Redistribution of wealth?

You're just repeating phrases you've heard people you respect on tv say.
What do you think the so called Death Tax is?
What do you think President Obama was saying when he stated in reference to raising taxes:

“It’s not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody … I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

In this context, he's not talking about taking money from anyone and giving it to anyone.

He's talking about the opportunity, "the chance" for wealth creation for ALL AMERICANS being a sign of a good economy.


His attitude is such as when the people on the lower end of the economic strata are moving up, then the economy is strong for everyone.


His attitude is not take from Peter and give to Paul-- which is how his attitude is painted by many of our GOP brothers.

No, he's saying I'm going to tax you..take what you earn...and use that to help those that are not at your level.

Not from me.

I want to believe that most of the time, when America gets into a conflict or war, it's for just reasons-- ultimately.

The most recent Iraq war was not what I would call a just war by any stretch.

I would imagine you wouldn't say that if you'd be saved from the barbarity of Saddam and his sons......

We had our Revolution to fight.

Our countrymen spilled their own blood.


Besides, what you presented is not the reason we went to war with Iraq in the first place and you know it.

It's not the reason that was sold to the American general population because it would have never worked.

The "Coalition of the Willing" did not sign up for the mission you mention either.


Hussein was not innocent. He was not saved. He was wicked.

However, his wickedness does not call for the wickedness displayed by the "decision makers" in their deception of so many in trying to convince us that Hussein was an immediate threat to the world.


Now we have someone who is DEFNITELY more of a threat to the world in power in Iran.


Notice how NO ONE is rushing to take this wicked man out of power!

Was Hussein more wicked than the Iran guy?



When Hussein was hanged, I was sad.

Whether or not he deserved is another discussion.

Our role in the way that whole thing unravelled is treacherous at best.

God will judge those who decieved us for their own purposes. Unless they repent, the seeds sown in that whole episode will produce terrible, terrible fruit.



But it doesn't matter to most non-thinkers as Hussien was a bad man and probably deserved to die anyway.

So did Saul.
