Pelosi sure got up off her butt everytime the prez mentioned spending money on social crap. But letting the working man and woman keep their hard earned money and she couldnt get her butt out of the chair.
Not too bad.
The president's proposal to raise the rates of high-end medical insurance to subsidize the low end is flat out Socialism. Some Republican he is!
There are situations developing throughout the world that'll soon make all this irrelevant.
GWB's prescription drug entitlement will be the biggest and most costly program in the history of the Republic. It's classic entitlement, i.e. just because you reach a certain age (and are part of a huge and active voting block), you get free drugs. It is shameful that so many of us are on board with this and still defend the growth of government the past six years.
Both parties are just taking different paths to the same outhouse.
Just my 2 cents:
I think the Bible is very clear on a wide range of the most important issues and is still relevant, essential and helpful for us today, 2000-3000 years after it was written.
If I HAD to pick my personal best example of the words of the Bible not being able to be twisted or turned - even with the best efforts of imperfect men and governments to do so, I would give the example of the 10 Commandments VS Socialism/Communism.
It is why (I believe) socialists and communist HATE the Bible and Christians. The plain words of the 10 Commandants are in stark contrast to what the socialists want. Virtually all the moral teachings and wisdom of the Bible have their roots in the 10 Commandments. Though these principles are more than 3000 years old, they still define the basis for a well-functioning society. And that is why the socialists/communists must destroy the Bible in order to institute their own version of society.
I. "You shall have no other gods before me. ** NOT THE STATE, NOT MAN, NOT "GREAT" LEADERS.
II. "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand [generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments. ** NOT THE STATE. MAN IS NOT GOD. THE STATE IS NOT GOD
III. "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. ** LOOK AT HOW THE LEFT MOCKS CHRISTIANS - THEY MUST IN ORDER TO DESTROY IT>
IV. "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. ** YOU DO NOT WORK FOR THE STATE
V. "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. ** SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM IS BASED ON DESTROYING THE TRADITIONAL FAMILY - THE STATE IS YOUR FAMILY
VI. "You shall not murder. - COMMUNISM PROMOTES ABORTION. COMMINISM KILLS ANYONE WHO DOES NOT GIVE IN OR RESISTS. COMMUNISM IS BASED ON THE FEAR OF DEATH.
VII. "You shall not commit adultery.
VIII. "You shall not steal. SOCIALISM AND COMMUNISM IS ENTIRELY BASED ON STEALING. MARX SAID "THERE IS NO PRIVATE PROPERTY IN COMMUNISM"
IX. "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. COMMUNISM IS BASED ON LIES. THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH OR OF THE PRESS. YOU WILL SAY WHAT THE STATE WANTS YOU TO SAY - TRUTH OR LIES.
X. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." THE BASIS OF SOCIALISM IS THE COVETING OF WHAT OTHERS HAVE AND HAVING THE GOVERNMENT REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH. IT IS THE BASIS OF CLASS WARFARE.
If you follow the Bible you can NOT be a Socialist or Communist. And today, the Democrats in Americas are practically socialists. And no twisting of the words of the 10 Commandments can change that.
Is it my imagination, or has Bush, plus the Republicans in general, taken the last election defeat to mean they are not socialist enough? That they must pass the democrats on the left in order to control the political discourse and have election victories? Don't they realize that the dems didn't win the last election by gaining public support, the Republicans lost it by losing support?
