What the hell has happened to America?
This was sent to me by a friend and blog reader, therefor no link, it’s just his gritty opinion, and I am sharing it just like I do my own, you see, I agree with this post, word for word!
Democrats and Republicans ‘different’ in name ONLY.
We read all the jokes and forward the good ones but I just wonder who will pass this one on. How about YOU sending it on, share it with YOUR email list, your friends and family, if you have enough ‘chutzpah’ to do so.
Someone please tell me what the Hell is wrong with all the people that run this country!
Both Democrats and Republicans say, “We’re broke” and can’t help our own seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless, Etc.?
Over the last several years our government has provided direct cash aid to:
Hamas - $351M, Libya - $1.45B, Egypt- $397M, Mexico - $622M, Russia - $380M, Haiti - $1.4B, Jordan - $463M, Kenya - $816M, Sudan - $870M, Nigeria- $456M, Uganda- $451M, The Congo- $359M, Ethiopia- $981M, Pakistan - $2B, South Africa - $566M, Senegal - $698M, Mozambique - $404M, Zambia - $331M, Kazakhstan - $304M, Iraq - $1.08B, Tanzania - $554M…
Literally Billions of Dollars to countries and organizations that still hate us!
Let me say it another way, we gave $14.993 BILLION to these people and they still dislike us. Would they hate us any MORE if we didn’t send money?
But on the other hand, our retired seniors, living on a ‘fixed income,’ receive NO aid, no cost of living increase in 2 years now!
Nor do they get any breaks, while our government and a great many religious organizations will pour Hundreds of Billions of dollars and tons of food into foreign countries!
Someone needs to explain to our political leaders that Charity begins AT HOME!
And another atrocity … We have untold numbers of adoptable American children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.
AMERICA: A country where we have Countless Homeless without shelter, Children going to bed hungry, Elderly going without needed medication and the Mentally ill without treatment — etc.
YET … They will have a ‘Benefit’ Show for the people of Haiti, on 12 TV Stations; showing ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents, clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. Now just Imagine if our own GOVERNMENT gave ‘US’ the same support they give to foreign countries.
One of the things at the top of Trump’s list: Waste!
Republicans are scared silly of him and worried their gravy train will be gone if they allow him to be elected! His opponents are already part of the problem and haven’t done anything about it, and won’t. Sad, isn’t it?
Shame on you as a Conservative American if this does not make you angry.
I encourage you to go out vote for the candidate you think best to get us out of this mess.
For me that would be Donald J. Trump.
As I look back I can’t help but believe that my own Mother was a Liberal at heart.
She used to lay these messed up *guilt trips* on us, for instance; “Think of all those poor starving kids in Africa” if we didn’t clean every bite off of the plate.
Even as a kid I was pretty quick to speak my mind and one time I told her, “Well, just put it in an envelope and mail it to them…”
She left a handprint on my face. 😳 My folks were really fond of corporal punishment.
But you see, I meant it then and I mean it now, as the post says, *charity begins at home* and I believe in taking care of Americans first and if you want to be some Libberpuke handing everything we have away to people that hate us, then YOU are the biggest problem we face today.
Send the little bastards YOUR food and money if you like but keep your hands OFF of MY tax dollars and stop using them to support those that would rather see us DEAD!
I had a friend who would go out of her way to make sure that those around her, with less than they needed, got a handout from her - clothes from Goodwill, food from the store, gas money from her own pocket.
And every week, she would ask her friends, those around her, if she could “borrow” some money for food, or gas …
If you don’t take care of your own needs first, you will not have the resources to help others at all.
The idea of a charitable gift to those in need sounds so noble but the government has no business deciding for us who to give our money to. Charity does begin at home. Giving money to muslim majority countries IS aiding and abetting the ENEMY!
I agree with Wayne! I DECIDE how much of MY money to give to charity-it is THEFT when the government takes it from me (tax) and gives it to another! (Redistribution of wealth…) Taxes are to provide SERVICES…(military, roads, police and fire, etc.)
Charities provide charity!
I’m going to put a biblical perspective on this in case someone says it’s not Christian to neglect those in need.
Nowhere in the New Testament of the Bible will you read where it’s the governments responsibility to take care of the poor and needy. It was always the responsibility of the families, synagogues (churches), and people through the giving of alms. If someone says differently, just ask them for chapter and verse because I would like to read it as I’ve read the New Testament and haven’t seen it.
What would Jesus do to the government offices today if he were physically here on earth at their desks? He would take whips and knock over the desks, calling the place a den of thieves. “Caesar” is supposed to manage the money properly, and bring us the goods and services we pay for, not to squander it on selfish things.
