Wingnut bigotry- so very, very unchristian (Blog Entry by dag)

quantumushroom says...

DTF:

1) the premise of this blog post is absurd, that this whole push for unabashed communist health care in the USA is being thwarted by "racism" and a whole host of other -isms that have nothing to do with taxocrats' latest fascistic power grab, which is what obamacare is.


2) Señor Pennypacker hasn't yet figured out he won't "win" arguments with statists by appealing to reason or facts. VS for me is like the Kobayashi Maru but that's my choice.

3) All press is good press, though it doesn't do me any good.

QM, I agree- Australia's track record for dealing with aborigines is abysmal - I'm definitely not trying to set up a "us against you" situation, but that you would frame it that way certainly gives a good example of the reactionary neo-con point-of-view. America, fuck yeah.

Fair enough. The question is which is more immoral: being free to decide whether to give aid to others--based on religious beliefs or not*--or being forced at gunpoint (because that's what all government coercion is at its root) to give an involuntary percentage of your money to others who have not earned it, and in many cases broken the law to get to a place where they can receive it.

If Mexico wants to play this game of sending citizens most likely to overthrow its own corrupt regime northward, then the USA has every right to take as much Mexican oil as is required to pay for indigent care, crime and pollution caused by their illegal presence. That or enforce the border laws. And since protecting the borders is mandated by the Constitution yet ignored by congress, how can anything the Obamessiah claims he will or won't do be trusted?



* depending on others' charity means running a risk of having people not voluntarily give enough
