Obama Has No Faith

.....survive. And there are good reasons working and middle class Americans do not have enough money to spend to keep the economy and small businesses going: 1. Wages and benefits fallen off 2. Value of homes fallen with the housing bubble 3. maxed out credit cards and ability to loan and borrow money 4. fewer Americans can afford college education 5. tax breaks for the wealthy that concentrates more money into their hands. 6. Union busting. But none of these problems will be directly addressed by the Right-Wingers because they put too much faith in the free market to solve them. Her reference to Columbus is insulting, and she should know better. Columbus shows the hypocrisy of those who say they are guided by faith. It was not faith ...

....that drove him. It was the greed of a capitalist and entrepreneur whose priorities were ‘gold, glory, and then god.’ Nor did he earn his fame and wealth honestly but stole it by enslaving Native Americans, then Africans, in a system of forced labor. The same could be said of many of the American colonists, an exception, of course, being the Quakers who settled Pennsylvania. --Zen

She isn't referring to religious faith! One can have "faith" without religion involved. She is using the term loosely such as "When I put the key in my car's ignition I have "faith" that the engine will come on and I will drive away. Faith in her case is the belief in something that has no concrete proof it is real ie: Columbus sailed from the Old World with "faith" that another land mass was before him!!!

Zen, you Socialists (G.W. Bush included) have had several years to impose Marxism and Unionism on us. The results- half of the country on welfare of some kind, half of the economy owned by government, half of our national wealth gone, 22% to 50% unemployment and ten trillion dollars in national debt. The falling wages, the housing bubble and the other problems listed were all caused by you Liberals.

D-482: if you want to retain credibility, then don't call GWB socialist. That is just plain idiotic.

Everything you say could be placed at the hands of big government. Wages and benefits fall because the private sector must compete for capital with a bloated ever taxing government. The government caused the housing benefit by promoting house ownership well beyond reason and assuming the risk for Fannie and Freddy. Education costs have gone up because the government keeps subsidizing it. Wealth concentration is because people differ in their talents, not some evil conspiracy. Union busting is essential for the survival of jobs. This right winger just addressed your concerns. Welcome to reality.

And the government is going to address this evil by redistributing the wealth of the successful!? How much do you want from me?

One would think a Zen master wouldn't be so blinded by ignorance.
