Windfall Profits Tax = The State decides how much profit a business can make. If they are making ‘too much’ – the State then gets to take that profit away and redistribute it. That’s abject big government Socialism/Marxism wealth red…

If you look at the earliest days of the Christian church, you will find, for reasons of safety and support, many many Christians lived communally…and their societlal leadership was indeed built around those who had the knowledge and understanding of the teachings of Christ, so, yep…communist theocrats isn’t all that outlandish.

Its beyond outlandish and dead wrong. What Bible are you reading? Point me to anything Jesus ever said that advocated any kind of socialism. Or give me any reference in the Old Testament that embraced any kind of socialist/Communist ideology, it doesn’t exist. Those ideas are anathema the Christian teachings. Communal living for whatever extent that existed does NOT mean they lived in a commune. Living in a community does not make one a Communism.

“But if the government undertakes to control and to raise wages, and cannot do it; if the government undertakes to care for all who may be in want, and cannot do it; if the government undertakes to support all unemployed workers, and cannot do it; if the government undertakes to lend interest-free money to all borrowers, and cannot do it; if …. ‘The state considers that its purpose is to enlighten, to develop, to enlarge, to strengthen, to spiritualize, and to sanctify the soul of the people’ — and if the government cannot do all of these things, what then? Is it not certain that after every government failure — which, alas! is more than probable — there will be an equally inevitable revolution?”

-Frederic Bastiat, “The Law,” June, 1850

It’s been more than 150 years since Frederic Bastiat wrote his treatise, The Law, a small work, challenging the ravages of failing socialism thrust upon France as a result of the French revolution.

Buying votes is what it is.
Sickening.

It’s South Side Chicago community politics, which formed Obama’s political identity early on. Get money, support, projects, subsidies, for the poor, from the govt. This is as natural as breathing to Obama. It’s his modus operandi.

In God We Trust.
To thyself be true.
Conservative

Prevent the Marxist DILLETANT DNC from serving Jim Crow to us all this Thanksgiving!

“Just Say NO!”

Remove the gavel from Pelosi; vote AGAINST democrats.
Leave her in the minority and she loses!

VOTE CONSERVATIVE:
FOR THE US CONSTITUTION
FOR AMERICA
FOR YOUR FAMILY
FOR YOURSELF

Survive and Thrive ’08
Pump, Produce, Prosper!

Robin Hood + Karl Marx = Barak Obama

Sorry, Ed, but “the most obvious point of all is that” no one will be seeing this money over the next four months, unless Obama intends to take time out of his busy schedule to wave his magic wand over Congress. This is not a serious proposal, it’s the Abracadabra Pandermania Plan. Just fill in the blank: If I were the President, I would…..

and it will destroy the usa.

make no mistake about it: obama and reid and pelosi will pass this if obama is elected.

and then target walmart and talk radio and go on the rampage for the NEA and the SEIU and AFSCME.

it will take another massive reagan-thatcher revolution to undo it. and er um…. i don’t see anyone of that stature around.

a vote for obama is a vote for the destruction of the USA as a superpower.

and that would make the leftists and the jihadists happy.
