This screed offers the wholly distilled talking points as propagated by the far left commissars. It' fun to see so many already hackneyed expressions used in a single C- (at best) all-nighter. He received the C- because he forgot to use the one about, If we can send a man to the moon...
Just the blubbering of a PEST. Still not "over it".
"What does it say about a president who spends more than $150 billion of our tax money to invade and occupy Iraq, but pledges only $35 million to help millions of people in Asia suffering from one of the worst natural disasters in recorded history? "
It says that he's smart enough to recognize a real threat to our way of life coming our way from the Middle East, and wise enough to know that charity is NOT government's primary function. He is protecting our private sector so that it will be able to continue to provide most of the assistance that the third world receives, rather than allowing it to be returned to the dark ages under the heel of a blood-thirsty moon-god.
Values, huh?
What does it say about a man who advocates using the government to expropriate money from hard-working Americans to turn it over to someone else?
My momma and daddy taught me that taking something to belongs to someone else is called "stealing."
If those hard-working Americans wish to give some of their money to the victims of the Asian tragedy, they can do so themselves... through private charity. They don't need to have the money taken from them by force.
That sucks!
LOL!
"who waits three days"
Hmmmm? I thought it was Kofi who was skiing for 3 days - while the President was organizing Australia, Japan and India for a relief effort. And .. it was President Bush who WAS THE FIRST ONE TO CALL AND OFFER AID TO INDONESIA .. and I do believe the head of Indonesia has said so publically several times.
You're right .. this is just the usual drivel from the left - no bother to check out the facts - just spew the talking points.
This post is in desperate need of a MORON alert in the header.
It's hard to accept that somebody this dumb could actually earn a paycheck from a university. The only conclusion that I can come to is that the university administrators are dumber than Zirpoli.
But, someone, have a care for our kids who are going to be put into the care of nitwits like this for "educational" purposes. Good grief!
The President does not hold the nation's purse strings, Congress does. The President cannot simply unilateraly allocate funds to this disaster. In fact, I understand the $350 million he did pledge was the entire amount previously appropriated by Congress in the budget for all emergency relief (including domestic tornados, hurricanes and earthquakes.) His initial pledges of $15,000 then $35,000 must have been allocations they originally found that could be unsed for foreign relief purposes. I understand that the President's pledge has now been approved by the newly covened Congress.
Detractors of the President's actions lack a fundamental understanding of how our governmental system works.
35 million is a hellofalot more than I would have given. I'd a tossed them a quarter and said call some who cares.
Which is probably why I'm not president.
