Israel
This is what pisses me off about Republicans... 3 of 4 candidates said they would support NASA and CUT foreign aid... even in Israel... one of our biggest allies... because foreign countries have supposedly become "dependent" on our help... SCREW YOU you fucking selfish entitled pricks.   Israelis are NOT lazy and dependent on our help… their people are motivated and involved.  Every citizen of Israel, man and woman, serves 2 years in the army.  They know patriotism better than their counterparts here in the U.S.   They are not weak.   If you have the means to help the impoverished why in the hell wouldn't that be high on your list of priorities.  And don't talk to me about preserving our country first and foremost and saving it from debt… we got ourselves into this mess… does that mean we should repossess all of our assets and stop helping.  They argue that the nation is built on perseverance and the right to choose our own path… the right to freedom…  of equal opportunity… BUT  we don’t participate in foreign aid and we should completely pull out of the UN??  The Republicans are basically admitting, “we are a selfish people and would rather invest in being the first to colonize the moon than to be part of aid in suffering countries."   FUCK YOU STUPID ENTITLED ASS HOLES.   By comparison, the American people are NOT suffering.  We’ve lossed jobs and modern conveniences and yes the government needs some major organization and re-distribution of assets. BUT every 5 seconds, somewhere in the 3rd world, a child dies of hunger.  How is it moral, how are we a country of strength and means when we sit here, with our shopping malls and our space travel, and say “we’ve helped enough…” ??? It is a global world and we cannot pull out of the United Nations because we owe money to China… REEVALUATE you priorities, your morals, and your goddamn selves and figure this shit out.   Romney and Gingrich need to stop wasting our time arguing like teenage girls over non-issues.   Yes, everyone should have the right to practice their own religion.  I agree that basic morality often stems from religion.  But when Christians say "praying for the hungry is better than feeding them," I can't help but think that their priorities are majority skewed. No candidate should be a front-runner because of his dedication to the church but his dedication to HUMANITY... it's that simple.  
If this bothers you... you are still human. 

There should be MORE involvement by every single one of us.  Why do we pick up tabloids and ignore current events.  My generation (and even some before me) are lost… we are like smog… we are making no substantial arguments or changes and we don’t even have opinions… and if we do they are based on frivolity… we are just populating the earth and polluting the planet and not doing any good elsewhere.


3rd world countries have the resources that the 1st world countries have always striven to control.  How are they supposed to develop when, first they were colonized and controlled, and now wars are being waged over who can control their resources.  And when you think about it, we are directly responsibly for their lack of water.  Desertification, which is happening at the rate of 24,000 square miles a year or so (and which by the way is irreversible), is happening because we use precious water to water our damn lawns and give to our damn over abundance of livestock.  The lack of water in Sudan is caused by our sprinklers for fuck's sake.  3rd worlds are not so because they are LAZY, they are so because we (in the Global North) have oppressed them and over used their resources in every day life.  We are all guilty.  And we can never be released from unless we dedicate our lives to the cause and completely give up modern conveniences... (I know that I will probably never do so).  But at least we can be aware of our impact, make others aware, change small things in the way we live, and vote for a President who will not only want to improve America, but unite the world for a more humanitarian cause.  

Alright alright, I'm not necessarily a bleeding heart liberal.  There are some liberal opinions that I don't agree with because for me they are too optimistic in general about human nature.   I am and have always been, however, a humanitarian through and through.  Being considered a naive soap-boxer is better than ignoring everything that my heart body and soul screams to me when I watch these debates and compare them to the issues of other countries.  I just don't think there should be a child dying every 5 seconds of hunger when we have Costcos in every town.

I try not to claim allegiance to any political parties in general because their one-sided attitudes make me nervous and uncomfortable and seem to start unnecessary conflict.  I am more in favor of the Democratic party simply because of their position on foreign aid.   The world needs changing… not just the U.S.  If someone has the power to change the world it is the President of a world power.  Peace in the Middle East is based on the support and defense of Israel and it’s right to exist.   Not pulling out of the U.N. when money gets tight.  

I hope everyone I know will try to follow the debates and the issues.  I know it’s tough, especially when fickle hearted candidates are contradicting themselves by answering questions differently.  Our responsibility as Americans is not to frontier colonization of the moon  but to HUMANITY and the care of the less fortunate.  As such, let's pump some blood back into this economy and get running again so we can make changes.
