RE: Loving Our Neighbors

I'm obviously missing something, here. Who's coming to your door with a gun and demanding money for the poor?

And I am not singling you and Andy out. Now YOU are taking things too personally. My party supports social programs; your party does not. If you don't like the association, then maybe it is time your party changed its attitude and tried to do more for the common man and the poor than for the wealthiest 5%.

I believe it is important to provide government-sponsored support systems to those in need. This can be temporary, like FEMA or it can be longer term, like Welfare and Unemployment. In a perfect world, these would be temporary but that isn't always the case.

I certainly do my part to support local charities and give to individuals that I feel need my help. But I don't have a lot. And I can't help everyone. And let's face it; everyone DOESN'T give to charity or their church or missions. Maybe if we all gave a little something there would be no need for social programs, but that is not feasible.

Call me a socialist. That is exactly what I am and I'm proud of it!
