The bottom line is that we're promising to pay MORE foreign aid

Are the people who were born in poor countries less human than you? Do they deserve to starve, die, and suffer disease, just because of where they happened to be born?

Certainly, we shouldn't just give handouts indefinitely, but it is only humane to help them help themselves. Bush is advocating a policy of teaching them how to fish and demanding results from the money given, not just throwing them fish, and that is a huge improvement over the previous leadership we had, and it is the right thing to do.

Just a reminder. The money you advocate giving away is not all yours to give. Some of it is mine. Lets make a deal; you give me my portion of this wealth redistribution from your wallet and donate twice your fair share to global charity and we'll both be happy. I'll not feel like I've been robbed of as much, and you will feel twice as "humane".

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.

Wow. You're a real live socialist. People in other countries deserve aid from our government which justifies spending tax revenues they haven't even collected yet by borrowing money that doesn't even exist yet.

"Oh, the starving poverty stricken children in _________ (fill in the blank). These heartless conservatives think they don't deserve our help."

That sounds so familiar coming from Kennedy and his pals. It sounds comical coming from what passes for a conservative in your party. It's just that you wouldn't refer to those of us who oppose giving away money we don't have as "conservatives". You'd have to call us "tinfoilers" or something else in order to maintain the illusion that you boys are the real conservatives.

This is wonderfully entertaining material for a Tuesday morning. Give me some more of it, young fellow.
