Oh Senator McCain

McCain: Barack Obama wants to spread the wealth around!
[Crowd boos.]

Some say McCain should have been using this line from the beginning, that it would have helped his position. I have no doubt that it would have. Do you see a problem with this? I do.

What, exactly, is wrong with spreading the wealth around? This is music to my ears and to the ears of anyone who has half a brain. To me, McCain is helping Obama’s position. If I were in great need, I would really appreciate a little bit of someone else’s wealth. And if I have more than I need, I’m willing to give up some of it for someone else’s need. How sick is it (rather, it is a symptom of the sickness of our mindset) to disparage someone who wants to take what someone has no need of and give it to someone who needs it?

But nobody in charge sees it that way. If they do, they must keep it well hidden. Where have all the socialists gone?

WWJD....I think this is exactly what He would expect of us. Where have all the Christians gone? Maybe they have run away with the socialists?

The goal of Christianity, or rather, what is acceptable by it has changed. God helps those who help themselves: Christianity adapted to the American idealistic dream. That's where all the Christians have gone.
