So after my favorite presidential candidate Mike Huckabee dropped out of the race, I found myself supporting Barack Obama for president.
I know our economy needs (or thinks it needs) stimulating, but doesn't spending a trillion dollars of deficit for the foreseeable future kind of make you think we live in a Quote-unquote Communist state, however unofficially? Giving these amounts of money to the entire nation certainly does seem like a re-distribution of wealth, especially when it is happening pre-emptively.
Oh well.

Communism

I think we could benefit from a little more communism, although I'm not sure I agree with the way it's being done. Of course, it's easier for someone without money to say "we should give people without money, money". :)
And I wouldn't even say that the US is being "Christian" in doing it. But I gotta think there's something good in giving to the poor.
Sure there's something good in giving to the poor, just don't mortgage everyone's future on it :). If you want to make everyone poor, then I guess it's a good idea :). I'm all for giving to the poor though, I think it should be other people doing it out of charity.
tru dat. if only we could count on the church doing what it should be doing, instead of selling trinkets of salvation - our government could set it's goal on governing.
I was disappointed that Romney dropped out. With his business acumen and strong faith and morals, he's the best President we could hope for at this time.
I hope pastorwick was joking when he said, "I think we could benefit from a little more communism" Communism is evil. It disincentivizes people. Look what's happened in USSR and Cuba and North Korea. What we need is lower taxes, less government regulation, the expelling of illegal immigrants (and punishment for businesses that illegally employ them) and more conservative judges (who don't legislate from the bench) on the courts.
I'm pretty sure he said it mainly in reference to giving more money to the poor, not in the evil regime sense :). Romney would have been interesting, but I don't think that's really what we're missing.
yah, not sure about communism being inherently "evil" anymore than any political system without humanity filling it's ranks can be. Even the "Godly" system of democracy is capable of horrible acts of evil. Justified, of course, because masses have chosen them.
We need elements of humanity and greater good, whatever political form they may come in.
