Man I love it when I drive a liberal socialist to muttering absolute mindless shit. It's even more fun than making them type so angrily they hit the wrong keys!1!!1!
Okay, so now.... you admit we aren't being lied to, we actually do give the most money to foreign aid, but you claim this is just a slick political ploy... uhmmmm.... for what??? So that Indonesians will vote for Bush? So that Sumatrans will extend trade to the US? What fucking motivation do we have to give aid, other than we want to help? I contributed over $2500 last year to charity, I guess, because I am a Conservative Republican, I just wanted a tax write off, huh? Had nothing whatsoever to do with my desire to help the needy, did it? I love the way you just presume to know our motivations, even though you have no basis for your beliefs whatsoever.
The bottom line is this, the US gives and gives and gives, and we have done so for many years. Whenever there is a disaster, whenever there is a crisis, the US is there, ready and willing to help. Even when an earthquake hits Iran, we are there giving humanitarian aid to our worst enemies. Maybe that was so we could persuade Armordinnerjacket to let us open our embassy back up or something? There is literally no telling what you believe, with your twisted convoluted logic.
You're not kicking anyone's ass, and haven't been for years... the last ass-kicker you guys had was Margaret Thatcher. Before her, you'd have to go back to Winston Churchill to find a British ass kicker. You guys don't even know how to play football! If it weren't for the US Marines, you'd likely be goose-stepping around Buckingham Palace, and speaking German!
