    I mean his actions are hardly in the spirit of Christ. That's for damned sure.
    The bible is pretty clear as to how the followers of the faith are to treat the stranger, the traveler, the dispossessed and homeless, the poor and the downtrodden. But as has been oft attributed to Ghandi; "I like your Jesus, I do not like your christians. Your christians are so unlike your Jesus."

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. Increases in the productivity of the American worker were divorced from the compensation of American workers in the very early 1970s. “Both” of your sides have had ample time to do something about that. But they don’t serve you or the working class. Everything you whine and caterwaul on about is utterly bipartisan.

    Sounds a bit like America's right today. Christians have no moral values as their support of Trump proves once again.

    "God gave the savior to the German people. We have faith, deep and unshakable faith, that he [Hitler] was sent to us by God to save Germany." Hermann Goring

    "Today Christians... stand at the head of Germany... We want to fill our culture again with the Christian Spirit." Adolf Hitler

    "I'll put an end to the idea that a woman's body belongs to her... Nazi ideals demand that the practice of abortion shall be exterminated with a strong hand." Adolf Hitler

    "Let me control the textbooks, and I will control the state." Adolf Hitler

    "We stand for the maintenance of private property... We shall protect free enterprise as the most expedient, or rather the sole possible economic order." Adolf Hitler

    "Even today I am not ashamed to say that, overpowered by stormy enthusiasm, I fell down on my knees and thanked Heaven from an overflowing heart for granting me the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Vol. 1 Chapter 5

    "Liberalism is a disease of the mind that weakens and corrupts human beings." Adolf Hitler, 1939

    "Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction." Adolf Hitler
    Wanna make America great, buy American owned, made in the USA, we do. AF Veteran, INFJ-A, I am not PC.

    "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it." Voltaire

    Besides, I'm hardly wealthy, at least by US Standards. Upper middle class to be sure and I got there the old fashioned way. I worked my ass off for 6 years to earn a graduate level education and then worked my ass off to learn my profession and make an above average income. I didn't make it by whining about having to compete with illegal immigrants for minimum wage jobs as meat processors, house maids, short order cooks and gardeners.
    That's how I earned the money to buy my first car in High School, it was one of the nicest ones in the parking lot (the cheerleaders and other girls loved it)
    I, too, worked my ass off and put in many OT hours to learn my profession, and I'll be retiring before I turn 58.

    What a douch bag piece of propaganda. Professing to be a Christian and engaging in Christian Doctrine are different animals. Hell......BARRACH H. Obama (a self chosen Muslim name change, his real documented name is Barry Soetoro) professed to be a Christian but according to his own recorded WORDS was ignorant about the actual content of the Holy Scriptures, often quoting cherry picked scripture from the OLD LAW in order to chastise Christianity. Hitler was a self confessed "socialist" who battled capitalism, by your logic YOU ARE THEREFORE A NAZI. The leftist revised historical propaganda is the false premise that Hitler was not a socialist but was a conservative right winger. The facts of history and the very name chosen demonstrates the BIG LIE. NAZI: The National "SOCIALIST" Workers Party of Germany. And perhaps Hitler's own historical words documented by history actual might be a better source to calibrate truth compared to your biased and bigoted WORDS OF HATE against Christian Virtue. "We are socialists (NAZI PARTY)...enemies of Capitalism...…" Adolf Hitler May 1, 1927. What? Hitler saw the light and became a Conservative Christian overnight?


    A real comparison: Hitler supported and sought State Control of THE BANKS, PUBLIC EDUCATION, THE MEDIA, PERSONAL PROPERTY, the banning of GUNS, etc. Now what party today also seeks and campaigns on this very same SOCIALIST PLATFORM professing to be against the supposed 1% who has corrupted our society? Hitler's 1% was the Jews....today your 1% is the successful Capitalists who pay the majority of the taxes your party lives and thrives on.


    Another historical documented fact: Hitler was a paganist who served and worshiped the "occult". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_and_the_Occult


    The reality of what the Holy Scriptures (the source that calibrates true Christian Doctrine) declares what about occultism? Can one worship and serve 2 masters? You are dealing in nothing but the hope of the dumb downed education system of this nation and your propaganda based historical revision. Where was the fake outrage when BHO done the same thing on the border in 2011 when he increased the use of the ATEP act? Was he not warned that increasing such action would end with families being separated from their children? I did not notice one outcry from the left....hell you could a mouse fart.

    Yup...I worked those jobs when I was young too...and learned a lot doing so. The difference between us and Big Dog is we didn't aspire to compete for those jobs!

    Actually, the young these days don't want to do those jobs like we did, they'd rather play on their cell phones.

    Lots of hard right religious Christians in America claim that Hitler was a liberal.

    Ralph, Hitler was conservative just like Fascists were conservative. Mussolini was heavily supported by Italian conservatives.

    Barack was a Jewish General in the time of Deborah .. (FYI in the Bible)

    Obama was NEVER adopted by his step father.. nor did he become an Indonesian citizen. Citizenship laws of Indonesia didn't permit that.

    And NO American child can renounce his US citizenship nor can his parents do it for him.

    Your guess is as good as mine; possibly much better.

    However, I take your point good sir. My sense may be quite uncommon. And I am flattered that you so readily recognize my superiority.

    The king's court is populated with many wise men.
    But the wisest of all is the court jester.
    For it is the jester that toes the line, at risk of decapitation for crossing it.
