    If a person demands $10 an hour for a job only worth $5 an hour - wouldn't that be considered stealing from the employer.

    The Bible says a man is worthy of his labor - and as a Christian Business, I would strive to pay my employees a fair wage. - nothing less,

    Just where does the Federal Government get the authority to establish the wage that an employer must pay?

    Crabby, I suppose justifying the slaughter of 55,000,000 unborn children is an expression of LOVE by the people you support!

    Crabby, Do you contend that all the trash you post from Huffington Post and like sources epitomizes the LOVE of the leftists/democrats for the less fortunate. These people want to keep the poor in poverty so they can manipulate their vote. Since 1964 ~15 trillion dollars have been spent in the LBJ War on Poverty, roughly equivalent to the national debt!

    Crabby, You need to get out of that leftist fog bank you are in and accept the truth that you are wrong on almost everything you post on this Forum about Conservatives.

    The following shows that you are also sadly wrong about how the liberal/left cares about people, though I suspect you already know this. The leftists, of which you are one, simply want to keep the poor in bondage to the Federal Government, in other words "slaves to the leftist masters"!

    Brother, it is not that simple.

    No matter how strongly I disagree with some of your viewpoints I do not hate you. If I didn't have concern, I wouldn't bother to read or reply to your posts. Because some do show "contempt, no concern, and hatred" your words tend to pick up a broad paintbrush to apply a thick coat of stain to all who may be in disagreement. Intended or not, your implication of "hate" and "lack of concern" splashes into my face, too. Is that your intention?

    Think about it, Brother.

    And neither is the abortion issue as simply as you like to paint. Isn't your brush very broad there when you continue to directly or indirectly continue to paint someone as supporting abortion who has repeatedly said they are against abortion?

    Old, I was not responding to your post or posts when I made the comment you responded to. I was not attempting to paint you, but an attitude that others seem to have. It was to another on the board who seems to hold people in great contempt that I was responding to. To me that poster's words convict him/her.

    Also, isn't using the word the word "liberal" used often with a very broad brush also?

    Nope. What you did was run out of intelligent things to say, so you made up a fairy tale in your own polluted liberal mind, that because we disagree with you that we hate the poor. It is stupid to debate you when you take that stance, and any rational discussion is over at that point.

    I ask if it's an employer's responsibility to lift people out of poverty. You attack my walk with Christ. Webdog asks you an EXCELLENT question and you utterly ignore him. After telling dirty lies about the people challenging you.

    You are a disgrace.

    I asked Crabby a couple of questions (that based on his posts he should readily comprehend) that I have yet to see an answer to - unless I have just overlooked it some way! (Post # 12).

    Anxiously awaiting, but not holding my breath!:laugh:

    The Pharisees, who judged what others gave, looked down on people based on their own prejudices towards the poor.

    To claim we hate the poor is a personal attack and I have no idea how he keeps getting away with it.

    The old personal attack and disappear routine.

    IMO, abortion is a simple issue, regardless of how words about it are phrased. Either the baby is murdered or he/she isn't. I am opposed to abortion. Period. Mankind cannot breathe life into dust and create a human being. Both the OT and the NT make it plain with regards to murder.

    Please reference any posts that I have made with regards to you, specifically, on this subject. I will review. If an apology is due, I will apologize.

    Next: Please re-read the thread. You were responding directly to a post that I made. Your Post in full:
    Once again, it appears that you do use a wide paint brush when you omit the reference to particular people or posts. You said:

    I am a conservative. Thus, you accused me of hating people so much that I want to keep them in poverty.

    Finally,
    Yes, it is a broad brush.

    One that should be understood by people just as the broad brushes of "Christian" and "Muslim" or "Buddist". The use of "liberal" is within the same context as your use of "conservatives" above. A broad understanding of a particular viewpoint, whether religious or political. A general understanding that does not dive into the fine differences between the different types of Baptists within the context of Christianity when compared to Hindu beliefs.

    BTW, I read your post this AM when it only contained the second paragraph. Didn't have time to respond then. FWIW, I'm glad I waited until you had completed your edit of same.
