(Part 4/10) 2008 Presidential Forum at Saddleback Church

Also- Does anyone know if Rev. Rick Warren is related to Rev. Jerry Falwell? I really think he looks similar to Falwell when he was younger.

I think Rev. Warren did a pretty good job of leading a fair and non-bias Presidential Forum. I wonder if many of those protesting his church about Resolution 8 remember this forum. At the time of this forum it probably helped Obama by giving Christians who where still undecided a chance to hear his views for themselves and realize that he was not this radical Liberal that many in the opposition wanted people to believe. It showed he was not someone to be afraid of.

Some people on the left are very deep and good at backing up their arguments. You're not one of them.

Ah, I see. He wants to make sure there is a balance in the wealth of our country.  Awesome. What's that called? Redistribution of wealth? Yeah, that's it. Whose idea was that? That Marx guy? Lenin, maybe?

So, if I start a business and do well for myself, worked really hard and succeeded in life, I will be punished by taxation for making over 250,000 per year. Doesn't matter how much I give benevolently to my neighbors through charities. I'll still be taxed into slavery.

Furthermore, the issue is not that the Federal Government doesn't have enough of our money, it is that they have too much. We are being forced to spend money on so many things the Constitution, which is not a living breathing document, never has allowed. The "general welfare" clause is always cited for these abuses of power. All one has to do is read the Federalist Papers and the writings of Jefferson to understand the intended purpose of this clause.

[tgatwood]

Cut spending, cut taxes. Pretty simple.

[dloverise]

and who do you give to?

[brassington2]

Off topic, but isnt his neck getting sore from holding at that angle the whole time? LOL

On topic, I believe Barr, which most of you prob never looked up, is a far better candidate than either Obama or Mcain. He has a youtube page, so if your for making a fair decision watch his videos and see if you agree with everything he says. I do, and Im sure most that listen to him would.

[MapHendren]

Go Obama! He said that if we like good schools and roads then we'd better not complain about taxes.

[behaack]

Interesting examples because both of those services are primarily within the domain of the state not the Federal government.
