Liberal politicians desperately want the electorate to believe that welfare legislation is a moral policy. But, I believe that their true intention is to “buy” votes. If you promise handouts to a group of voters, you are apt to create a “block vote.” Libs fend off any criticism of their proposed legislation by reminding critics of the Christian concept of giving; if the person claims to be a Christian and doesn’t support their views, that person is a hypocrite. This argument is suppose to disarm all attacks from the conservative-right.
The real hypocrisy lies in the fact that liberals insist on strict adherence to the concept of separation of church and state and, yet, will justify welfare by using the Biblical concept of giving to the needy. They have just crossed their own line. They are promoting a state supported program using Christ or the church as the authority.
Christians, on the other hand, actually comply with the Biblical concept by supporting charitable giving outside of governmental programs.
Welfare enslaves; Charity liberates. Welfare is forcibly taken from the giver-the taxpayer-and given to the recipient with few requirements. Charity is willingly offered by the giver and lovingly given to a needy person or family. It is without any governmental restrictions or additional involvement on the part of the giver or the recipient.
Charity cannot come through a government office; it must come directly and voluntarily through a person or private organization. Charity may or may not require behavior modifications or counseling in order to receive assistance. Charity may choose to remain anonymous or it may choose to become involved, something that remains the option of the giver.
