Let's see, Israel is the largest foreign recipient of our taxpayer's dollars. Israel gets $3 billion each year. Israel has 7.5 million citizens. If I do my math correctly that works out to $400 per Israeli each year of American taxpayers wealth being redistributed to them. Is this an example of socialism? A few years ago I backpacked throughout South and Central America for a year. I met many Israelis along the backpack circuit. They say that 75% of young Israelis like to get out and see the world for about the same time as I was traveling. I couldn't help but think that American taxpayer dollars is subsidizing that lifestyle. Israelis are nice people but they, as our European allies are, wealthy too.
Many goodly Christians say this of the $3 billion annual redistribution of America's wealth to Israel. "I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." - Genesis 12:3 And Jesus says, "How you treat the least amongst you, is how you treat me." Just who are the least amongst us, and what should the US government do about it?
I am getting tired of reading things like "have you served?" or "you don't have a right to say anything unless..." My RIGHTS come from God and are self-evident. People who think they can take away MY God given rights are behaving like Nazis. Yes, specifically, they behave like the Nazi concentration camp commander in Schindler's List. Remember him, the one, Amon Goeth who fancied himself saying "I bestow upon you!"
How should America have paid for the $120 billion per year Republican social engineering project in Iraq for eight years? Do Republicans still think war is FREE? I, for one, had always supported an additional war time gas tax until all troops were out of Afghanistan and Iraq.
The biggest supporters of segregation always considered themselves Christian conservatives.
Was Thomas Jefferson a racist? Did his first 10 Amendments to the Constitution pertain to people "with the wrong skin color?" Is it possible to hold people in servitude and curse them if they desire freedom to not be a racist?

The biggest supporters of segregation were and are Christian conservatives.
A Tea Party guy says, "well, you will see that when Americans were obedient and close to God, America prospered." I ask, "are you talking about slavery, segregation and lynchings?" The Tea Party guy states, "That does not count!" This is why some people justifiably call them Baggers (IMHO)
Proof positive that Republicans have Nazi tendencies and are Nazi-like. The point is the Nazis never considered themselves to be racists.
