Politics: Christianity and the Nanny State

The only item on the list that is both biblical and actually allowed by the constitution is national defense. In fact national defense is a mandate.

The rest are dependency devices contrived by power hungry politicians to create a permanent class of loyal voters. it has been a spectacular success. I’m against the whole list except defense.

To anyone who may suspect hypocrisy, I am poorer than anybody you know. I make way less than a grand a month (long story) and had to borrow money from my landlady,(who thankfully charges me what amounts to nothing), last month to keep my phone on.

I have been forced to practice what I’ve preached the last 25 years. I qualify for every “program” there is, but will drive downtown and jump off that bridge before I will take ANY of it.

We lived in squalor in the People’s Republic of New York when our daughter was a baby (despite my working 80 hours a week. Another long story), because I refused to let those blood sucking nanny state vampires get their fangs into me then.

These people have very shrewdly empowered and enriched themselves by inducing vast multitudes into the perpetual violation of the 10th commandment, financed by the perpetual violation of the 8th.

I know this. They give me nothing. I owe them nothing.
