    So you will state that you always opposed the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? Good. I'm waiting.

    That is fine with me.....look, I just got upset with someone & called him a A/H however I haven't called someone a Neo NazI ......thats pushing it brother. I guess liar is OK in certain times. Its kinda funny that BB abhors vulgarities....even suggested ones, but names like Nazi & White Supremacist go unnoticed. A/H I can let pass but NAZI, them is fighting words....at least to me.

    You’re the one who seems uneducated on the matter, how about if you do your own work. BTW, I said it was a dim, you extrapolated that to a conspiracy. Games people play.......

    So in other words you don’t back up your claims. Very well now you are not credible.

    Let’s see, isn’t this where you say something like, ‘go chase yourself’? Yeah, that.

    Notice how I went to the trouble of finding some normally left sites for you.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/14/us/steve-scalise-shot-alexandria-virginia.html

    Gunman who shot Steve Scalise cased baseball field for weeks before rampage

    Man who shot Scalise had list of GOPers in pocket during rampage

    You may recall Rand Paul was also at the shooting, & then was later attacked in his own yard by another unhinged dim neighbor.

    I care about the poor by donating to charities from my heart and my own pocketbook, and if the government let me keep more of my own money I would donate even more.

    Also, is it part of your faith that you like your tax dollars going to a business that slices and dices human babies in the womb?

    Unhinged is the operative word... For example, Stephen Paddock... no strong political affiliations

    What business does that? Are you referencing Planned Parenthood? Have you kept up with the Omnibus Bill?

    Trouble is history tells us that doesn't work. Try reading some Dickens for some examples of how it doenst work. Hence the necessity of the Welfare State.

    No more than it's a part of my faith that I like my taxes going to a military industrial complex that kills Iraqi and Yemeni children

    As I said, solely Christian charity has been tried before and found sadly wanting. Until we have a Christian society then the government has to fill the gaps: that's not Marxism just common sense.

    So many errors here...where to start? First it's not an 'unending supply ' of money; in this country it isn't nearly enough which is why our healthcare system is failing because it and other public sector services have been cut to beyond the bone. Secondly, it doesn't encourage dependence except for a small minority and I'd rather spend a few bob on the so called 'undeserving poor' than risk penalizing this genuinely in need. Lastly (again), perhaps most importantly, I don't support abortion

    So this is your answer to EW&F's question: for you it's the Constitution that's supreme,.

    If you were ever in welfare, the state owns you and that is Marxism

    Have you ever read the government of the Roman Cato the Elder, he was frightening to the rich....ie he taxed luxury thus he could feed the poor. And in Cato’s eyes there were allot of luxuries.... he lived a very simple life himself and that became his guideline.

    The Brits need to send all their immigrants to Germany where they have big bucks for welfare.
