Quote of the Week: Apologies for Dr. Mengele/Obama Health Adviser Comparison

The president is not "Lucifer," a fictitious character invented long ago by Scripture writers. They created him to torture "their enemies." Pres. Obama knows we've had tax-paid "socialized medicine" for the military, a long time. (When the government uses taxes to pay for a service, then it's a "socialistic" project.) WW Vets became middle class because taxes paid for the socialistic GI Housing Bill & GI Education Bill. Religion is illegally subsidized by taxpayers. How? We pay more when churches keep money by having their income & property be exempt from full taxation. As they grow older & need false teeth & wheelchairs & organ transplants, some young anti-Obama commentators will change their minds. When women are forced to go without prenatal care or are denied abortions & motherhood cripples them, taxpayers are drawn into it later. I've worked since 1941. I bought my first home in 1950. Since then, my income & real estate taxes have been higher because churches do not pay their fair share into public treasuries. I've owned 7 homes & 6 rentals, and paid higher taxes on all of them, due to religious tax cheating. Many churches own hospitals & they object to tax-paid abortion.

My computer name is there to ID me, not for other commentators to use my name as if they know me. I have to use "Nigel" to ID him, but I'm responding to his comment, not to him as a person. Several religious males, usually homophobic & anti-socialist, have used my name, asking me to stop using freedom of speech. Their compulsion to censor proves they're not fit to live in the USA, based on the Constitution. When I said I defend the Constitution with special force, because my mother's family is related to Founder James Wilson, a commentator cited his religious background, an unrelated subject. If a miracle happens, and the wafer & wine do turn to flesh and blood, there are going to be some very disgusted people, saying "Yuck!" and spitting it out. Arguments AGAINST religion are so strong and valid, that when delicate believers can't stand to even think about them. then here come censorious commands for me to leave or die. They're more like curses. A lot of Scripture is cursing... God against Jews, & atheists, and in Leviticus, against homosexuals. Maybe it's "Monkey See, Monkey Do."

Land mentions "the unborn," so I assume he's a Prolifer who says abortion is a "sin" and is "murder." Catholic Hitler's GENERAL PLAN was to "create lebensraum" for overbreeding Catholics. The Catholic Church still says abortion is a sin, punished by Hellfire. For a very long time, Catholics in Europe had big families, for fear of excommunication & Hell. Hitler continued to ban abortion for everyone except Jews--a fact to remember. To make room for Nazi officials, Hitler emptied mental hospitals & the SS moved in. The evacuation has been blamed ONLY on anti-Semitism but real estate was involved. Many Third Reich leaders were Catholic like Hitler: Mengele, Himmler, Eichmann, Goebbels, etc. Mengele was given facilities & access to victims. He was a "quack scientist" whose egotism drove him to commit horrible "experiments." He was a psychopath, a sadist, getting great sexual pleasure from causing pain. Land exhibits the kind of ignorance that makes religion so harmful. Congress tries to create a tax-subsidized health plan, but the phrase "socialized medicine" is a hindrance. But our military has tax-paid medical care. That IS "socialized medicine. Include us all, and that's the answer.

I'm not surprise that a person who claims to have association with Christ will oppose a measure to give health care to all Americans. Religion has always been on the wrong side of social justice.And they wonder why atheist think religion is make believe. These religious leaders invest heavily in the health care system in this country and Obama initiative threaten their income.The health care system he support is Mangele and he is reaping benefits from its diabolical action.
