    I find it hard to believe that a Christian doesn't care about our quality of healthcare for the poor and needy. I do. Do you?

    Nope, CTB is still banned. The Admin team takes trying to sneak back while banned very seriously.

    The left wants the world to believe that conservative Christians want everyone to be poor, down and out and hopeless. Conservatives realize that poor people are the most expensive segment of society so we really want them to be able to care for themselves. We care enough to point out this "healthcare for everyone" just makes more people apt to be poor down and out and unable to take care or their families all the while making big government God to the masses. Giving politicians even more power which they crave.

    Big Government was never the answer to any question, especially healthcare. Never will be. Careful whom you appoint as the golden calf, you just may get it.

    Yep, I see the people lining up now to charter rowboats to Cuba for their freedoms and great healthcare. Madonna when she had her child said one thing, America has the best healthcare for a reason. Thus the reason she left Europe to go back the US (not Cuba) to have her child.

    Even diehard leftist know what you say is not true.

    I've shown here that American Christian churches cannot afford to even provide healthcare to the needy. You support more weapons. I support more healthcare. As the classic question goes: "What would Jesus do?'

    The premise of the question is that government should be doing both. It is a false premise.

    I agree. Cut the pentagon budget until a thorough audit is done to identify the trillions of $ they can't account for now. Spend the money on helping the needy.

    I don't mind the audit on the Pentagon so long as it is done on all the fed. It is not the governments job to help the needy with money or services.At least not the fed.

    The money is in dark programs. Secret weapons. Etc. Not a problem in my mind.

    What does the Constitution of the USA say -
    A- support a military -- YES
    B- Support health care -- NO

    Note: if I am incorrect- please give the reference of the COTUS

    So you do not comply with the Amendments to the Constitution or the laws that have been passed by the Congress and signed by the government 225 years? I wouldn't say that in writing if I were you.

    Amendments are part of the COTUS
    Laws ARE NOT!!

    Many laws passed by Congress are not constitutional -

    Yes Elizabeth and true charity comes from the heart of the individual, not some government agency who got their money from confiscating it from them via the tax system.

    So like former Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona (found guilty of criminal contempt) you have decdided which laws you will obey and which you will not? Good luck with that.

    The hearts of some genuine Christians tell them to help the needy using government funds because the churches can't afford to do that.
