Reblogged from The Christian Watershed: A long time ago in an ancient kingdom, the young peasant decided one day to go throw rocks at the king’s castle. As the young peasant was walking along the street with an angry look on his face, an old fellow with a big bushy mustache and a thick German … Continue reading
The past few years has brought about a consistent theme in American politics, which is that Democrats want to increase the taxes on the “rich” (though sometimes their definition of rich tends to include the middle class) while the Republicans are against any and all tax hikes, but have no problem taking away benefits from … Continue reading
