Makes perfect sense to me. Our country can't afford what is going on with our own country, so lets send money to another country. Wait a minute....what?!

Great! Let's borrow the money from China and send it to Somalia.

I didn't know that when Obammy said spread the wealth, that he meant global wealth.

Dem view: We should keep throwing money in this direction because it makes us feel better while actually doing very little to actually help these people long term.

Repub view: We should police this area of the world, dethrone whatever totalitarian or authoritarian regime is in command, help these people rise up, teach them to take care of themselves, and improve their lot in the long term.

Dem response to Repub view: You Repubs only wanna make war, drive up the debt, police the world, and kill women and babies.

Repub response: A sad shake of the head with the understanding that Dems will very seldom change, almost never think about the long term consequences of their feel good actions, and will continue to, in ignorance, destroy everything they touch.

Somalia hates the US/UN anyway. Anyone remember how they were dragging dead US soldiers down the streets of Mogadishu!?!? Screw 'em, let 'em starve. None of our business.....

More bleeding heart liberal weenies wanting to care for the worlds poor, sick, and needy regardless of the impact on their own country.

We give far more to Israel. Let's see the Republican bigots in this thread advocate taking that funding away.

SS may not get to our retired workers in this country, maybe we should feed our elderly when they don't get their monthly check. That would make way too much sense.

Will everyone quit freking out. we were going to send 500 million before we had to do some budget cuts.

Denney Crane said...

I bet less than 10% of the $100 million will get to where it's supposed to go. Corrupt politicians will take the lions share. Rebels will commandeer the food and nothing will change, other than having well fed terrorists in Somalia...

But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
Jesus asked: “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

This just in- President Obama to give speech on the economy at 1 PM. I recommend selling your near worthless stocks oh, at about 1255 before they become completely worthless.

Why don't we feed our own starving people with borrowed money first. We treat our old folks like crap and then send money to countries that hate us.

Old Timer said...

10:30, Well, lets see. The republicans was wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare, which we working people pay for, so so much for your point of view of taking care of our people here at home. And what about your take on them Repub. taking down the foriegn heads> Look at Iraq. Bush took out Sadam and now the country is throwing in with Iran. Way nto go. You need to go back to the drawing board and come up with something that is truthful in your musing. Instead of just throwing out made up misinformation.

hmmm - Wonder why no one has responded to Rage's challenge....

Old Timer said...

11:59, How about them Democrats? Well at least they believe in helping people who need help. What has the Republicans ever done for you. They only take away from the poor and working class and give to the rich, which I doubt that you are one of them.

Send Rage over there, let em eat him...

wordkyle said...

1253 - Where do you get that Republicans want to "cut" SS and Medicare? Evidence to back up that claim, please. On the contrary, to take care of people here at home, Republicans are fighting to increase your take home pay. Democrats, on the other hand, are fighting tooth and nail to reduce take home pay by increasing income taxes.

1256- It's called ignoring a troll.

i feel for them but the money nor food will fully go towards this cause. strengthen yourself before you try to strengthen others. we keep doing crap like this then when we are broke they will really be screwed

l:29 Where do you get Republicans are fighting to increase your take home pay. Not true. They want the middle working class to pay the majority of taxes. Democrats and Obama want the wealthy to pay their share just like the middle class. As Obama said in his last speech - the secretary of some of the large corporations and oil companies pay more in taxes than the big company does.
I don't think you are in the wealthy group!!!

let them kids die. It's survival of the fittest. God's way of thinnin' out the population.This country is running low on common sense. I say bring our troops home quit giving aid to anyone other than ourselves and close our borders. That would be a start.

10:34 is dead on. Increase our debt to China so we can feed the world and in the process destroy our economy. By the way you liberals, where in hell do you think China is getting money to loan us?

We send jobs to China and put Americans on food stamps that are paid for by money borrowed from China. Now we want to borrow more money from China and feed Somalia. This is crazy. Get that man out of the Whitehouse. He is destroying us.

2:38 - Okay, slowwwwlly now... Which...party...wants...tax cuts? Which...party...wants...higher taxes?

How much more do you want the "wealthy" to pay? How much do you think they pay now? (Answer to the question: The top five percent of taxpayers earn less than 34% of all income, but pay nearly 60% of all taxes. The annual income cutoff point to be in that top 5%? $159,619. (Source.) What number is considered "fair?" The only answer Democrats have is more. Most millionaires in America are small business owners -- plumbers, dry cleaners, mechanics, etc, who have worked hard for a long time, lived within their means, and accumulated wealth.
Shall we punish them for their good habits?

1:29 - Please have full knowledge of a subject before you spew ignorance. It is better to be thought ignorant than to open ones mouth and prove it.

The top-earning 5 percent of taxpayers still paid far more than the bottom 95 percent. The top 5 percent earned 34.7 percent of the nation's adjusted gross income, but paid approximately 58.7 percent of federal individual income taxes. (http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html)
For the past few years, the IRS has also been presenting data on a small subset of the top 1 percent, the top 0.1 percent (the top 10 percent of the top 1 percent). In 2008, this top 0.1 percent filed 140,000 tax returns, reporting nearly 10 percent of all adjusted gross income earned and paying approximately 18.5 percent of the nation's federal individual income taxes. (http://www.taxfoundation.org/news/show/250.html)
I’m no math whiz, but it seems to me that the top 5.1% of Americans are paying 77.8% of the income taxes. Ironic, since we know that 47% of Americans paid NOTHING!
I have a novice idea. How about the pinheads in DC quit spending money that they do not have! They have borrowed from SS and Medicare to fund millions of these "feel good" projects. Both of these programs, which have taken money from all of us, cannot stand on their own any longer. Something has to be done to stop the bleeding!
As for your statement about the big CEO’s and companies not paying taxes, again I would urge you to do the research first, before you begin typing.
Currently, the average combined federal and state corporate tax rate in the U.S. is 39.3 percent, second among OECD countries to Japan's combined rate of 39.5 percent.1 Lowering the federal rate to 30.5 percent would only lower the U.S.'s ranking to fifth highest among industrialized countries.

LOL wordkyle. You do realize your talking to an idiot at 2:38, right?

Ok. Here is the answer to how we can save this country.

1. Don't give aid to ANY country.
2. Don't give aid/welfare to anyone in this country. That also means no SSI to kids who have lost a parent. Damn they get to ride that roller coaster until they are 18 or out of college.
3. No Social Security crap. Old folks just deal with it!
4. Knock the veterans off the hind tit of the U.S. Damn we pay a lot for their crap. They signed up to defend our country, they did their job. Once you are done get another job and start supporting yourself. NO MEDICAL BENEFITS EITHER.
5. Term limits for ALL POLITICIANS. Oh and once your job is over, get another job and start supporting yourself.

That ought to do it.

446 - I'm never for sure, but I go ahead and take the opportunity to put some actual information out there. The idea is to provide weapons to those who are on the ...ahem... correct side of the argument, to counteract the lies the pinheads tell.

Well rage, looks to me like this: We do give lots more to Israel. We get lots more for it as well. Three or four years ago we had to feed 2 million people in the last famine in Somalia. Thank god we saved so many people that time. Cause now we have to save 4 million this time. And the cool part is they just keep having 9 or 10 kids with no means to support them, have been unable to even organize themselves under any sort of viable government. Hell yes, let's buy into more of that.

Are you really that stupid, or is trolling just fun?

Two things come to mind whenever I see stories like this:

1) The old Sam Kinison bit that ends with "Move to where the food is is! You live in a desert!" It's so un-Christian but, damn, it's funny.

2) The old SNL bit with Phil Hartman as POTUS-elect Bill Clinton saying, "Jim, there's a lot of things we won't be telling Mrs. Clinton." and explaining Somalia's politics by taking bites out of people's Big Macs while saying "Warlords!"

Both bits were comedy gold. I now have good, old days syndrome. Thanks a lot, BG.
