Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "I don't think that most Americans realize that the enemies of our way of life and freedom are trying to destroy us from within..."

Yep (Jer 7:6).

"...[I]t is now or never, to take a stand."

When you say "stand" RePublicans hear "wave a white flag"--especially when it comes to expendable children.

Greenrage failed math.

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "And you failed economics. Which is more relevant."

"To put the numbers in perspective, financial author and radio host Dave Ramsey illustrated it this way: Take a couple that earns $58,000 a year. To put their income and spending on par with our nation's deficit spending ratios (we are about $16 trillion in debt, we spend about $3.7 trillion a year and take in about $2.9 trillion a year), it is akin to them spending nearly $75,000 a year. Now, realizing they have a spending problem, they decide to cut back their spending by $3,000 and then call that a success by saying these are "big cuts." They would still be spending more than 20% more than they earned..." Full text: America needs a budget breakthrough by William J. Bennett

"...[N]ational debt doesn't work like that and it's easily paid off once the economy picks up..."

Response to comment [from a Christian]:  "Economic slavery" -- I love how the Tea Party tries so hard to argue by label with the hope nobody notices."

They use the term "redistribution of income" too. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? Ex 20:15.

"Paris Hilton a tax cut."

Would you consider yourself a covetous person? Col. 3:5. Do you think a baby should have the same income as a man who has worked his entire life? Do you place a higher value on equality or liberty?

"...That changes the constitutional structure of this government entirely..." ~ Barack Obama

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...The problem is that the government is funneling so much money into the pockets of their wealthy cronies that it can't "afford" to help it's citizens, anymore..."

By help Ex 20:15 do you mean redistributing earned income?
