Private industry has no allegiance to country, only to profit.

Maybe you should read Charles Darwin before commenting. It might make your writing more cogent.

THIS is what they teach you at your so-called seminary?

Well Paul DID say "if any among you will not work, neither should they eat."

So what?
Are we Christians or Paulines?

The song goes "I have decided to follow Jesus..." Doesn't say I've decided to follow Paul.

Sell-0ut Cain is full of elitist BS. Like any who think as he does, he's just scared he's gonna have to care about or God forbid, help someone less fortunate.
Hes just a plant to diffuse claims of Tea Party/Republican racism. Deal with it.

I've read his autobiography and TOOS. Survival of the fittest was a nonscientific metaphor he adopted from Spencer to describe inter-species competition within an environment. When was the last time you picked up his writings?

Some on the extreme left attempt the same thing with tea party protests, trying to paint them as racist for example.

But if you are going to side with your supposed team, in this case the conservative side, and try to say that all the super elite in control of banks and corporations are there and getting richer by honest hard work and that politicians tied to them are out for America's best interests then I think you are wrong. And those that are protesting wallstreet for that, I support. Doesn't mean I support a fringe communist party showing up at the rallies or someone who made a bad choice in college.


OK.

So what are you advocating?

What do you hope to achieve?

The solution would be to get a job.
