As conservatives, we shouldn't lack compassion for the plight of others. We can carefully and intelligently give foreign aid. Uncaring people give conservatives a bad name. The president has clearly shown that he has a heart. One day the world will come to acknowledge this.
As a white conservative I'm tired of paying the world's bills. The infrastructure of this country is in need. Our seniors in this country are in dire need of help. Our military is in need of this money. In this country alone in the last three decades we have given three trillion dollars and what has it got us, nothing. The same goes for Africa. Africa is a bottomless pit that can never be fixed, and if it can, why can't the people there fix it. This conservative remembers back to 35 years ago when I got out of the United States Air Force and applied for government jobs and was told to step aside for less qualified minorities. My coffers and my compassion have run empty for minorities.
BUMP THAT!
"Caring" = "Caring enough to spend other people's money."
The president has clearly shown that he has a heart.
Yup. And he's clearly shown that he has a wallet, too. MY wallet!
Government needs to get out of the charity business. Americans themselves are compassionate and have given millions of dollars to charity. Let private charities tackle the African AIDS problem, not the government.
We can carefully and intelligently give foreign aid.
Horse manure. The US gives billions of dollars to craphole, communist countries that don't deserve it. The bulk of foreign aid dollars always go to the corrupt governments who prop up their militaries rather than going for food and necessities for the people.
Uncaring people give conservatives a bad name.
Typical liberal statement. Like I said, American people are a generous people. There's simply no need for government foreign aid. None at all.
