Shame on everyone for Obamacare
Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Obamacare]
The Democrats ushered in Obamacare but Republicans laid the groundwork in 2003, and were certainly no heroes in the lead up to this latest big government scheme.
That's right. Republicans paved the way for Democrats.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "The Republicans have nobody to blame but themselves for their failure to address the problem."
Progressives have been fighting to take over healthcare for sometime. When Republicans lost their conservative way, it paved the way for the "transformation" of America. No argument here. The law should be repealed. It is unconstitutional.
Progressivism is regressive. We've been there done that.
"Jonah Goldberg reminds us that the original
fascists were really on the left, and that liberals from Woodrow Wilson
to FDR to Hillary Clinton have advocated policies and principles
remarkably similar to those of Hitler's National Socialism and
Mussolini's Fascism.
Contrary to what most people think, the Nazis were ardent socialists
(hence the term "National Socialism"). They believed in free health care
and guaranteed jobs. They confiscated inherited wealth and spent vast
sums on public education. They purged the church from public policy,
promoted a new form of pagan spirituality, and inserted the authority of
the state into every nook and cranny of daily life. The Nazis declared
war on smoking, supported abortion, euthanasia, and gun control. They
loathed the free market, provided generous pensions for the elderly, and
maintained a strict racial quota system in their universities--where
campus speech codes were all the rage. The Nazis led the world in
organic farming and alternative medicine. Hitler was a strict
vegetarian, and Himmler was an animal rights activist... (Sleeve of his
book, Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg)."

Do you agree with Obama? Are you a liberal? The Democrats can no longer be called liberals. They are not liberals. They are social Democrats (like Latin America, like Europe).

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "I was under the impression that, as believers, we should care about the welfare of all."
We should. However, charity is different than theft. We should depend on our family and the church in times of need--not government.
