappointed by overestimating the electorate in the past.
