I was not referring to Clinton's hookers, Barbara Bush's jewels from the Bin Lauden family that she will be wearing or the Bush Twins liquor and rock bands.
I was referring that I cannot understand 7 million dollars to take an oath. I am a Justice of the Peace here in the County I live in and I took a Political Oath on January 1, 2005 and it cost $5.00.
I also do not recall a Tsunami coming ashore 3 weeks before the Clinton Inauguration. I am saying these Tsunami victims could certainly use at least 5 million more dollars for food. That would leave 2 million dollars for Bush to say "I will".
I resent being forced to provide welfare to foreigners who hate the U.S. and would never help the U.S., ever.

Yes. The mideast is critical to our economy, and to the world's economy to which our economy is linked. If we had pulled out of the mideast and not invaded Iraq, sanctions would now be lifted and Saddam would reinstitute is WMD programs. He could secretly suppy WMD to terrorists to use against us and we would never know. Once we began to be hit with terrorist WMD attacks, he could again invade his neighbors, consolidate his power, and we could well have a nuclear war in the mideast - world depression. At best, terrorists would at least get stronger if we had not invaded Iraq, and could take over Saudi Arabia, and again provoke world depression. Our strongest weapon to achieve mideast stability and peace is to spread democracy in the area, and invasion of Iraq was a first step.

People who donate are jerks - makes then feel loving and good and self-righteous. This feeling lasts for a litte while. I would rather do something for my family, friends, or nation.

quote:Nonsense! Idealistic liberalism. We help other people all the time and they hate us in return. The US is the most generous nation in the world and others would turn their back if we needed help, unless there is somehing in it for themselves.

quote:The others are mostly parasites - taking help without giving anything back to the giver or their nation, or worse yet, using the help to better rob or exploit you or your nation. Thus, much helping only drains the helper's resources or even encourages evil (more parasitic behavior) in those helped.

quote:You got that right. Liberals sell out to the parasitic poor while conservatives sell out to business interests. Difference is that helping the poor to thrive and multiply only produces more poor to drag us down in the future, while helping business enables business to better compete in the world market which raises our future standard of living relative to that of other nations. A greater number derives a greated benefit with conservative leadership.
