		<description><![CDATA[Third, another way in which this is anti-Semitic:  what other countries does the USA have agreements with which allow for dual citizenship?  I don’t know, but I know there are several.  Are those who have, let’s say, Canadian/USA dual citizenship ever accused of having too much influence on US foreign policy?  Of favoring Canada?  Where is the list of those people?  In other words, it’s no accident that a particular group is singled out (because of underlying mistrust based on anti-Semitic stereotypes).

Hmmm..  Should we start believing the conspiracy?  Who can’t get their own faith straight?  Boy, if the media wasn’t so busy going after Palin…  Notice how George corrects him, rather than seizing on it.  To be honest, I don&#8217;t care if he is Muslim or Christian.  I just think he needs to get it straight.

		<description><![CDATA[In fact it can be strongly argued that forcing an individual by action of the government to give up a portion of their possessions to be given unjustly to another individual is in direct conflict with Christian principles. If I were to  pass a law that takes more taxes from what I consider a wealthy individual then give that money to the poor so that I don't need to pay as much in taxes, I would be guilty of both coveting my neighbor's possessions and theft. This is especially true if I am somehow the direct beneficiary or recipient of those social services.
