An Absurd Comparison

This idiotic screed compares President Trump to Stalin and Ceausescu:

I think the real issue with the VA is this - should it be run by a medical doctor or a bureaucrat? Caring for wounded warriors should be near the top of the list of our military priorities. If we think we cannot afford to do that any more, then it's time to stop sending them overseas to get wounded and maimed in the first place.

Let's recall and ponder the words of Abraham Lincoln:

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."

Here we are 153 years later, and that just and lasting peace still evades us. Whose fault is that? We are the ones who refuse to make peace. Why do we find it so difficult? And why do we tolerate the interference of war mongers like the Israelis who refuse to allow us to be at peace? Let them live out their Old Testament fantasies while we follow The Way given to us by Jesus Christ.
