Bullshit and you know it. But if that makes all things right in your tiny little world then go with it. . .
Do it then.  When is the last time he went over seas and met with the troops, had a dinner at the WH with leaders, met with advisors, had a press conference where he actually answered questions that weren't pre-approved, went to congress in an open to the public meeting and tried to get things worked out?

Nope. You'll not goad me into a war against an unarmed individual. . .

That video illustrates what will eventually bring about the demise of this failing experiment in democracy.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Another point that deserves being made about that is that those who control the wealth control the politics (aided and abetted by disastrous SCOTUS rulings like Citizens United).  Congress isn't working for we the people anymore.  They're working for that 1-2% at the top who have all of the money.

Absolutely!  :yes:

Which is exactly why they don't care what happens to anyone else, and why they hold the least amongst us hostage to their supposed political ideals so readily.

Yes I watched it, and it is a propaganda piece.  Full of spin, baby spin.

Yes, we DO have some income disparity....but Gov intervention is NOT and will NEVER fix this.  THAT is what caused it in the first place.

We need to allow those with money to freely spend it, not demand it from them.
