(2,674 posts)30. They are hypocrites
They are all puffed up and bragging that they are Christians, and want everyone else to be like them, but they forget the teachings of Jesus. I posted recently on a subject where the court would not allow the state of Georgia to add a $5.00 surcharge to the Life line phones, a program for low income people. They hear Rush Limb. talking about lazy people getting "free phones", not realizing how important these phones are if you are disabled or sick as are so many of the disadvantaged people.
Just saw where a poor man who was dying of cancer was kicked out of a hospital in North Carolina because he wouldn't respond to questions. They sent him home in a taxi, but he was dead when the taxi reached his mother's house.
Unbelievable!
