    Just got this email:

    Subject: WHAT THE HELLS WRONG WITH THE US?????
    I have wondered about this for years!!!!
    Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with
    all the people that run this country!!!!!!

    We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors,
    Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????

    In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti,
    Chile, and Turkey. And now Pakistan.....
    home of bin Laden.
    Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

    Our retired seniors living on a ' fixed income'
    receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while
    our government and religious organizations
    pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons
    of Food to Foreign Countries!

    We have hundreds of adoptable children who
    are shoved aside to make room for the adoption
    of foreign orphans.
    AMERICA: a country where we have homeless
    without shelter, children going to bed hungry,
    elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally
    ill without treatment -etc,etc.
    YET.....................
    They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on
    12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with
    food, water , tents clothes, bedding, doctors and
    medical supplies .

    Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US'
    citizens the same support they give to other countries .


    Sad isn't it?

    99% of people won't have the guts to forward this.
    I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did




    It is pretty sad. It must be from The Tea Party. Any comments?

    I'm not sure about that. All the words are spelled correctly, but the overuse of exclamation marks with no real ideas about how to fix the problem definitely makes it seem like it came from a Republican.

    I don't know, it could be from the Tea Party folks. Lot's of stupid comments in it. Example; Osama Bin Laden is from Saudia Arabia. Pakistan is where some believe he is hiding out. Benefits for the people of Hati on 12 TV stations were seeking voluntary contributions from people and had nothing to do with government money. People tend to adopt babies from foreign countries because those countries have more lax adoption laws. has nothing to do with the availability of adoptable babies here being "shoved aside". Saying our retired seniors get "no aid" from the Govt. as if medicare and social security did not exist.
    Yeah, it's stupid enough to be a Tea Party thing. There are actually some decent points to be made, they just fucked it up with their dumb-shit rhetoric aimed at dumb-shits by dumb-shits.

    The funny thing is, I get e-mails like this ALL THE TIME but some amateurish hack has altered it to look Canadian. Of it was originally Swiss but someone slapped a graphic of a crying Eagle on it and changed all the references to America.

    So you'll get stuff like.

    "For too long America has let foreigners come in by the millions who make no attempt to learn English, care nothing for our traditions and culture, and despise us for the very freedoms they came here to escape. Let's send a message to Parliament this summer ....."

    Or

    "I'm so sick of how this country is going. We were once the greatest nation on Earth, a pillar of freedom and Democracy for our allies and the walking talking fear of God to our enemies. Now we've gone soft and pathetic from the shores of New Jersey to the border with Pakistan... well this Aussie isn't gonna take it any more"

    I LOVE when there's a slip up where you can see where everyone who forward sit just adds their own pet peeve into it. I wish I could link to one but... who would save those things?

    I guess not. They are being sensitive to Seniors and children. Talking about helping out people. And the Tea partiers don't like helping others only themselves. Remember they are the ones who have signs saying "keep your government out of my Medicare."

    It's from the Republican side, more likely Tea Party! How I know - that is what is being pushed in other Political Forums by righties that are not too well informed. One blogger was trying to tell me that Obama had loaned Brazil $2M for oil drilling in Brazil, along with his complaint about all the money being wasted helping other countries - I checked it out on Snopes and it is a fabricated story for the most part. Guess Faux News gave it a "left" spin to get their viewers panting.

    But, aren't the Republicans the ones that were "all for" the Iraq war and helping Iraq set up a Democracy? They sure don't bitch about that.
    I suppose I can understand the callous selfish disregard of the conservatives. It is their pride in it that passes me by. Rack Jite
