I notice that he never mentioned "Republicans" and he DIDN'T say "confiscate all you can from productive folks and bribe the vote of the poor with the proceeds thereof with socialist programs."....huh?
Again, you don't have a clue what Socialism is. You never took the time to study what it is you only repeat this because your media told you to.
Maybe I should have titled it "tempts all" but this is a political forum site where the Republicans don't want to give to the poor because someone might rape the system and get a free ride, sloth...
But isn’t it you who proclaim to be the great political educator? How long must we wait till you educate us on the truth and reality of socialism? Pray-tell us why if “social programs” are not socialism, they call them ”social” programs Oh Swami of all things political.
Oh! That's right, you don't answer questions, you just post leftist horseshit, huh?
by that idiotic logic, ice cream socials are "socialist" as well, eh?
Do you deny that ice-cream socials are voluntary social/socialist events?
The bolded part is a strawman lie; that is not what Christianity is saying; want to try again?One of the strangest changes in Christianity today is the idea that helping another creates dependency. Everyone in life has been helped in some way or another, it is simply part of the human project. Even animals help each other. I'd bet that not one person on here could live alone and create the necessities for life. Today the dichotomy between government v church has made America into a bizarre battlefield where libertarian and conservatives think everything government does can be done better by someone else. Who the someone else is vaguely answered as church or individuals. That so naive a thought has followers shows how people must think a civilized society is an act of magic and not of humans working together. When Jesus comes back with the loaves and fishes all will be a fine, till then it is up to government, churches, citizens to help each other. Seems the normal, Christian thing to do.

"These metaphors for condescending or dismissive behavior are more than just descriptive. They suggest, to a surprisingly accurate extent, the social distance between those with greater power and those with less — a distance that goes beyond the realm of interpersonal interactions and may exacerbate the soaring inequality in the United States." http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/05/rich-people-just-care-less/

Out of guilt ridden conscienceone of the strangest tactics on the part of the left today is the idea that people will actually believe them when they say Christians do not help others.......they made this attempt even in the last election despite the fact that the candidate put forward by the right not only donated a higher percentage of his income to charity than the two candidates on the left but contributed more than the two of them earned in the year, combined......
