I hate seeing people who say whatever it takes to get THEM what THEY want.  Let us examine a few of Mr. Biden’s latest ideas, comments and bold pronouncements.

Sen. Joseph Biden has said paying higher taxes is a matter of patriotism as he recently defended Sen. Barack Obama’s plan to raise taxes on higher incomes, saying: “It’s time to be patriotic … time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to get America out of the rut.”

Senator Biden, do you not realize that the people who have jobs can attribute that directly to the people you’re bashing?  The very people you consider unpatriotic because they have made money in their lives by producing products and jobs in our country, are the reason we can collect taxes.  Further they top 15% pay almost 50% of the collected taxes…AND still run business’ and produce jobs.

Senator Biden now offered a religious basis for his fiscally irresponsible, tax raising ideas. The senator told a group of union workers last week: “Catholic social doctrine as I was taught is: You take care of people who need help the most.”  Gosh that sounds all sweet and nice.

True, the New Testament teaches that we are to help the poor but also teaches that God’s people will not be beggars.  Let me provide an actual Biblical quotation for my position Senator.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.  (11) For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a lazy manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.  (12) Now those who are such, we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

But we are to help those in need, not those who have decided to sit on their butts and let people give them what they THINK they deserve or what Reverend J. Wright tells them they deserve.  I’m glad Senator Biden thinks people should get off their butts and give MORE though since that is the “patriotic” thing to do.  I’m sure a man making those accusations has a history of digging deep.

Many Catholics, evangelicals, and non-Christians alike dig deep into their own pockets to fund non-profit organizations doing effective work on local levels. Others look to the government to dole out help to people in need. Some embrace a mixture of both.  But wait, Senator Biden’s personal tax records indicate the senator may rely heavily on government-based solutions because the record shows Senator Biden and his wife have reported contributing on average about $380 to charity annually over a 10 year period—about 0.2 percent of their income.

Senator Biden, you are a hypocrite and a liar with no Biblical knowledge and a gaping hole where your Common Sense should reside.  Be gone with you and never darken our door with your wasteful breath again.  I have had enough of these blow hards.

I really wish I were kidding!

Here’s the letter they sent:

September 23, 2008

Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, Cofounders

Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc.

Dear Mr. Cohen and Mr. Greenfield,

On behalf of PETA and our more than 2 million members and supporters, I’d like to bring your attention to an innovative new idea from Switzerland that would bring a unique twist to Ben and Jerry’s.

Storchen restaurant is set to unveil a menu that includes soups, stews, and sauces made with at least 75 percent breast milk procured from human donors who are paid in exchange for their milk. If Ben and Jerry’s replaced the cow’s milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers-and cows-would reap the benefits.

Using cow’s milk for your ice cream is a hazard to your customer’s health. Dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies, constipation, obesity, and prostate and ovarian cancer. The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, America’s leading authority on child care, spoke out against feeding cow’s milk to children, saying it may play a role in anemia, allergies, and juvenile diabetes and in the long term, will set kids up for obesity and heart disease-America’s number one cause of death.

Animals will also benefit from the switch to breast milk. Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months. After several years of living in filthy conditions and being forced to produce 10 times more milk than they would naturally, their exhausted bodies are turned into hamburgers or ground up for soup.

And of course, the veal industry could not survive without the dairy industry. Because male calves can’t produce milk, dairy farmers take them from their mothers immediately after birth and sell them to veal farms, where they endure 14 to17 weeks of torment chained inside a crate so small that they can’t even turn around.

The breast is best! Won’t you give cows and their babies a break and our health a boost by switching from cow’s milk to breast milk in Ben and Jerry’s ice cream?Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Tracy ReimanExecutive Vice President

Here’s a news video on the issue!

And for PETA’s amazing lack of Common Sense here they are totally deserving if an Illogical Thought Award! Congratulations PETA!
