Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day. He was right on the UN tax bill but DEAD WRONG on proclaiming that poverty causes terrorism.

Also, I voted for Buchanan.

[swheats]

Yahoo, I feel like dancing.

Had you read the column, you would have understood that my comments are directed to gratefulwharffratt. I don't keep lists anymore.

[Howlin]

Your post is misdirected.

[swheats]

We do criticize him when he does wrong, the difference in our criticism isn't creating, I believe the estimate was 73 threads stating the same thing of how bad Bush screwed up. We state our concerns and move on. For all those, supposedly watchdogs out there, how many knew that Bush would have this issue before him of signing on or not giving the UN taxing authority? I didn't-our gazed was continually brought back to CFR or immigration; debating every nuance of (not the issues of the bill) but whether many would vote for him or not and why.

The immigration bill, after criticism remains still in the senate. On this one they, our Senators listened. On CFR, I hope he does sign the bill. One more issue the Democrats can't complain about. Our governing ability is still strong and if our individual rights have been infringed upon, someone with skills will challenge it.

[swheats]

A grateful bump. You have such a way with words. LOL

If the US is going to set up a fund and set the criteria for foreign aid, why do we need the UN at all?

Also, giving 5 billion more of my tax money for foreign aid is a global tax increase regardless of the taxing entity.

We can't get results from our own Dept. of Education and we give them more money too. Sometimes things are just changed around a little, like musical chairs.

[ClancyJ]

Yes we do need to know more. There is much to worry about when dealing with the rest of the world that hates us but loves our money. No matter what we do, we will have to worry about mobs, terrorists and the rest of that ilk. You see, they want to destroy us and others want this wonderful rich country we have however they have to get it. There are also those here in our country among us who want to convert it to a socialistic country and redistribute the wealth. There are always those that want what others have earned. It is easier to get it from the rich than to do the work to earn it themselves.

You had better re-read my post. It was #15.

[Lion's Cub]

Give away your money. Give away his money. Get your hands off MY money. I don't share your collective guilt complex.

[nopardons]

BRAVO ! Well and factually stated.

[nopardons]

Name me another president who has done this much to foil the UN's wishes and power grab .

Not even Ronald Reagan did .

[Buckeroo]

Our nation is not up for grabs... by any President. Bush did his duty of giving into the UN. And you are happy. I like it when you are happy.

[Verax]

Only true Liberals like yourselves could see a $5 Billion Dollar increase in foreign aid as a success! ROFL!

[Verax]

If I am going to Bash somebody, you can bet it WILL be these small-minded Bush Bashing Naysayers, and NOT our GREAT President who is literally battling the foreign enemies of America with one arm, and with the other arm he is battling the DOMESTIC enemies of America, slowly strangling that nest of vipers.

I think I heard Glory Halleluliah in the background!

What was that about battling domestic enemies?

The Department of Education would get the biggest percentage boost of any agency -- 11.5 percent -- if Bush's budget makes it through Congress. The proposed $44.6 billion education budget would triple the money available for literacy programs and boost federal spending on elementary and secondary schools.

[nopardons]

Bucky, try reading the article again; please. And yes, I am happy about his stance on this. Unlike most other FREEPERS, I've know about this, since it happened. I also knew that he isn't caving in to the Jesse Jacksonesque blackmail / " protection money " scam from Africa, and more particularly NEPAD.

There hasn't been one president, NOT ONE , since the UN began, that has so rejected a money grab from us. You bet I'm happy ! : - )

Oh, and just because aid ( money ) is " promised ", doesn't mean it's going anywhere . I am willing to bet ( figuratively, I do NOT gamble ) that Afghanistan gets a lot of that money, and it should ; once we get the al Qaeda shut down and out.

[nopardons]

Only a true CINO , like you, could see something well done, and trash it. Not to mention the fact, that you can't even manage a try at imagining where and for what that aid is going to go. Also, a promise, isn't written in blood; there are STRINGS attached. No tickee, no washee ... no do it OUR way, no money !

[Verax]

Lets be fair. I appreciate Bush's most recent UN stance. I'm glad. It is good.

But it's not enough. If BUSH were serious about the UN threat he would have used his influence with our "friend and neighbor" Mexico to stop Vincente Fox from speaking out in favor of a global UN Tax , or Canada from ratifying the ICC.

Talk is cheap! Actions speak louder... (ie, WTO, supercomputers for Chicoms, CFR, 11% budget increase for DOE)

As far as me being a CINO...please.
