Unemployment is going on forever. WIC programs are forever.
Does anything good ever happen in your world while living in the US equivalent of paradise?
Jrod, its not his words. He does not even try to make them his. He cuts and pastes other rants in other blogs.
Of course all good americans go after the Israeli thing. Why doe we keep sending money to Israel when we have unemployed hungry!!!
or any of the other 45 countries we send aid to.
Small minded folk like Playa don't think, they digest others ideas.
Why Israel? Good question, I mean really, don't Jews have all the money anyway?
Its about oil! Yep, sure is!!
Well then, don't we have enough oil in North America to keep us independant on the middle east? Yeah we do, but "WE" don't own it! Oil companies do. Oil companies are not public domain, that would be communist or heavy socialist thing. If the middle east lights up and israel retaliates, and there is a big problem with oil production guess what? The price goes up as supply runs down. The price of the commodity would skyrocket!! Oil Companies could then export to meet demand. Can they do that? Sure, its NOT OUR OIL!!!!! Our trading partners need oil.
Many of the Patriotic crowd like to think we control our oil but the very paranoid subset of "Them taking over" would be that our government take the very private property and nationalize it! The New World Order does not allow a gov't to take a private owned entitiy like an oil company. The Government is the police to guard the private propety and the taxes we pay is the fee. "Oil companies don't pay taxes"!!!! Well our politics need to work on that but if we tax the crap out of them they just move their domicile over seas.
See, Europe and Asia need Saudi oil and if that supply ends because of a nuclear war well lets just say the world economy goes to hell and them food stamps won't be an issue anymore cuz we all screwed. We don't need to be the police in the middle east but I don't think we want China and Russia to be in control of that do we?
So while we all rant and rave about isolationist type thinking, or paranoid conspiracy theory we often forget the big picture which is:
The world is a phuched up place that operates at different levels. If you want to participate then save your money and buy some oil stocks and when it all goes to hell those oil stocks will jump in value. Those defense stocks will jump in value. The company with lots of Gov't logistic military contracts will jump in value.
Wait, is Hawaii even a state? How many morons think Obama is not a citizen becaue he was born there?
