I have a couple of questions for you.

"I'm actually a church-going, bible-believing, born-again evangelical Christian"

Tell me who is Jesus Christ and what denomination of church you belong to.

"my father has distinctly left wing views and, although he's never been a militant, he participated in leftwing anti-government demonstrations in the 60s in Mexico while attending med school, and actually spent about 6 months in jail as a political prisoner"

What was the charge against your father and what Mexican penitentiary did he serve in?

"I also realize that "handouts" tend to create perverse incentives that can perpetuate poverty. However, the poverty gap is still so steep in this country (as compared to that of other similarly developed countries) that I cannot understand why the concept of a safety net for the most vulnerable is controversial... - Healthcare policy."

Americans are the most generous people in the world. And we do have numerous safety nets for those less fortunate. We even understand the need. Some great American - I've forgotten who - once said we need a safety net but not a hammock.

Good intentions are taken advantage of by those who try to beat the system. Study the effects socialism has had in the countries you have mentioned above.

You will find a greater disparity between the haves and the havenots under socialism. The problem in that system is that the havenots have less opportunity to rise. Not so under capitalism - where people can one day reap the benefits of their hard work.

If you lived in Tennessee you would witness the adverse effect state health care has had on our state's economy.

I'm also a law abiding citizen and all for the rule of law and order.

Then you are no Bill/Hillary Clinton.
