Show me where I was EVER "arguing that federal programs work better then private charity."
Show me my words.
YOU CAN'T because I NEVER have.
I don't even believe such a thing.
Try reading what I actually post instead of assigning me those positions you feel most comfortable arguing against.
I didn't say you have. I was pointing out that you were avoiding having to do this by refusing to make a distinction between individuals and government.

Good. Its not a defensible position, so its not surprising your avoiding having to take it, by refusing to distinguish between individuals and government in the context of providing charity.

Good advice. Sometimes I have messed up on what people were saying, and ended up taking back some of what I said. I don't think this is one of those times though. I think you misunderstood me this time.
