Chris Matthews Apologizes for "Glad Hurricane Happened" Comment

Just don't equate the sacrifices of the WWII generation with that of the 1+ trillion cost of Obamacare. In the face of a 16 trillion dollar deficit, why don't you admit that the best sacrifice would have been to repeal the monster Affordable Care Act? When I was growing up, we didn't have health insurance. The bill for my birth was in the hundreds of dollars. My mom spent ten days in the hospital. (Her doctor, like others of that day, prescribed hospital bed rest as she had six others at home.) We received good food at home, prepared by my stay-at-home mom, who remained married to my dad all her earthly life until his death. We were fed, clothed and housed by my parents and welfare was eschewed and work was esteemed. Intangibles matter.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” (Second President of the U.S., John Adams.) When the electorate tips the balance (and it has) it's all over. What remedy is there if not a new Revolution or an iron-fisted dictator?

My first post I did not intend as an attack on Christianity, but on those who would call themselves Christians, and rather look to the government to supply their need rather than trust in God's promises and lean on God's word on the subject. I Tim. 5:8 "But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the Faith, and is worse than an infidel." II Thess. 3:10-12 "..that if any would not work, neither should he eat. For we hear that there are some..working not at all...Now them who are such we command & exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread." Many think this is common sense, but now you know--it has authority: this is God's word on the subject.
