This post was probably one of the most disgusting I have ever read. I have highlighted the parts I find particularly reprehensible.

Socialism - An Evil Concept
Socialism is one of the great evil concepts because it represents robbing from everyone (including the rich) and giving to the poor. I have never seen any valid justification of robbing from everyone (including the rich) to give to the poor.
Socialism has wide public appeal because there is a feeling that someone is going to get something for nothing, but wide public rejection with the reality that some will receive and everyone else has to pay.
Socialist/Democrats want to imply the only way a person can become rich is by abusing the poor. Socialist/Democrats also define everyone as rich that is not poor. The Bible says there is great danger with being either rich or poor.
Proverbs 30:8-9 states, "Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain."
There certainly are those that became rich by taking advantage of the weaknesses of the poor by selling pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. to the poor, but I believe most people live comfortably by hard work, following the commandments/doctrines of the Bible and God's blessings.
There certainly are those that are poor because they have physical and mental limitations, but I believe most people that are poor, got to be poor because of their weakness for pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.
The concept of redistribution of wealth becomes just stealing unless there is a justification that everyone (including the rich) deserve to be robbed and the poor deserve to be given to.
Lots of people like the concept of Robin Hood who robbed from the evil rich and gave to the virtuous poor, but I worry that a lot was robbed and only a little ever got to the poor. I worry that the wealth redistribution (Socialism) of the Democrats really means robbing from the rich, stuffing their pockets, then if there is anything left, they give to the poor.
Giving to the poor is evil, if the money is used by the poor to continue to buy pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.
The purpose of repentance in the Bible is to cast off the old man (pornography, sex, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc.) and begin again (be reborn) with the old sins forgiven. If money is given to a person and they do not change their lifestyle, the money was wasted.
There are those that say they would rather see 100 evil poor people fed than to see one poor person starve to death, but feeding the 100 evil people leads to 200 evil people and sooner or later all die because there is no money to feed any, thus all starve to death.
The Bible says the wages of sin is death, and Socialism is not going to change that. The death may not be due to starvation, but it will come from AIDS, STDS, lung cancer, liver failure, etc. that are associated with an the unhealthy Atheistic Lifestyle.
The Bible advocates person charity. The Bible does not advocate Socialism.
The solution of the problem of both the rich, the poor an all those in between is not through Socialism, but rather by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord/Savior and committing to following the commandments/doctrines of the Bible.
Socialism is feeding a person for a day, but Christianity is teaching a person how to fish.
Socialism does more harm than good, thus the people of America would be best served if the government would get out of all Socialistic (Entitlement) programs.
Republicans have yet to prove to me that they totally support Christian principles, but democrats have proven they do "not" support Christian Principles.
