Lets not forget that many times its in the US's interest to help countries. So then it can count on them as an "ally" and not commiserate with governments we consider hostile. It all comes down to money and power, democrats AND republicans. And that whole liberal media shit is hilarious, Im sorry. We've deposed out fair share of democratically elected officials to suit our interests, so all this "spread the democracy" horseshit is an insult.

        I'm not going to shit on one of your points b/c I can make a case for it.

        But i think that the liberal media does exist... or if not "liberal" it is tainted in some way.... but I'd say more left than right (and we're not going to go into it... it's just MY opinion...)

          I'm not aware of these comments, but it doesn't seem logical for her to be racist considering that most of her constituency and fanbase consists of young adult and middle aged white women.

                  The lord doesn't work that way, cause if he/she did, most of us on here would be the first ones to be smote.

                    But the difference is that many African governments are so corrupt that the residents have no choice when it comes to being poor. Unlike in third-world countries , the homeless people in the US are that way as a result of the choices that they made.

                      That is exactly how she fucked up. I will dig up the clips and pass them along. I would like to hear your input Terr.

                            Its not always about the choices they made, not everyone comes from a well to do home or good family life, I feel even if they made these choices they deserve to be helped first since they our on our own soil. Who are we to go trim the neighbors yard, but leave our looking like shit with cars up on blocks...to me its a little hypocrtical to do that.

                            I cannot believe how cold people can be to those in our own country yet want to give everything to those that flip us off as soon as we turn our backs.

                              That is COMPLETE bullshit and a total copout. You don't know that, and you haven't talked to those people. There are a myriad of circumstances that cause people to become homeless.

                                And on the flip side, in this great country, they have more opportunities than ever to get back on their feet (for the most part). Standing on a street corner is not one of them.
