It is why they try to shift the argument to advancing socialism. But there is no “charity” in forced taxation to pay the dole out to the underclass.

And “universal healthcare” covers those who have money (they choose to spend on other things) as well as those without money.

They also have to attack the religious texts to suggest that same sex marriage IS morally acceptable.

They start with the agenda items and THEN seek to find justification for them instead of modelling policy on biblical teachings.

Ultimately if we “are” to fund our brothers’ health care because the bible instructs us to do so, then by the separation of Church and State, it CANNOT be government policy to do so. Not everyone follows that religion.

......”It is why they try to shift the argument to advancing socialism. But there is no “charity” in forced taxation to pay the dole out to the underclass......”

I have felt for many years that the Democrats’ biggest sin is the denigration of true charity by seeking to impose big government programs to “help the poor”. Nothing kills true charity faster than the government confiscating all the wealth in order to redistribute it according to their wishes. This sort of philosophy kills the human spirit.

Socialists think that charity begins and ends at the voting booth.

Vote for me, and you won't have to give at the office. In fact you can criticize Republicans who tithe as being cheap.
