"Which is the saddest commentary possible"

I fail to see how America's/American's willingness to help others here and abroad during catastrophe as "sad"

In fact, it is you who oppose such activity, that is sad.

Willingness to help others is one thing.......being forced to do so is an entirely different issue.

The willingness of individuals to help their neighbors is not the question, the force of government in deciding who gets the help and whose assets get used to provide that help is the issue. Your ability to morph the two, then somehow point to others with the "they are selfish" argument is what is sad. The fact that most of society seems to go along with you is sadder still.

Did you used to post to FR under the name "Cultural Jihad"? I'm getting some major-league deja vu about now.
