Disgracing Race

Cor66Vette · 03-17-2013, 08:34 PM

As a family thing, I watch the "Amazing Race" with my sons on Sunday evening. This evening's episode comes to a point where the contestants are in Hanoi. Part of what these participants have to do is watch a show where these Vietnamese performers sing and dance, then they have do something or other with the words of the song. The song they're singing is translated on the bottom of the screen for the home audience to see.

It goes something like this ...

Socialism is great. We love socialism. It is coming slow but it is the best ... or some such bull****.

I can't believe, that with so many American soldiers still unaccounted for, that an American production company would even look at Vietnam as a place to spend American dollars or even include in this "Disgracing Race".

I had to leave the room.

Obama's song......would it surprise you to know that $103,078,000.00 has earmarked for foreign aid to Viet Nam for 2013? I think we should have a say as to where our tax dollars go.

With so many American families hurting and out of work, and the fact that the USA is BORROWING money to pay it's bills, and this country is technically bankrupt, what the HELL are we doing sending free money to other countries for anyway?

It's no accident that the government grabbed and tied us up by the short hairs such that we are prepaying our taxes, and then have to petition the government to get back the excess that was taken from us.

Well, It appears that Obama is all about equality. I guess that means he'll give away all our money so we'll be equal to the third world countries we are now supporting. I honestly don't understand WHAT this is all about. It makes no sense to give money away just to borrow it back....But I'M PISSED about it!

It amazes me that we give money away, at the same time cutting the benefits of our active duty military.
Seems the big dog politicians are the only ones getting raises and better beanies.

Yeah, I love hearing them talking about how WE have to sacrifice with increased taxes and other hardships because they overspent the budget. Ever hear any of them volunteering to do any sacrificing themselves? Reducing their staff, taking less salary, or reducing their comfort zone in any appreciable amount?

No, not likely......

They just cannot seem to get it through their heads that the way to balance the budget is by simply to stop spending more money than is coming in. If they do come around to cutting spending, they invariably pick things to cut that will cause as much hardship to as many people as possible rather than cutting out their own pet projects.

And they are apparently answerable to no one for their malfeasance.

HI Jack, warning Hi Jack. We should pay NO ONE to "like us". Quit giving the military weapons and ammo to those chuckleheads We will never buy their friendships and who the hell wants um anyway? Use out weapons, dollars and just a bit of thought to build our country. OH and did I say If you havent always be

en our friends then F**K you. Eneough of spending this **** on th Muslem Brotherhood

Again, we are borrowing money from China to pay for giving these weapons and materials away to other countries. That is just complete and TOTAL nonsense. This isn't just taking money from our taxes to do this sort of crap, it is taking money from future generations to do so. Some people in Washington D.C. need to grow brains and figure out that we just CANNOT afford to do this.

The people in those countries hate the USA anyway, so why give them the means and methods to express that hate and use those weapons against us at some later date?

Quite frankly, the people voting to engage in this sort of practice should be charged with treason as well as malfeasance.
