This is also the underlining principle that creates disdain for socialism. Charity should be done out of the kindness of ones heart, one should not be forced into being charitable. Unfortunately this authentic charity doesn't happen on a scale that really does much here in the US.isaac isak icekickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513301165452404952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632066603779000512.post-66811233128603167482008-10-19T09:14:00.001-07:002008-10-19T09:14:00.001-07:00by that i mean they use it as an insult.by that i mean they use it as an insult.Chris Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107791774450498377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632066603779000512.post-26757386421080397222008-10-19T09:14:00.000-07:002008-10-19T09:14:00.000-07:00@vincent.oh yes, very much so. republicans throw t...@<BR/>vincent.<BR/>oh yes, very much so. republicans throw the term 'socialist' around these days in the same way right wingers through the term 'communist' around during the cold war.Chris Almondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13107791774450498377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632066603779000512.post-40508881909107036172008-10-19T06:34:00.000-07:002008-10-19T06:34:00.000-07:00I think I heard this same thing on NPR.

It really made me feel sad to hear how the Republicans think Barak Obama is just wanting to take their money away (from the rich white people) and give them to the poor blacks. They don't want the black people to get their money. How racist can they be?cariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153546553284324873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632066603779000512.post-27883239868698223602008-10-19T02:07:00.000-07:002008-10-19T02:07:00.000-07:00Indeed.
