Sister Campbell: "We've got 47 million people that don't have access to health care."

BOR: "No they do, they walk into any emergency room in the country, they have access to health care FREE."

Sister Campbell: "Oh but then, please, please, then consider what that then does to those of us that have insurance, how it escalates OUR costs!"

“Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s
Render unto God what is God’s
But never make Ceasar into a God. (Thou shalt not commit idolatry)
Only a ‘Progressive’ would take a virtue (charity) and turn it into a ‘right’!”

We have a WINNER!

[stephenjohnbanker]

Hey Sister, the market failed because the gov’t caused the failure!

Get thee to a nunnery go!!

[WKUHilltopper]

So hilarious...

“Where in the Bible does Jesus say its societies “responsibility to take care of people?”

Everyone is missing the point and it has to start being stated!!! WE DO TAKE CARE OF OUR PEOPLE! Every person who works is working for the government until September of every year. We give “donations” with every pay check earned. It is time that the “UNINSURED” starts asking their government what they are doing with the money we give them. If they managed our money with respect, they wouldn’t have to ask for more.

This is exactly how Christian Socialists are born- injecting their personal political/societal views into scripture. UGH.

[RAO1125]

Thank you, I try.

I'm Catholic, and my understanding is that Jesus calls each of us individually, addresses each of us personally. And if I'm not mistaken, that's also the Protestant take on it.

It is for the sola scriptura ones, anyway.

It all goes back to what my High School Government teacher said, “Conservatives think liberals have bad ideas, Liberals think Conservative are bad people”.

Jesus wants us to give willingly and in secret. If there were free clinics that served the poor and supported by charity, then a Christian could make an anonomous donation and earn an eternal reward.

However, with Obamacare, that same person could have the same amount taken from his paycheck and used to support the uninsured/poor. He may still believe in the cause, but because he did not give voluntarily and in secret, he will not earn an eternal reward.

Conclusion: Obama is costing us our eternal reward.

This is what some people in liberal denominations fail to understand, namely, that the government is not governed by the church nor the gospel. The US government was NEVER intended to be a nanny state. The Founding Fathers purposely created a limited federal government. If individuals wish to create charities or a community chest, they are free to do so.

[a fool in paradise]

There is no charity in forced taxation.

Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Your own obligation to your fellow man is apart from any government program.

[a fool in paradise]

The leftist mantra is that Republicans are “mean” because they don’t share “enough”.

However, Democrats are evil because they are dead set in their socialist agenda yet they deny deny deny their goals and smear smear smear the opposition.

The days of true debate on the issues right & left are over. The Left is intellectually dishonest (they lie) and they won’t ever concede to a superior argument.

[a fool in paradise]

Obama is now citing Jesus in commanding us to pay taxes for socialized medicine.

Do non-Christians also have to pay this tax?

He’s clearly acting in an unconstitutional manner.

[BILL_C]

If individuals wish to create charities or a community chest, they are free to do so and they are free to spend all of their money supporting whoever they want, but they are NOT free to forceably take any of my money.

[ozzymandus]

Did Jesus expect the Roman Empire to provide free health care to all subjects of Rome, or just Roman citizens? (sarc)
