I've been stewing the last few days about the comment by that worthless Norwegian, UN diplomat who said that the United States was stingy. Yeah, I know he didn't call us by name but he did mention that we were a western nation that gave a given percentage of our GNP to charity. Only one nation fit that definition. That's like referring to me as a cripple who lives in Dunwoody, drives a light blue BMW Z3, and used to work for a company named TCIDNN (The Company I Dare Not Name whose name will be revealed shortly. Honest! Maybe I should change it to TCWNIWRSH - The Company Whose Name I Will Reveal Soon Honest)
This kinda shit really pisses me off since we are the most giving country in the history of this planet. I will bet that by the time this is over between gummint giving and private giving the United States will have given over a billion dollars to help people in the region, and that's not even counting the expense of sending a carrier group to facilitate the delivery of food, medicine, and other relief supplies. Do you know how much it costs to support a carrier group?
I've got a few words for the people in this area.
Sri Lanka - You told the Israelis who had plane loads of relief materials to stay home. Fuck you! You obviously don't need any help.
To the booger eatin' moh-ron in Indonesia wearing the bin Laden t-shirt. Fuck you. Where is your buddy now? He's real good at killing people, but who is coming to save your worthless Muslim ass? That's right: it's the infidels from the Great Satan.
Oh. I forgot. According to Senator Patty Murray (Moonbat Party, Washington) Osama bin Laden has ben building roads hospitals and day care centers. So I guess you ungrateful assholes in Indonesia don't need our help after all. Bin Laden will provide.
As I said, I predict the United States alone will donate over one billion dollars. I'm willing to bet that will excede the total of what the oil ticks in the Mideast will give. I'm willing to bet that it will exceed the total of what all the Muslim countries will donate.
They held a telethon in Saudi Arabia for the tsunami victims. It didn't raise as much money as the telethon for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. That just shows that Muslims are more interested in killing Jews than they are in relief efforts. This is ironic since one of the Five Pillars of Islam is charity. It's also ironic because infidels from the Great Satan are gonna provide more charity than the entire Muslim world combined. How many Muslims are there in the world? One billion? The United States has 290 million citizens.
Yep! The world hates us until they need sumpin'. We had to bail out Europe in two world wars. Then after WWII we had to pay to rebuild Europe. Most imperialists exact tribute from their conquests. We pay to rebuild them and then we protect them as we did from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Who picked up the tab for that? We did while the European nations trotted merrily down the path to socialism.
When we asked for help in our fight against terrorism, reliable allies like England and Australia joined our fight. France and Germany obstructed us. So much for gratitude.
We're gonna see the same thing in Indonesia. We're gonna give 'em our hard earned money, but when there is another terrorist attack on our soil they will be out dancing in the streets. Lennon and McCartney said it: Money Can't Buy Me Love.
Yep! They hate us but they're willing to take our money. And we're willing to give it because we are the good guys. We react to natural disasters with compassion even for our enemies.
So I'm sick of hearing a corrupt UN official call us stingy. I've got an idea. Why don't we take the money we use to support the United Nations (We provide almost 1/4 of the UN's budget) and use that for the tsunami victims? Or howza 'bout the 2 billion dollars a year we send to Egypt to keep them from fighting with Israel? Assholes!
We are the most giving, caring, and compassionate country this planet has ever seen and we will continue to be that way. No matter how much the world hates us, we are always there and we will continue to be there.
That is what it means to be the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of this planet..

Posted by: Pharaoh on January 11, 2005 04:31 AMIt is easy for those peacenik countries like Norway, Netherlands etc to give 2% of their GDP for releif efforts, because we are spending 5% of ours on THEIR DEFENSE!!! If they had to spend $$ on things like tanks, guns, planes to keep the Soviets from rolling over their asses during the Cold War, they wouldn't have any left to give the the poor UBL's over in Indonesia. Give me a break. Stingy? Stingy would be pulling all our defense aid and nuke shield from Western Europe.
Posted by: Al C. on January 11, 2005 08:23 AMWhy in the hell do we still have boots on the ground in parts of Europe??? I don't have any issue with having any of our troops that are in the UK or Italy, but we need to get the hell outta Germany & Spain (I could be wrong, but I think we still have some aircraft stationed there), let the Euros handle NATO (taking bets on how many days before that organization would fold after we pulled out) and basically just let the EU fend for itself. If one of the 'new' European nations like Poland or Bulgaria want to host a US military force, that's OK by me, but for the rest of the ingrates, let them deal with their own defenses!
Posted by: Clutch on January 11, 2005 08:52 AMWe need to make it uncomfortable for folk to say bad things about us. At the very least, a system to keep them from entering our country or benefiting from any of our programs. Ultimately, where the official policy of a country is anti-American, cut them off at the pockets.
Posted by: Walter E. Wallis on January 11, 2005 11:53 AMScrew 'em. I ain't sending any money. Stupid fuckers lived on the beach, they should of known it could happen. (Didn't the liberals say that about Florida?)

More like 3% or so, but point made.
Here is a list of European nations and their spending.
Denny,
...but who is coming to save your worthless Muslim ass?
The problem with such Euro-socialist types as the Norwegian UN bureaucrat and third world members of the UN is loss of control. The Euros want US money and effort channeled through the UN so that their global influence is enhanced and they can skim off some of the revenue for their local folk. The third world "fiefdoms" just want to skim the money. As members of "The Club", they are under the delusion that they already have global influence even though their focus is strictly local.
None of these clowns can get their arms around the idea that the very strength of charity effort in the US is that massive non-government aid is expected, is always offered willingly, and is awarded by the givers who determine for themselves when, where, how, and for whom the aid is justified. These same givers have a marked tendency to ask for a greater level of accountability for their aid than the corrupt bureacracy in the UN.
Defund the UN! Now!

Now, in a shameless blog self promotion I have some comments on the Cali ban of the civilian .50 rifle and the NRA absence in the matter at http://www.sizzlelog.com/
