Hear! Hear!

I don’t understand why some politico can’t just come right out and say what you just said.

President Obama opened a full-frontal assault Tuesday on the budget adopted by House Republicans, condemning it as a “Trojan horse” and “thinly veiled social Darwinism” that would greatly deepen inequality in the country.

I think it is called Second Thessalonianism...

2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

Charity and love for those in need is the duty of the individual Christian, but it needs to be understood that is charity, and not an entitlement. And the government's attempt to usurp the individual's place in charity is anti-Christian.

Hear! Hear!

The current welfare state is epitomized by the “single mom” showing up at the food pantry to get food dropped off by someone who drives a 10+ yr old car.
She wears new clothes, new shoes, her kids have the latest athletic wear, she has hair extensions and freshly manicured nails, and drives a new car.

All her “wants” are fulfilled because people of better character are sacrificing their own families’ wealth paying for her needs.

ENOUGH.

Is there such a thing as “Socialist Darwinism”?

That would be where you pay the unproductive and government dependent among us to have children so that subsequent generations are more and more unproductive and government dependent via genetics and culture.

As far as I know nobody yet has proposed this directly, but it sure seems to be one of the net results of their policies.

“economic justice” = Communism

[what's up]

Classic Alinsky.

Use the rhetoric that's true for you and use it against opponents.

Bimbi is going to get more and more "out there" as time passes.

a place where prosperity doesn’t trickle down from the top

There is nothing trickle down about a free society with a capitalistic economy. There is only the fact that capital accumulation and economic progress depend on saving and innovation and that these in turn depend on the freedom to make high profits and accumulate great wealth. The only alternative to improvement for all,through economic progress achieved in this way, is the futile attempt of some men to gain at the expense of others by means of looting and plundering. This,the loot-and-plunder theory is the alternative advocated by the critics of the misnamed trickle-down theory.

The widening gulf between the rich and everyone else, Mr. Obama said, was hobbling the country’s economic growth.

The gulf is getting much smaller. The poor are not gettng richer though. When is the last time a poor man hired employees? Obama is a bold face liar, he is destroying the country's economy as fast as his little Facist hands can sign our freedom away.

But there is hope, every law, every treaty and every bill he has signed is invalid, as he is not eligible for the Presidency. Its all the biggest legal disaster in American History. It will take as long to straighten out as the money he stole for his buddies will take to repay.

We have a lot of work ahead of us to fix the disaster of this mans crimes. It will take decades to fix four short years of his Chicago politics.
