I never said I supported any side you are ageing with yourself. I said I wont vote for either side. Don't you get it yet?
Listen, who you vote for is up to you. If you don't vote, also up to you. But you seem to be left leaning in the issues you talk about. JMO. But to me, voting is a duty and an honor especially for a Christian and especially when the country is at risk of socialism, among other things. As I said before, the issue of abortion alone should be a reason to go vote. I'm not American, but I can't understand why anyone would not vote and take advantage of the freedom they have. So many around the world would love to have that type of freedom. So no, sorry, I don't get it. I don't get it at all.
If a person can consciously object to military service a person can object to voting for abortion, gay privileging, unregulated banking and wall street. No opponent stands in the middle so I vote for none! If they put the issues on the ballots I will choose for myself. But I care about the national debt and capitalisms going off the rails and putting profit before people.
If you think capitalism is putting profit before people, sit back and let the Dems get in. I care about the national debt, that's why I don't want the socialists to get in. But even that issue isn't more important than abortion. 65 million souls since Roe, as Christians we need to do all we can to see this stopped. Allowing Dems to get into office with only increase the murders and the age of those being murdered.
The Gays already have all the rights as anybody needs. Abortion is murder and the atheist's are taking over the schools and the mainstream media.
I'm not going to forsake our neighbors to narco terrorism and foreign invasion by Islamic terrorist forces like Contras while our children and grand children are fighting in the middle east and millions live here without affordable health care. And how are we supposed to pay off the national debt without raising taxes or making makers and suppliers of foreign made goods pay taxes on their profits made her on things made overseas by socialist slaves?
Healthcare needs to be changed, but free healthcare isn't the answer. Socialism isn't the answer. Taxes are through the roof in Canada, my friends and loved ones back home are saying they don't know how they are going to afford to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table if Trudeau gets in again with his own green new deal taxes. Raising taxes isn't the cure all for everything. It demolishes the middle class, like what happened under Obama.
It's not just an economic battle it's far more spiritual than you either realize or admit. I can't leave Christianity outside of the voting booth and vote for profit and low taxes.
High taxes do not work. The Bible says not to overburden the people. High taxes are paid by the middle class. The poor are taken care of by the gov't. So the middle class are the ones working hard to pay for all the gov't hand outs. They are the ones the suffered under Obama. It's just now they are getting back on their feet. I've seen at least ten houses built around my neighborhood in the last year and a half. That didn't happen under Obama, no one could afford to build, people were moving back in with their parents, there were no jobs to be found.
To those who are given much, much is expected. My biological Mother was a homeless teenage runaway. My step father was born in 1914 and was a dust bowl refugee. A WW2 Vet and a Union member for 37 years. I served during Viet Nam. My son served in Iraq and Kuwait. My oldest grandson is in the Navy. We have a pretty good grasp of what's going on and I assure you we oppose war for profit, abortion and homelessness. How can anybody choose either side unless we become selective of which evils we hate and which we overlook? Some things may be worse than others but is war over oil and opium just not bad enough? or can we keep our society free and healthy as our children educated in marketable skills without paying taxes? Has any nation, ever?
Then you of all people should understand how important it is to vote. We cannot keep our society free if we don't fight for it, and we do that at the ballot box. Look at the platforms of both parties. Dems are for handouts, Reps are for hand ups. On every issue Reps. are closer to the Bible view. I'm all for helping the poor out of poverty,not keeping them there. You want healthy kids with educations? Trump has seen the lowest unemployment rate for blacks, women and others. You want to pay off the debt? Trump has stopped several handouts and millions of dollars we've been paying all over the world. I'll say again, vote or don't vote, but no, I don't "get it" and never will. My parents taught me certain things were expected of me while I was living under their roof. Two of those were 1. You WILL attend church 2. You WILL vote. I hold to those both to this day because they were right!!
