America’s wasteful irrational defense budget

This verse is, in a way, a reference to "SAINT PAUL'S JOKE" and explains why "'The Punch Line's A Killer'":
"If only they [Christians] had stood fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that was sent to them from their Lord, they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among them a party on the right course, but many of them follow a course that is evil" (Koran 5:66).
Remember alleged Christian were warned: [Matthew 24:6] "You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.…"  and this would be preceded by those who claim to be the Messiah, would bring about 'ungodly wars' alleged to be righteous  -- who is to lead the 'Army in White' of Revelation, which is the Jihad of the Koran -- and we are seeing that with the Terrorist leaders ... none of whom have the stones to proclaim themselves divine, though they do say their murderous ways are in accordance with the texts.

We could reference scriptures 'until the cows come home', but most who wave them neither read, nor understand what they say.
Comically, those in America who most proclaim adherence to a book which demands care for the sick, aged, and poor -- which demands that strangers in the nation be treated as natives -- are the first to violate those directions.  Moreover, warned that those who live by the military sword will die by it, they are the first to insist that the money collected in taxes be devoted to weapons of death.  Granted, they lie and say it is “self defense” – then use those weapons to go forth and murder world leaders and overthrow lawful governments.

Look at what America spends on its military – as compared to other nations – America is a nation that lives by and for the sword … were it a Christian nation, it would know that to live by the sword means you die by it.

 

Is America so much at risk?  Are nations swimming the Atlantic and Pacific to attack it?   Is the Russian boogie man that big a threat as to require ten times more than they spend be spent?  Is China – which provides America with so many consumer good, that big a military threat?  Is ISIS – which effectively has no economic base – that much of an Enemy that it is reaching the American shores?  ISIS which cannot even conquer Syria, and would still need to overcome Saudi Arabia, before it could be considered more than a criminal organization of murderers that gets its jollies spitting on the Koran and killing the Faithful on their way to prayer and shopping in the marketplaces?   Is America so afraid as to need a military budget that effectively forces it elderly, sick and poor to suffer?

THE MOST HARM TO MOST PEOPLE Right-wing Republican agenda promotes Hardship and Death over Life… and its wasteful military expenditures prove it.
