When I wrote the title to this post I didn’t even have to fact check first to know that these two buffoons would work stupendously for my subject matter. How do I know this? Well, in short, they are liberals, and liberals are manifestly the opposite of every “fruit of the Spirit” they claim to be such a shining example of.
Take for example part of B. Hussein Obama’s Inauguration Day speech:
“The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart – not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.”
Well forget talking about giving charitably…let’s just cut right to the chase and embrace Communism! Last time I checked, most people don’t care about the “common good” when it comes to making a living. Oh sure, here in America people who aren’t crazed liberals want everyone to do well, make a good living and have the things that they need to live and enjoy life. But as a general rule, Americans want to work and make a living for themselves without having to also have money taken from them to support “the common good” of perfectly capable people who want to sit at home drinking Mike’s Hard Lemonade and eating Twinkies all day.
In other words, we want to be left ALONE to do our jobs and pay as few taxes as possible. We know how to give charitably; most of us do that every week. In the end, this is what makes America fiscally and morally rich along with strengthening our character.
But while we’re on the subject of giving charitably, here are the tax returns of the multi-millionaire Obama family and the percentage of what they gave to charity from the years 2000-2006, and here’s the link if you need further proof:

2000 – 1%
2001 – .5% (yes, that is a decimal before the 5)
2002 – .4% (yep, again there too!)
2003 – 1.4%
2004 – 1.2 %
2005 – 4.7%
2006 – 6.1% (notice how the number drastically goes up this year…nearing election, can it be?)
I’m sure the poor and needy of the Chicago area could have put some of that money to good use for things like…oh I don’t know, feeding people and providing care for those who are too sick and disabled to care for themselves.
But I’m sure he’s perfectly satisfied to have his tax dollars going to public school liberal brainwashing and government funded “saline application, fork in the brain, limb plucking” abortions. Hey, it’s the charitable thing to do! Why do more than you have to, right?
(I say that with all due respect to the innocent babies who are being heinously murdered every year, but awareness must be raised to the vileness of these “condoned” acts).
According to Joe “it’s time to start being patriotic” Biden’s tax returns as reported by the National Review Online, he gave a total of $3,690 to charity from 1998-2007 with an AGI of 2.4 million over that 10 year span. We’ll let Tim Geithner do the math on that one and tell us what the percentage of charitable giving is.
Now, juxtapose this with the charitable contributions of our former President Bush and Vice President Cheney.
During his presidency, Bush gave over 10% of his income each year to charity while Cheney gave over 77% of his income in 2005. Here’s the link to a website if you need further proof: http://philanthropy.com/news/updates/4378/bush-and-cheyney-disclose-details-of-their-2007-charitable-giving
Of course it all starts to make sense when you read what the liberal Bertrand Russell has to say about charitable donations: “I’m afraid you’ve got it wrong. We are socialists. We don’t pretend to be “Christians.”
And that’s our “altruistic” President Obama and gaffe laden sidekick Biden in a nutshell. What people can’t see is that they are pretending to be Christians when really they are socialists.
