The Christian thing to do is for individuals to give of their resources to help those in need. The federal government is not Christian, as the left so often points out. It is bound by constraints enumerated in a document we call the Constitution.
I've asked repeatedly in threads on and around this subject for a Liberal to define charity. None have even attempted.
How about you, my friend?
Well you've evidently been reaching the wrong people with that question, my friend. Charity begins at home and should continue throughout the country. Did you know that there are grants and other monies that are
given by the government for the purpose of assisting others who are in need? That is charity at it's best as should be. After all, it's far better for the government to assist those in need than to spend it on their pork barrel projects that will yield nothing but a chip on the sponsor's shoulder in the end. The government even gives Charity to foreign countries, by the billions, at times so take it from that. We simply cannot afford not to help those who are hungry in this great nation of wealth.
We have the means and if people would only open their hearts so many others could be helped. But the main deterrent is not the Libs or the Democrats, my friend, they are willing to help those in need, it is the miserly Republicans who always throw a wrench into things when such assistance is being proposed. And that is the real Shame!
