universe: Ok I wasn't focused on just religion and Christianity. Go back and look at the whole message. However as a Christian I do have many friends who do not go along with my Christian views and it has not gotten in the way of our friendships. I do not mandate they think like me and do love those who oppose my views. However the basis for my original message was the fact you cannot support anything or there are people who will attack you and label you as some bigot or other negative connotation. People should be free to express themselves without someone or group trying to automatically give you a negative label or try to silence you if they do not agree with you and that goes for everyone. In the United States we have freedom of speech and religion, etc. However sadly there are those factions who try to silence those who they disagree with and not allow for freedom of expression. I do agree that there are many abuses of the system. It hurts people who desperately need the help as there is less funding to go to those individuals. My wife and I are those who could use the extra assistance. I live off a fixed disability income of less than $1000 a month and my wife brings home about 1200 a month. We barely make it. If any emergencies arise we have to sacrifice something we need to cover it. We are denied medical assistance from Medicaid, though I was able to get my medicare premiums covered. We try apply for food stamps and they either deny us or the last time we were accepted we got 16 dollars a month. What can one buy on that for 2 people? So yes the system is broken and the next president needs to reform it and get rid of the fraud and make those who have abused the system start paying the system back.
rod03801: I liked Rubio but thought policy wise Kasich was the most experienced with balancing the budget and in military affairs around the world. But I also knew it would take a major collapse for Trump to lose it. I do not trust Hillary and Bernie wants to take everyone's money and redistribute it equally after the government pays off everything. By that time everyone will be in the poorhouse.
You know what is really screwing up the balance of society is this PC garbage. It has gotten to a point where you can't express a view on anything without backlash and someone trying to silence it. IF you are against Gay or lesbian marriage you are a bigot or homophobe. If you express your faith publicly people try to label you a zealot and say it is inappropriate to express it. If you are for or against a candidate you get a label of some kind. I know this goes on both on the right and the left. However why is it more so on the left that when they hear a point of view they disagree with, they try to squash it with protests and violent behavior. I thought liberals were for free speech. I guess it is only true if it is speech they want to hear, otherwise you must keep quiet. You know why Trump won the GOP nomination? It is because he is different from the establishment and people are looking for something different. Also the anti-trump people and their poor behavior against him and the supporters drives the undecided voters into his corner. This PC garbage needs to stop as it is ruining this world. Any other thoughts?
