USSR stands for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The Republicans are calling democrats socialist so that sounds really bad. Do you know what a socialist is? One thing is for sure Trump and the Republicans don’t have a clue what socialism is all about, they just know it sounds bad. From the sound of this classic Beatles song socialism doesn’t sound that bad.
Did all this talk about Democrats being socialist start with Trump? No this started a long time ago. When Jimmy Carter was president one of his quotes was: “Many fervent pro-life activists do not extend their concern to the baby who is born and are least likely to support benevolent programs that they consider to be socialist”. This whole idea of giving anything to the poor as socialism goes back a long time Trump has picked up on this and now all you hear is how democrats are really socialist. The biggest benevolent program that was implemented during the Carter Administration was Women, infants, and children know as WIC . I copied this from it’s website:
WIC (Women Infants, & Children) is a supplemental nutrition program for babies, children under the age of 5, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and women who have had a baby in the last 6 months. The Federal Government supplies the money to the states and it’s the states that runs the program. If you want to see what is covered in your state just go to your local grocery store and you will see, if you look for it, there’s a small yellow tag that says “WIC approved”. Members of my family have been helped greatly by WIC. Millions of poor women their babies and their children have depended on WIC. It’s programs like WIC that Makes America truly great! But ask any of the 70% of white pastors who support Trump and they will tell how bad of a president this born again Christian man was and WIC is socialism. This brings me to another famous Jimmy Carter quote “If you don’t want your tax dollars to help the poor, then STOP saying that you want a country based on Christian values, BECAUSE YOU DON’T!” This reminds me on all the Face Book posts where they will say Life begins at conception and my tax dollars is not paying for one abortion. But they also say that their tax dollars are not going to pay for diapers, formula, juice, and all the other things that WIC pays for. It seems their slogan should be Life begins at conception Love ends at birth. What kind of Christian values do these 70% of white pastors have? By what their calling socialism; is Jesus a socialist? Well let’s look at some scripture and find out.
Mark 10 17-22 17. And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal Life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery; Do not kill; Do not steal; Do not bear false witness; Defraud not; Honor thy father and mother. 20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21 Then Jesus, beholding him, loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest; go thy way, sell whatever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.
Jesus told him to sell everything he had and give it to who? THE POOR. One thing we learn from this scripture is that Jesus, without a doubt, is NOT a republican. Republicans do not believe in giving anything to the poor, they hate the poor and blame the poor for most of the problems in the US. The Republicans would say “we don’t hate the poor we just don’t want to spend all of our money on them”. Wait that didn’t sound right. We believe we shouldn’t spend so much money on the poor rich people need money too. Well maybe I shouldn’t guess what their answers would be, but one thing for sure they know Jesus is wrong, selling all you have and giving it to the poor , by the Republican definition, is Socialism! Imagine No Possessions! If anybody out there knows any of these 70% of white pastors who support Trump ask one of them to explain away this scripture and how Jesus is not a socialist .
