repugs say they have to cut down on spending meaning...

[butterfly77]

everything that helps working, poor and homeless people. They are licking their chops to cut some more programs. They say bush needs to cut down on spending and he needs to veto some bills. In reality this means cut programs for the poor,get rid of unions, cut out any medical care that is free and let them die. How can a government send money to other countries( which we do not have) and not take care of their own country. Their are 88,000 homeless in L.A.

1. Yep

Saw a headline in the Times today about a new philosophy which basically says people can see the degree to which you are faithful by how much you have-in other words, riches shows you are the elect. I assume this will be used as the reasoning behind cutting even more aid to those who need it.

Frankly, I think the Medicare drug benefit was purposefully made complicated so that poor folks who were moved off the Medicaid rolls onto it would be unable to buy their prescriptions and would die. The fewer poor people to bother with, the better-the rich repukes only want enough healthy peasants to do their grunt work at less than a pittance.

2. Not that new.

Prosperity theology has been around for a long time. It's been particularly popular (and quite insidious, as most faithful don't even know it's heretical) for about twenty years or so and getting more so with every megachurch. There might some good megachurches out there, but I have yet to hear of one. Most are based on prosperity theology and emotionalism, not the actual faith.

5. degree to which you are faithful by how much you have

This has been their ideology for some time now.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."--Matthew 19:16-24.


Don't pukes read their bible?

3. Yep, and they're doing it right out in the open....

they don't even flinch now when sticking it to the poor. Along with the medicare drug prescription fiasco, their policies have been responsible for causing death to the weakest among us.

In my book they are guilty of committing genocide by economics.

4. I believe that they are trying to destroy this country...

I heard years ago that the way this country would be destroyed, would be from in the inside. You can only squeeze the people so long before they decide that enough is enough.
