Mr. Godar never went as far as to say that Christ was a communist. Turning the page to a different issue, Mr. Hartwig also mentions that Godar makes the claim that Republicans can't align themselves with Christ because they don't believe in throwing money at the poor. That's the number without health insurance. That includes orphanages, youth shelters, foster homes, single mothers who can't afford it, troubled families and selfish, rich single child households who could give a shit less.
Some people have no choice in the matter.
The welfare system in America IS in shambles. However, Mr. Hartwig seems to think that ONLY Republicans advocate bettering it with a welfare to work program. This is a program that is supported across the board. Certainly there have been revisions and opposition to some aspects of it, but I think it's a general consensus that if a family is given a horrible break in life and falls, the governing body which is responsible for our every daily activity in some way or another should help get them on their feet. I don't think that going as far as pulling all troops out of Europe, the Middle East and South Korea is a good idea at this time, but a decrease in defense to make an increase in budgets to be put toward health care or education available is a more reasonable option to me, and I don't think I'm alone.
