D&C LTE Debunking: Right wing Christian takes eyes off ball
More LTE fun:
Darwin isn’t the right source here
I found the March 19 column on Medicaid, “Spitzer health cuts hurt neediest,” quite ironic, as it started off with a quote by Charles Darwin, “If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin.” First, let me say that I disagree with the writer, despite the sad story of her son’s situation, based on the fact that New York is on the top of the list of most generous states in the country for Medicaid spending. It causes the situation where people flock to North Carolina if they want to work, but flock to New York if they want the best free care. Gov. Spitzer is correct to make New York more equitable in its distribution with other states.
What I find ironic is that the columnist quotes the author Charles Darwin on the topic of sin. This from a man who spent the better portion of his life trying to stick his finger in the eye of God, who by His own righteousness, created the standard by which sin is measured.

IRONDEQUOIT
Christians who insist on making Evolution an issue are taking their eyes off the ball. What did Christ say about Evolution? (crickets chirping) What did he say about the poor? Uh, pretty much what the Darwin quote says.
I’m still undecided about Spitzer’s healthcare plan, but come on, let’s not cloud the issue.
Have any of you RT-ers wrapped your heads around the plan? What’s your opinions on it?
With all the events in DC - AGs, Iraq, Bush going crazy…I haven’t paid one iota to Spitzers plan. My only information is based on the dueling radio and tv commercials which is meaningless
I’ve been wrapped up in many other issues… I’ll try to review it a bit this weekend.
