    Or... something...
    That's exactly correct. What an awful greedy man he is eh?

You christians here are hypocrites who don't really care about the poor, the sick, the mentally ill or in other words your country, so long as you've got yours.
      How much have you done for the sick, poor, or mentally ill?

            Probably more than you, but that's besides the point, an avoidance of the issue, which is what kind of government do you support. I support one that cares for the sick, poor, and mentally ill, you don't, which suggest to me that you don't give a hoot for the poor, sick or the mentally ill.

                Government coercion of its working citizens is what you support. Enforced charity is not charity. It's theft.

                  And those who want to force charity on others, but not be charitable themselves --- those are the kinds of heroes Jimmy applauds!

                    So you support a government who will do it FOR you so you don't have to, right? Instead of actually caring for the sick, poor, and mentally ill yourself. Or even using your own money to do so.

                          Ya know, Jim (actually, you probably don't) when you make an asinine claim like that, there really needs to be a basis for it.

                              Ask not what your God can do for you. Ask what you can do for your God.

                              Ours requires us to care for the poor and disadvantaged. Not hammer everybody into submssion.

                              In case you didn't notice, Christianity lost a lot of ground lately in the political forum. What you're seeing is the work of unbelievers. Because we didn't stand firm enough perhaps 30 or 40 years ago. At least we can prove that life without God is really bad. Now we got to make up lost ground. By the grace of God we may be getting a lot of help from the behavior of such like Pelosi and Sanders.
