Pastor Rick Warren was on Meet the Press this morning and I loved what he said. He said he was not Right Wing or Left Wing, he's the whole bird! He supports our country, our president and our congress. He doesn't want any to fail because that would be saying he wants America to fail. (BTW, he gave 90% of his earnings from his book, Purpose-Driven Life, to the needy. It is only the biggest selling book, next to the Bible, earning 10's of millions. I guess he must be some kind of socialist liberal in sheeps clothing!)
All I see in all of these Right Wing rants is an underlying, salivating, narcissistic war cry of "I got mine so leave me alone!!!! I want Obama to fail!" Oh yeah, that's real clever.
I don't care if you're right, left, or pigeon-toed. If there is one hungry or homeless person in this country, it is a travesty! And I won't stop bringing it to everyone's attention, so put on your ear muffs!
My Dad was my hero. Here was a man that worked hard as a bricklayer all of his life. He provided for my mother and I to the best of his abilities. Then when he came of age, he was "screwed" out of his pension by the bricklayer's union because of a loophole. He should have been bitter. I should be bitter. But no. My Dad was the kind of man, that if he had one dollar left to his name, and you needed it, he would give it to you. Sometimes keep a dime, sometimes not. Never missed a Santa Claus with a bell, or a bucket for Jerry's Kids. And it was not only money, but his time. He was the one digging people's cars out in a snowstorm. The one that would take all the kids in the neighborhood to the Zoo every Sunday, paying for them because many of their parents had even less than we did. He had a giving heart. And do you know, that when he passed away, people came from all around to grieve. You could barely get in the door of the chapel. Don't get me started on giving, because I learned from the best!
We will all be judged one day for our deeds. Faith, hope and charity. Not just words to needlepoint on a pillow!

I have no problem with your support of all these social programs at all...everyone has their opinions, but jumping to judgements on folks is a bit bothersome.
If you think that those who oppose this particular health bill are not good people, you are wrong. If you think that those who oppose this particular health bill do not care about the needy, you are wrong. That seems to be your thrust in total....you dont discuss how good or bad this is for the country from a pragmatic standpoint which is what we are doing.
I oppose this bill because it is the wrong bill at the wrong time. I do NOT oppose A health insurance bill, but I DO NOT support this one. I hope that is ok with you and your passing judgement on folks who dont approve of this health bill with biblical quotes is, to me anyway, very insulting.
You know how I feel about this President....I abhor and fear the social direction and it has NOTHING to do with what I do or dont do in my giving.....I have said I reserve judgement on his handling of foreign affairs.
I also know with all the hate and such you had for the previous president you surely didnt support him but you expect everyone to bow down and oppose nothing that is done by this administration.
Heck, even the Democrats dont agree on THIS bill, you quote biblical passages because people here and around the country can see the direction this is going !
