Chomsky on Religion

The truth of the gospel as Chomsky sees it. If a self-confessed non-religious man sees the corruption of the gospel then I am having a hard time to see why the church cannot see that the gospel is not about what most Christians seems to believe.

Islam Cannot Survive in a Secular Society




If Islam cannot survive in secular society, then what is Islam doing in a secular society? Why live in a society in which it cannot survive?

Tax Double Standard Reasoning



Her reasoning why tax-cut for the rich is good and why tax-cut for the middle-class isn't good.

BACHMANN:[W]e’re pleased to see that we’re looking at a two percent reduction in the payroll tax, what we normally call the Social Security tax for employees. … What this will mean is a decrease in revenue for the Social Security Trust Fund. That will, again, add to the deficit going forward. So both of these measures that President Obama is proposing will actually have a cost towards increasing the deficit.

KELLY: Is it worth it to you though, to give the president the things that he’s asked for, like the extension of unemployment benefits, in order to preserve tax cuts for all Americans? [...]

BACHMANN: It’s curious to me that they say there’s a cost involved when people are allowed to keep their own money. And they’re talking about Americans being able to keep $700 billion of their own money. The cost is to the Treasury, but really it’s a cost out of the American peopeles’ pockets. So that’s a definition of terms.

The real cost will be in the outlay of unemployment benefits and in the reduction to the treasury in the Social Security taxes.
