Yeah, we have as much poverty. We also have tens of millions of poorly educated illegal immigrants who came here and are bringing wages down.

And, yeah, I believe in a strong military, public schools, libraries, publicly funded police departments, fire departments, etc.

Send one of your kids to Somalia in the middle of nowhere, and when he pulls himself up by his bootsraps you can tell me how anyone can do it without help. No, you didn't do it without help. You did it by living in a country that affords you a lifestyle unlike many other countries. You think you could have "pulled yourself up by your bootstraps in any number of third world countries - regardless of their political bent? No, you wouldn't have. Oh, maybe you'd have a couple of cows compared to your neighbor who only has a goat, but you wouldn't have the lifestyle you have here.

A progressive tax rate makes perfect sense to my Christian mind. You don't ask people who are making twenty thousand dollars to pay the same amount as those making two hundred thousand dollars. I don't see anything godly about making life harder for people who are barely getting by, anyway. And, by the way, I believe that he who doesn't work, shouldn't eat, with the exception of severely disabled people. Yeah, I do believe in safety nets when family isn't there for the least of society's poor. Peace.

He seems easily able to detach from, demonize and dehumanize any opponents of his thinking, making it easy to treat them with contempt or worse.

So can I. And I am sure that I am not alone.

Many wanted Obama instead of Hillary because they thought he couldn’t win.

I plead guilty but I still don’t believe he could win without fraud.

No apology necessary. I understand completely. I just wonder how these people will rationalize it when Obama’s goons come for THEM : /

Take care,

I must be living in some surreal parallel universe. Isn’t this S.O.B. going to be B. Hussein Obama’s Chief Of Staff?
Can anyone else ponder the PENALTY when I refuse to send my kid to this? This is really out there idea, and they pocket it in “American Values” when it’s really about exerting CONTROL over a segment of the population. This makes me ill, (it’s only Wednesday) and B. Hussein Obama is still 69 days away from being Sworn In. And to think I thought Hillary was my biggest worry the last 8 years. We haven’t seen ANYTHING yet.

So, besides the Storm Troopers they are establishing, I wonder when America’s Reichstag Fire will happen and allow President-Elect Hussein to co-opt the government and rule by emergency decree?

Heil Hussein!

Anything west of Iowa has water problems.

I take it you have never been to Oregon? Here is a hint: our two state school mascots are The Ducks and The Beavers! The volume of the Columbia River (which seperates Washington State from Oregon) is larger than all other rivers in the US, except the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence (which drains the Great Lakes!) With a much smaller basin. Why? It rains all the dam time here. There are rivers EVERYWHERE, even the dry part of the state has rivers.

Well, we were speaking of remote places to survive the coming collapse and I was asked about MT and WY and responded with places in the upper Midwest. On the Great Plains, to the West of Iowa, there is a huge area with water shortages.

There was NO mention of the Left Coast and none of OR, because, frankly, we all know that it is full of liberals who have managed to make land use quite problematic in the rainy areas, west of the mountains. East of the mountains, IIRC, there are water issues.

But if you prefer OR as a place to live out times of civil unrest and shortages and liberal domination, why not tell us why?

Texas shutterbug, Hi, You asked;

“Then you believe that a draft during wartime is manstealing as well?”

I did not post my beliefs or opinions. I posted part of an essay stating what God’s Word says about the draft and/or national service. In answer to your question, yes it is forbidden by Scripture at ALL times because it is the removal of innocent persons against their will, ...whether it is during wartime or during a time of planting trees to save the environment.

If your neighbor does not have the right to walk into your house and steal your belongings from your home because he doesn’t have any furniture, and needs some furniture for his own home, then he also does not have the right to walk into your home and walk out with your children because he has some other idea.

Please take some time and read the essay, and consider what it says, and thank you for your reply to my post. Here is a link to the essay;

Texas Shutterbug,

Hi again, I missed the second question you asked:

“Are you going so far as to say that all taxation is stealing?”

Scripture says to render unto Ceasar what is Ceasar’s, so I don’t see where a person could say “all taxation is stealing” given that verse.

As far as what is the proper amount of taxation, I have no idea, so I can’t answer that.

Thank you again for your reply.

No, he will ship out for basic training, and then an additional time for medic training.

CHORUS:

Its former glory

We looked around and then we found
The man for you and me
LEAD TENOR STORMTROOPER:
And now it’s...
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Deutschland is happy and gay!
We’re marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the master race!
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Rhineland’s a fine land once more!

I was born in Dusseldorf und that is why they call me Rolf.
STORMTROOPER “MEL”:
Don’t be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazi party!

The Fuhrer is causing a furor
They can’t say “no” to his demands
They’re freaking out in foreign lands
He’s got the whole world in his hands
The Fuhrer is causing a furor!
HITLER:
I was just a paper hanger
No one more obscurer
Got a phone call from the Reichstag
Told me I was Fuhrer
Germany was blue
What, oh, what to do?
Hitched up my pants
And conquered France
Now Deutschland’s smiling through!
But it wasn’t always so easy...
It was 1932. Hindenburg was working the Big Room and I...
I was playing the lounge. And then I got my big break.
Somebody burned down the Reichstag. And, would you believe it?
They made me Chancellor. Chancellor!
It ain’t no myst’ry
If it’s politics or hist’ry
The thing you gotta know is
Ev’rything is show biz
Heil myself
Watch my show
I’m the German Ethel Merman
Dontcha know
We are crossing borders
The new world order is here
Make a great big smile
Ev’ryone sieg heil to me
Wonderful me!
And now it’s...
CHORUS:
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Goose-step’s the new step today

HITLER:
Springtime!
Goose-steps!
CHORUS MEN:
Bombs falling from the skies again
CHORUS:
Deutschland is on the rise again

Springtime for Hitler and Germany
U-boats are sailing once more
Springtime for Hitler and Germany
HITLER:

CHORUS:
Soon we’ll be going...
HITLER:
We’ve got to be going...
CHORUS:
You know we’ll be going....
HITLER:
You bet we’ll be going...
HITLER & CHORUS:
You know we’ll be going to war!!
