I have a few questions to ask you, just out of curiousity. **DISCLAIMER: I'm not generalizing all of you. If the views I stated do not apply to you, do not respond.**

1. Your logic is against government funding for the homeless. Assuming that you went straight to college after high school and had family support, how do you feel about people without that? A person that grows up without the encouragement family. No one helps pay for his college, no one teaches him necessary life skills, he is basically set up to fail from an early age. You were encouraged, pushed and motivated by your well-to-do family. No wonder you go on to get your dream job of CEO.
The homeless man, on the other hand, is living in a tent. Can you honestly say that you don't give two sh*ts about this person's suffering, it's his own fault, and you aren't willing to pay taxes to help him? In a nutshell, all you care about is how he affects YOU? For Christians, what sense does this make? If you had been in even remotely difficult situations, you would have more sympathy.

2. As for illegal immigrants, caucasians originally took this land from the native americans. I wouldn't exactly call this legal, would you? Yet it's the only reason you are here. Explain this.

3. You are perfectly okay with the continuality of war and fighting, yet you are unaware that whatever problems we are facing globally, you are part of the cause! War is not what gives us our freedom anymore. We have freedom, our country is what it is and will remain that way. Yet you remain so guarded towards any external parties.

4. You fight and argue with an iron fist, unaware of how paradoxical your antics are.

If you don't mind, please answer honestly and be civilized.

They're just questions.

Your questions are dishonest and uncivil.

Do you actually believe you're going to get answers to these questions? You make a LOT of assumptions about Republicans in your 'questions' that aren't remotely true. Sorry, I'll pass on answering loaded questions that are nothing but veiled insults towards Republicans.

Why should we bother or waste our time helping to further on a liberal left-winger's obviously biased and totally inaccurate philosophy and agenda? Go pound sand.

2. As for illegal immigrants, caucasians originally took this land from the native americans. I wouldn't exactly call this legal, would you? Yet it's the only reason you are here. Explain this.I don't wish to wind up like native Americans living on a reservation. Excuse me for being xenophobic. I'm sure if the natives had it to do all over again xenophobia may have helped them

3. You are perfectly okay with the continuality of war and fighting, yet you are unaware that whatever problems we are facing globally, you are part of the cause! They have been lying to you. You want to see what happens when America has her nose out the Worlds affair? Take a look at the World Wars. War is not what gives us our freedom anymore.

Even though you phrased your questions more like accusations I will give you my honest answer to question #1. I have no problem with limited funding for a homeless, disadvantaged person for a period of time. I do not however feel the need to support said homeless person for the rest of their life. There are many people who have overcome a lousy start in life or a set back in their financial life.

I started this post. Start one of your own and ask me about my views. I have no problem clarifying.

How can you feel strongly about something you can't even defend?
Is post #17 not clear enough?

They're just questions.
1. Homeless people have homeless shelters as an option. However, most have mental illness, drug and alcohol problems, or a history of violence. There are rules at homeless shelters.

a. I am from a poor background and am wealthy
b. I paid for my college
c. my father did not give a damn about my education, as he was too busy drinking and working


2. We FOUGHT for America and defeated the Indians. The native Americans could have developed better weapons and tactics, thus saving thier land. Illegals can raise an army and attempt to
take the US.

EVERY nation has borders and immigration laws. Open borders provides chaos and financial consequences which no nation can endure.

As you are so concerned about the illegals, I would urge you to donate $200K to provide shelter, housing, food and education for ONE OF THEM. If not, you are a hypocrite.

3. I am opposed to US engaging in foreign wars. We should use regional assets to support our global interests.

4. What the heck are you talking about?
