They shared their wealth and according to the new testament there was a couple who were struck dead by lightening because they held back on some of their wealth. So spreading the wealth around was not a new idea. Jesus was a liberal, if was written about him was true. Monavis ---

> [@LouisB](#): > > If those real Americans who work hard and believe in God are defined as Republicans, then they are absolutely right: I do hate them (Republicans, that is) and everything they stand for and believe in. I’m fed up with their back-stabbing, two-faced, underhanded. lying, cheating ways and would like to see them transported to the North Pole naked. Can this be arranged or sometime fairly soon? Preferably prior to the polar bear (which might otherwise enjoy the new feast) being made extinct as a direct result of the policies of these idiots. ---

The admin has been discussing a new round of stimulus packages. I guess when the dems do it ,it is bad. Good when repubs do it. ---

I’m fed up with their back-stabbing, two-faced, underhanded. lying, cheating ways and would like to see them transported to the North Pole naked. We don’t want them. Well, maybe Sam Stone would put them all up, but otherwise, no. Have you considered the bottom of the Mariana Trench, or perhaps open space? ---

Now that I think of it, it would probably make more sense to sentence her to live in Vermont or something. ---

If you re-read my writing I said," they held back some of their wealth". They were not expected to give it all just a fair share. Thye needed something to live on for them selves. Monavis ---

You don’t need to defend Poly here - my take (as an atheist) on the New Testament is that this Jesus guy was definitely a radical leftie.
