So you're saying that because lost out to unqualified people in your past, some poor soul in Africa should suffer? Giving to others doesn't make one less conservative.
First, insert the word "you" between because and lost that will make the sentence correct. Second, I don't give a damn about the people in Africa. Let the African Americans take care of them.
And how much of your OWN money have YOU ponied up for such "noble" causes? As I remarked to another poster who took a similar attitude to yours - am willing to bet you haven't given a damn cent! After all, you NEED your hard earned cash and those of us complaining about Bush's taxpayer generosity are evil and bad christians. Right?
No it doesn't. And it's actually what we should do. But foreign aid, all foreign aid, is wasteful and does not reach the intended subjects many times (not to mention not intended by the Framers). I have no problem with donating my money freely to help those in need in whatever nation, regardless of color, creed, sex, etc. However tax dollars should be spent in only a few ways. Running the government and national defense. That was how it was intended to be.
