Exclamation Let the fun begin

How they vote in UN

Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 67% of the time.

Qatar votes against the United States 67% of the time.

Morocco votes against the United States 70% of the time.

United Arab Emirates votes against the U. S. 70% of the time.

Jordan votes against the United States 71% of the time.

Tunisia votes against the United States 71% of the time.

Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 73% of the time.

Yemen votes against the United States 74% of the time.

Algeria votes against the United States 74% of the time.

Oman votes against the United States 74% of the time.

Sudan votes against the United States 75% of the time.

Pakistan votes against the United States 75% of the time.

Libya votes against the United States 76% of the time.

Egypt votes against the United States 79% of the time.

Lebanon votes against the United States 80% of the time.

India votes against the United States 81% of the time.

Syria votes against the United States 84% of the time.

Mauritania votes against the United States 87% of the time.


US Foreign Aid to those that hate the USA:
Egypt, for example, after voting 79% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 71% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 75% against the United States receives $6,721,000
annually in US Foreign Aid.

India (although not a Muslim state) votes 81% against the United States receives $143,699,000 annually

Perhaps it is time to get out of the UN and give the tax savings back to the
workers who are having to skimp and sacrifice to pay the taxes.

Now they want to cut oil production....By how much should the aid be cut?

Not a bad idea. With "friends" like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and India, who needs enemies. If these countries really wanted to take a stand against our "Evil American Empire" how about not taking the money. The UN is an irrelevant debating society that lets petty diplomats from third world and has been countries feel important.

Simple rule of budgeting #1:
You can't spend money you don't have.

Since we have this gigantic national debt I say we stop ALL foreign aid (I've been saying this for years). If we can't actually support ourselves, what the heck are we doing giving money away to others (especially those that hate us ... evidently they don't hate our money).

In fact, I think it's time the other nations of the world start paying some of it back.

I know, not a popular idea, but then I also think we should turn most of the middle east into an irradiated waste land and nuclear testing ground...
but that's just me.

It's getting to the point where I'm going to refuse to pay taxes if it goes outside the country. Why should I have to pay for that?

***** 'em all. Nuke 'em.

But it's OK to spend 300 BILLION to "liberate" a country from their "evil dictator"???

I kind of agree with you guys. Let's pull back a little and invest some of this money on protecting our boarders instead of trying to save the world. Especially a world that hates us anyway's and doesn't WANT to be saved....

I'm beginning to think that the $300 billion you speak of was ill spent, they don't seem to deserve it to me. I may be disillusioned but why help anyone else, the world seems to hate America, I say fine, we'll take our ball (read technological assistance, humanitarian aid, military protection/ peacekeeping, and money) and go home! More money for Americans less money for shady, ungrateful, two face nations! Perhaps I should run for president...Ayone want to vote for me?

Absolutely…

Think of it this way, the lazy and useless got less money to buy Ding Dongs and Twinkies to eat while watching Oprah…

One less socialist program was allowed to be funded…

Approx. 50 – 200 pork programs went down the drain…

When it gets down to it, it is $300 BILLION less the government gets to waste and throw away, and that my friend is GOOD news, keeps taxes down…

Wow, I never thought of it that way. Well, score another for GW in my book. It's too bad he wnet overboard with the perscription drug thing. Hopefully they can fix that in years to come, providing Hillary doesn't get elected in 08 and send the price tag of the thing to 5+ trillion over the next five years. Talk about sending the economy into the tank when you spend 10% of it on drugs.

Hey, if you're counting on Kerry to spend a bunch of money on border security you'll be in for a good let down. He talks a good game now, but you know that's one thing that will never happen with the dems. You can't dry up a good source for social programs.

Ummm, how about applying this 300 billion dollars to the National Debt? Wouldn't that work out better? Don't get me wrong, I fully support the war, but rather than just spend it on programs that obviously weren't needed year after year (and obviously there are some, or they would have found a way to get the pork programs their money), and if they aren't priority one, then there's no point in having them anyway.

Yes, spending $300 Billion in the way it was spent keeps taxes down, it’s so simple to understand, here let me try to explain if I may…

Let’s take any ordinary socialist program, like welfare for example. You start the program by initially spending $300 billion to get it up and running that may last for 3 years maybe 5 years.

We all know that once you start a socialist program it will NEVER end and the COST goes UP, UP, UP AND AWAY hence TAX INCREASES to continue socialist program.

This $300 Billion was taken and spent wisely and not on some stupid program for the lazy, stupid and weak. Since there was not a program created with this $300 Billion we will NOT have to come back in a few years and RAISE TAXES to continue the support for a useless and wasteful program that supports useless and wasteful people.

It’s a win-win situation it helps America remain secure while taking money OUT of the liberal’s hands to waste on goofy programs for Oprah’s audiences of destitute weasels…

Hmm, didn't the 300 billion come out of tax money? How about we just didn't spend it either way? Making an excuse like that for the expenditure is pretty sad. "Well, we may have wasted it, but at least we didn't let the other guys really waste it"

Not the exact quote, but it is exactly what he meant…

Maybe if certain individuals had been born or had children born with birth defects, the wouldn't be so jaded against programs to help the weak or stupid. Perhaps we should start a program for the heartless.

There are some really great quotes on here lately. I laughed for almost five minutes at Habibi's one below. Amen to all of these by the way! Oprah is the devil.
