I made a comment on "foreign aid" and that I don't want my government involved in it and you reply about "blacks tied in cotton fields" ...and Hitler gassing the Jews?"
As for your assertion that the U.S. "takes away" more from foreign countries than it donates to them, we're not "taking" anything from them!*They're being paid for those assets!*
If countries don't want to sell to the U.S. then don't sell to the U.S.It sounds like you're not from the U.S. by your sentence structure.You seem to be saying that somehow I support Republicans and George Bush.I do not.I also do not like Democrats and didn't vote for P.E. Obama or John McCain.
It is the Democrats and Republicans who have gotten us into the mess we're in right now.
If P.E. Obama is just going to continue Clinton's and Bush's policies then there will be no "change."
It is simply not the "job description" of the U.S. govt. to be giving our Taxdollars away to foreign countries in "foreign aid."
I neither need nor want them doing so on my "behalf."
There is simply way too much *corruption* involved in those programs!
If "foreign aid" programs actually worked,the amount we gave every year should be going "down" not up!
Those programs have become nothing more than a way for the lobbyists on K Street to become rich by stealing the Taxpayer's money!
If individual citizens want to give to "NGOs" I have no problem with that and, that's the way it (should) be done.
However, after 40 years of "foreign aid" to African countries those countries need to start being *responsable* for themselves and their own citizens!
As for "Mugabe" being "despicable" or not again, that is none of my business as a U.S. Citizen.
I am not anyone's "knight in shining armor" or "rescuer" or walking ATM machine.
If we are going to see any real "change" from P.E. Obama he needs to *end* all of these "foreign aid" programs that make the few in Washington rich and get our Troops out of foreign countries!

First, America cannot be what is today, and I repeat CANNOT be what it is today -- without extorting and intimidating the rest of the world, using all kinds of tools available to it -- IMF, WORLD BANK, CIA, ....and now FBI crawling around in almost every country in the world.
America needs cheap resources from the rest of the world and has used, and is at present using military might to ensure that your "HAMBURGER" costs only $1.00.
America takes away from other nations more than it "donates" to them. These excerpts from the book: "If You Love This Planet," by Helen Caldicott, gives a very clear picture about how "predatory" the United States and other developed countries are to the third world: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Helen_Caldicott/Third_World_Debt_IYLTP.html
When George Washington said: "We should avoid foreign entanglements," he had no clue what was ahead -- absolutely! This constant referral to the 1800's a.k.a "Our Founding Fathers," is not only archaic, but is also most of the times -- irrelevant.
Take for example the quotation "All men are created equal" -- first used by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. If all men were created equal -- the George W. Bush should be hanged as soon as he leaves office!
Yeah ...all men are created equal, while you have hundreds of blacks "tied" in your backyard and in your cotton fields!
Unfortunately bits and pieces of this mentality still exist today.
Lying and using false representations to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and the upheaval of millions of children, women and families, while heaping hate on top of hate, is as treasonous as Hitler's propaganda machine, which he used as an excuse to exterminate German Jews.
And I haven't even counted the crimes he committed while blatantly stealing Florida in 2000, and then using "Fear-Mongering Propaganda" to steal it a second time in 2004 -- documented here in video: http://www.politicalarticles.net/blog/2008/10/20/republicans-already-stealing-early-votes-in-west-virginia/
Mugabe as despicable as he is, doesn't even come close!
What's the difference between murdering your own people or the people of another country --- Iraq?
As for Omar al-Bashir -- I wish I could hang him myself!-
