But this bit from Doug and one of his Loon Brigade is enlightening. Doug paraphrased and attacked Obama's recent prime-time press Q&A. Obama mentioned that the increasing problem of homelessness is something the government should assist with. The explosion of "tent communities" in the wealthiest nation on the planet is a true tragedy.
The vile and extreme hatred for people who need help by members of the Loon Brigade, so-called Christians no less, has to be seen to be believed.
In this case.. the argument goes, some people choose to be homeless, and that they have children is not our problem. Fuck 'em.
Dig it;
I believe Mr. Obama does have "strong moral, ethical guidelines", the fact that he hasn't shared what they actually are is what I find disturbing , especially in light of his vote on the born alive legislation.
He is also, clearly under the impression that all or most homeleass children are homeless because mom and dad simply don't have jobs. I have known some folks who chose to be homeless, some of them children. Mom and/or dad's lack of employment was never the reason they gave me for being homeless. (Unscientific and probably not representative of the entire homeless community, I'll grant you.)Although I am sure Mr. Obama's budget, should it pass will have several families out on the streets in no time, so perhaps my objection is a bit premature.

I agree, Call Me Mom, Obama probably has a great sense of moral ethical guidelines, or at least what he thinks to be so. I am sure he is a likeable person, easy to get along with, pleasant to be around. I don't hate him like The Left hated Bush - but. . . Mr. Obama does not realize that morality and ethics is something to be practiced by individuals, voluntarily. Rather than allow that, he would rather make it harder to give to charity (by decreasing charitable tax write off) and force everyone into "moral" actions by doing everything through the government. He is all about government. And government takeover like this is explained in one word: Socialism. Something else that was interesing: in the homeless question, did you notice that the reporter said 1 in 50 children are homeless? Isn't that a little ridiculous of a number? Think about it. But it is typical. Throw out an outrageous number so that people are outrageously affected by it. That is how the Left works - say lies often enough and people begin to believe them.

Doug is still deleting off comments, but I do enjoy needling him about this stuff..
Wait a second..
Because some adults "choose" to be homeless, that means the government should do nothing for the overwhelming vast majority who do not "choose" it? Really?
By the way.. maybe Doug, you should be specific about the charitable tax deduction. Instead of making broad generalities, maybe point out that if a very wealthy person contributes money, they can write off up to 35% of the contribution, but a much more modest person may only be able to write off 15%. Obama wants to close that gap, and I agree with him.
Besides.. if somebody is giving to charity for the tax deduction, they're doing it for the wrong reason.
In any case.. glad to know that the government should do nothing for homeless people. What other programs and assistance should be done away with?
They truly are vile.
/update
Just left this bit.. what are the odds that he'll delete it? LOL
By the way, I'm sure you're upset at your Republican Governator for this;
“Together with the local government and volunteers, we are taking a first step to ensure the people living in tent city have a safe place to stay, with fresh water, healthy conditions and access to the services they need,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement. “And I am committed to working with Mayor Johnson to find a permanent solution for those living in tent city.”
Doesn't he know that some of those people "choose" to be there? They don't "deserve" fresh water and such, because there will be no incentive for them to work. Doesn't he know that?
And another thing occurred to me. Why does "tent city" exist? Are the religious institutions in California not doing their Christian duty to assist these people? I thought religious charity was supposed to fix these things in a "voluntary" way?
I suppose those churches are just choosing not to help those homeless people. Very Christ-like I must say.. because Christ never did or said anything about the poor you know... besides "get a job, you dirty heathens".
