So, how are all you Democrats enjoying life, these days? Was this the
change you were hoping for? Anyone out there going to vote for more
of this change? I hope not.
I am leaving your bait untouched, and will ask you a question instead.
As a, presumably, man of Jesus, what did you do to help out those
unfortunate people? Did you offer to try to help the son? Point him
in the direction of some work, ask if he had any other marketable
skills, offer to hire him for even a few hours of paid work? Did you
tell the father something to soothe his soul and offer him hope? Or
did you decide that bitching and moaning on Usenet to further your
political views would cover all of your bases and get you into heaven
that much sooner?
Hmm. Did the son vote for the current administration? If so, he got what he
wanted. Further, his vote adversely affected me, so my bag of Christian
charity is, um, down to lumps of coal.
Problems are never solved by dividing people. Even in war, unless
there is overwhelming military superiority, AND the other side doesn't
really care if they win or lose, things are decided and solved by
people coming together.
In war, things are decided by vanquishing the foe, not negotiation. The
Allies put Germany and Japan back to the Stone Age, and now they are our
fast friends. The conflicts between North & South Korea, the Jews and the
Arabs, Greece and Turkey, and almost all the rest that have been "settled"
by "cease fires" and "truce" are not really settled at all.
We are not at war, we are one people with problems that need to be
solved.
I agree. We are of one mind on the problems, we differ on the solution.
Neither side has overwhelming superiority of any sort.
Agreed. Although one prognosticator opines that, if the full Senate were up
for a vote, Republicans would be at better than a 60-seat majority with a
good chance of override-veto level (67 seats).
