indyt said:Respectfully, I do feel the Presidents agenda is moving too closely to socialism. And as for Israel, I do worry about his and Ms. Clintons policies toward them. Myself, I believe that Israel, according to the Bible, is the Jews and no one else's.
And the Palestinian Muslims feel that its theirs, with equal conviction. Your subjective beliefs won't sway theirs, and no one has a right to make policy based on faith, which is exactly:indyt said:Myself, I believe that Israel, according to the Bible, is the Jews and no one else's.
HovitosKing said:... why religion and politics shouldn't mix.
I don't care what your faith is. But you can't make policy based on religious beliefs. You just can't.indyt said:The source of my thoughts come from scripture, therefore in you guys eyes that disqualifies me, thats OK. But you can even look at secular history and see that the Jewish people have been in the land since Abraham.
monkey said:Most people who call themselves "Jews" today are actually 'Khazars' or 'Askenazi' Jews. They are a tribal people from the Steppes of Russia, who adopted Judaism about 1500 years ago. They did so because they wanted to be niether Christian, nor Muslim. They wanted to play both sides one against the other.
Kevin said:Obama is a communist because he wants a universal health care plan? In that case every European nation now (really every developed nation, because all except the US have universal health care) is a communist power. We thought Reagan saved us from the communist threat; how naive we were, we're surrounded!
However, I don't think socialized heath care will make this country a better place. If care in industrialized nations that have socialized National Health Care is so great, why do they come to the United States when they need real care? Take for example the prime minister of Italy, he could have had free heart surgery at home, but he came here to have it. http://beltwayblips.dailyradar.com/story/world_briefing_europe_italy_berlusconi_has_heart/
emtiem said:I don't understand why paying for a public utility is the worst kind of socialism. Don't Americans pay for schools, emergency services, roads etc. through taxes? If you're an adult who doesn't have kids, does paying taxes so that children can go to school not make you some kind of awful socialist? If not, why not? I don't get it.
HovitosKing said:You are correct. It's political posturing and fear mongering (a la Joseph McCarthy) from a marginalized party wanting to prevent a massive beneficial overhaul of a broken system so that the other party doesn't receive the credit for progressing the country and improving lives. Unfortunately, about half the US lives in the stone age mentally and doesn't reason to the degree that you apparently have. They are therefore easily scared and confused because they don't bother to self-educate.
you are correct. Its just another way of spreading the wealth around which is totally unfair to people who work their butts off and pay their taxes just so it can cover people who are lazy asses.Short Round said:haha, please tell me this isn't the guy who called other people bigots! Please!
Anyway, this paragraph is what's wrong with so many people now days. They think people who work their asses off should pay for other people who refuse to work or work as hard. These people want the government to run their lives because they themselves cant.

HovitosKing said:Not to mention the fact that public healthcare already exists in this country, and it wasn't the brainchild of the antichrist socialist nazi [insert whatever here] Obama. Anyone associated with the military receives health care through TRICARE. I say if it's good enough for our military, it should be good enough to offer as an alternative for the rest of us. God bless America, and God bless our troops. You disagree?
HovitosKing said:Apparently none can run his own life. I want the government to run mine, you want God to run yours. At least that which I choose actually exists. You're throwing coins into a wishing well. Yes, I'm mocking you.
monkey said:As a recipient of TRICARE, I'm not so sure it should just be offered to everyone.
It is one of the benefits of having served.
It should be earned.
And I certainly agree with Blessing our Troops.
Let's bring them home.
