Are Socialists Human Beings

Are socialists human beings?
Do they need food?
Are they capable of goodness?
Do they deserve to be tortured, starved, abandoned, beaten?
What makes a socialist cry?
It isn't sad movies -- or is it?

Why should I stop hating them?
I have the right to punish them, do I not?
Or do I?

When Mother Teresa found a Communist, starving, abandoned, beaten, she fed him, loved him, made him feel the hands of Christ, touching him through her hands.

When the SS found a Communist, they shot him, tortured him, starved him, gassed him

When the Communists found a Jew, they tortured him, starved him, took his property, made certain he was strung up as an example, that people do not have the right to own their own property.

When Gandhi found that Hindus were murdering Muslims and Muslims were murdering Hindus, he fasted publicly until they stopped.

Whose example do you prefer?
Mother Teresa's, or Stalin's
That of Gandhi, or the SS?
That of Christ?

I have the right to shoot every Democrat who angers me -- or DO I?

I have the right to impeach every Republican for being Republican, to loot his store, to force him to perform abortions, to punish him...

Somewhere in Africa, a father drove nails through the knees of his teenage son
For converting to Christianity.

I am hatred.
I am anger.
I am violence.

Whose example do you prefer?
Christ's?

Or mine?

This is where we save ourselves,
Or destroy ourselves.

'Let Brotherhood, Peace and Progress become landmarks of attainment', it has been written.

Well?

Which do we prefer?

It's a question to ask yourself every day.
When I win, I make the whole world bleed,
And I LAUGH!

Not such a nice fellow am I.
