@JSul3 Yes, Jesus helped others when they turned over their life to Christianity. Is that what you want?
Yes, conservatives also want to help the moral, responsible people that actually help others.
Democrats SAY they want to help, as long as someone else does it.
My wife and I have been rescuing animals for over 30 years. We walk the walk, We pay for everything ourselves, and do all the work ourselves. We do not expect other people to do it, just so we can feel good about ourselves.
Jesus supposedly fed the masses. Was everyone present a Christian? I doubt it.
Tell me again why your side refuses to provide the ACA and SNAP benefits to those in need, many who live in red states?
End the shutdown by agreeing to extend those benefits that help Americans. Do the moral thing, right?
Then have Speaker Mike Johnson swear in the newly elected member of the House....who will then be the deciding vote to reveal the entire Epstein files.
@JSul3 Democrats need to do away with their massive spending and open up the government.
They are keeping the Govt shut down for one reason. THEY WANT MONEY! They have people, and countries that need to be paid off.
What you are saying is, you want Republicans to give 1.5 Trillion dollars to Democrats. Because you believe it will somehow trickle down to others. This isn't about SNAP or benefits. It's in ADDITION to SNAP and benefits.
@DogMan Why are the SNAP and ACA benefits being denied? Why don't the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) pass a bill to renew those benefits that folks in Red States want?
They are cutting these benefits in order to pay for the tax breaks to the rich.
People are needing food and want their healthcare benefits.
Why won't the Guardians of Pedophiles not give their voters what they want?
If you define a Christian as a follower of Christ, then at the very least there were the twelve disciples and Mary of Magdala and other women who supported them financially.
" And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance."
@jackjjackson So why doesn't the Guardians of Pedophiles Party not extend them or provide a Big Beautiful New Healthcare Plan, that nobody has ever seen before? Another "promise" broken by the Pathological Liar In Chief Donald Trump!
Do you realize how many red state Trump voters will be impacted by losing those subsidies?

Jesus was a socialist.
WWJD?
You are justanother left wing atheist trying to pretend to be a Christian when it suits them The left wing has NO moral compass. They shun religion and worship celebrities
Capitalism is the only system you know. You have never lived under Communism or socialism.
You want to pretend there will be no greed under Socialism/Communism? If you do, you are a naive old man.
Communism/Socialism will be the bastion of greed, selfishness, and immorality.
"Communism/Socialism will be the bastion of greed, selfishness, and immorality."
Indeed it has, at least for the high-up leadership, the Nomenklatura.
But then European communism collapsed, because of (as Marx would say) its own internal contradictions.
And there also was Maoist China, where his insane communist government caused many millions of deaths with its "great leap forward" (into the abyss) and its "cultural revolution," until Deng Xiaoping took the capitalist road that led to the present de facto fascist one-party state in China, with publicly visible billionaires.
But not to worry. @JSul3 undoubtedly believes that they will get it right the next time.
There's nothing like a collectivist True Believer, as Eric Hoffer so aptly pointed out.
@Thinkerbell When will they just come out and cop to the fact that they are the new National Socialist Party?
They have brain washed enough people now, that they should be OK with being full-fledged Nazis, After all, they are the "Good" Nazis. Their Nazi party will get it right. As soon as they get rid of the "Other" party.
Like Bernie, hey will claim to be good, honest, democratic socialists with no ulterior motives whatsoever.
They just have to get rid of that other party first, before they can advance and accomplish their beneficent agenda for the good of all. Their altruism knows no bounds.
They are close to being rid of the what used to be dems. The used to be dems will be in the rear view mirror. I agree that they will first go to democratic socialist them to socialist the. To either commie or some euphemism for it.
