    Unplugging the Third Rail: Choices for Affordable Medicare

    I agree with tort reform. But your second point is unacceptable. You realize we're talking about Medicare, right? Almost everyone who retires these days gets that for retirement medical even people like me who worked 38 years for one company. Do you want only catastrophic insurance in retirement?

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    Stop [dealing falsely with] people you don't even know and stop charactizing all members of a group as the same. That is the definition of discrimination.

    Unplugging the Third Rail: Choices for Affordable Medicare

    Our healthcare system is extremely inefficient. It's the most expensive in the world but about number 15 in terms of meeting the needs of our citizens. One thing we need to do is push further use of technology in the medical field. Another thing is to do away with for-profit hospitals. Insurance...

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    The Romans were the agents but the Jews chose for Jesus to die instead of Barabas. They crucified Jesus. But the real answer is more complicated. Watching massive crowds follow Jesus, the Jewish Pharisees and Sadducees decided to be rid of Jesus and regain their authority among the people...

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    You support a party which has used the gospel for political gain. They are pushing a false gospel which combines faith and Republican politics. Roe vs. Wade was passed by a Republican Supreme Court 50 YEARS ago. Despite a lot of talk nothing has really been done about changing it. There have...

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    I certainly agree that it was the plan of God for Jesus to die on the cross. But what did the Jews who crucified him believe or know about that. They had their own reasons which I summarized.

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    The Bible makes social justice a mandate of faith and a fundamental expression of Christian discipleship. Social justice has its biblical roots in a triune God who time and time again shows his love and compassion for the weak, the vulnerable, the marginalized, the disenfranchised, the...

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    They did crucify Him because He claimed to be the Son of God and He performed miracles as well as raising people from the dead. But the reason they rejected Him as the Messiah was He was not the kind of Messiah they were looking for. They were looking for a military leader and He was a man of...

    Pledge of Allegiance not what the Founding Fathers had in mind

    The Jews wanted their Messiah to lead them against Rome and reinstate their nation. Jesus made it clear He did not come to do that. His kingdom was not of this world but of Heaven. That's why they crucified Him. This is at the very heart of the gospel.

    Read the end of MAT chapt. 25 and then try to convince me that Jesus wasn't concerned with "social justice." Notice what He says about so-called Christians who reject that concern. [Mat 25:41-46 KJV] 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into...

    "Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence." (John 18:36 KJV) How many times did Jesus do anything political?

    You've got it exactly wrong. Conservatives want to exclude the Sermon on the Mount and MAT 25. Red Letter Christians is a group that focuses on the words of Jesus in the Bible. They oppose those like you who pronounce their political opponents to be nonBelievers. What Red Letter Christians Can...
