Evil Conservative that I am....
or is it just that I’ve had it up to here with primitive, uncivilized behavior?

I’m getting really, really tired of hearing about how it’s the Great Santa Satan’s responsibility to rescue the entirety of South Asia from their tsunami woes. That we “should” make them whole. That we’re stingy. That Bush caused it by not signing that useless piece of chicanery, the Kyoto Treaty. That it’s God’s punishment.
Piles and piles of magical thinking from the mouths of ignorant, irresponsible, hateful fools. Oh, the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth. Pfaff.
How much help did any of them offer us during our recent spate of hurricanes? Sure—they don’t have much, they can’t do much—but did they even offer? Did they stand up like adults and lend a hand to people in a crisis? I didn’t see it.
I don’t hear anyone calling Denmark “stingy.” Or France. Or the House of Saud, Lybia, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, or Syria. But when Israel steps up to the plate and offers help, it’s thrown back in their face.
Then, to top it all off—*MY* money, taken by force, is being given to the biggest scam organization of all time. The antics pulled by this bunch would make any small-time mafioso blush at the petty shabbiness of it all—and my government *and* my dang Prezzy-dent are acting like this is a legit expenditure of *MY* money!! [not to mention *your* money...] Make Kofi and Son® fatter, pass some along to the goons in South Asia and let the rest of it—about 10% worth—rot on the docks because what little infrastructure there was is washed away. Reaaaal useful, fellas. Thanks again.
The only, sole, solitary reason I am not rioting in the streets about this, screaming “Fuggem—let Allah handle it!” is that the destruction of any and all social structure creates a fertile ground for Al Qaida recruitment. The loss of structure, the starvation, disease, pestilence and lack of an economy creates a rotten spot --like on a peach—that would spread. Both effect US and world stability. That’s the only reason I am willing to give them some sort of rebuilding hand.
As to flying our flag at half staff—entirely inappropriate. Dubya—that’s two Todd strikes this week. Rouse yourself, boy!
Ok—cut loose on me.
