The Road to Socalism Part Two

A friend of mine made a very accurate comment on the previous post. Obama isn't exactly a Socialist himself in the matter of ACTING like one....I don't think HE'S spreading anyone's wealth but OURS (and our children's, and grandchildren's), and I can't imagine he and "her highness" would ever receive nationalized health care.

So let me rephrase: Obama is a power-hungry, money-grubbing, smooth-talking (when the teleprompter is working) country-bankrupting despot who is forcing Socialism on his subjects so that they will indeed be HIS SUBJECTS.

What really bothers me is that Socialism is in direct contrast to Christianity. Yet, in an interview with Christianity Today, January 22, 2008, Obama said, "I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ."

Then, from the May 2010 issue of 'Israel Today,' page 3, in the article titled "Obama, a 'Strategic Catastrophe,'" by Aviel Schneider: "The feeling among the Israeli public is that Obama is appeasing the Muslim world at the expense of Israel."

"The American President told me in confidence that he is a Muslim," said Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit on Nile TV."

On August 13, 2010, in One News Now Obama was quoted as saying "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

Times they are a-changin'. Or is it just the Politician doing his thing? Which is he? Christian? Muslim? I'm pretty sure you can't be both. Not even if you're the President.

So back to Socalism vs. Christianity: Let me just say, that in my opinion, our fearless leader does not ACT like a Bible believing Christian. I cannot judge his soul; only God knows the truth.

However, the primary command by the God of the Bible is to "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31) Our neighbor is anyone we come in contact with. It is the Christian's responsibility to take care of the widows and orphans. It is the CHURCH who are supposed to be taking care of the poor, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting the sick. THAT'S what it's all about.

Socialism is in direct contrast to that! Let the government help you. Let the government tax the crap out of everyone who has worked hard to get where they are and give it to someone who hasn't earned it and may not deserve it. Let the government decide who you will help with your money. What, you don't want to support the perfectly healthy person who "can't" get a job? Sorry. Socialism says "not your choice." I know a person who has not worked in years. Literally years. And yet because they 2 children, this person sits on his or her butt and collects welfare. Could they work? Absolutely! Anything wrong with this person physically or mentally to prohibit them from working? Nope. But MY taxes, YOUR taxes, OUR hard-earned money is paying for this laziness. That makes me angry. How about you?

Do you know what suffered first in the "budget" of the Christian? Giving to missionaries. Eighty percent of missionary support comes from the United States. The government taxed and taxed and taxed some more to pay for money they've already spent, to the detriment of the American family.

18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28

How can we do that if we don't have money to give?

Our coutry is in crisis. Do not be fooled. God will not hold his wrath forever. Please join me in committing to pray for our nation, and its leaders, daily.
