So, why are we sacrificing our country in order to help the rest of the world? Are we meant to be the martyred lamb, till the world’s savior returns?

I'm not against foreign aid. I just think we should make sure we are strong, so we can be strong for them. If we don't survive, who will take care of us or them?

You are right. There are homeless people everywhere. There are poor Americans. Our own should always come first.

You're right!!! We have homeless people who are AMERICAN CITIZENS, right here in the good old U.S.A.!!!
Some of them are even veterans,who went to FIGHT for this country!!! And yet, our government would rather help ILLEGAL aliens, than OUR own people!!! How MESSED UP is that???
I remember, several years ago,my family and i went to the state fair in Phoenix. On one of the streets we turned down, there was a soup kitchen, and i will NEVER forget what i saw there!!! It was in Oct/Nov, one of those months, and i remember it was COLD that evening!!!! And, ALL around this building, there were homeless people!! Some were huddled in cardboard boxes, trying to get warm. There were even familys with little children!!! All of them, waiting for what would probably be their ONLY meal of the day!!!!
Our government won't help our own people, but then turn around and give ILLEGALS anything they DEMAND!!!!
What is WRONG with this picture????

I have to say I agree with you! If we weren't sending soooo much money out into the world to help people who, 9 times out of 10, would just as soon nuke us to oblivion, we could have one of highest standards of living in the world for ALL our citizens; more education (the key to everything); less poverty & unemployment, etc. So many things!!! I'm not totally against foreign aid, but we need to care for those in our own backyard in this big wonderful USA before sending all our extra supplies and help everywhere for a little political nookie nookie. Let's be a shining, awesome example for the world before going out and trying to convince them through gimmee programs or beating them in the head. Lead by example. Let them see how wonderfully our democracy actually works!

ok, so i'm not with the whole martyred lamb part.... but yeah.... what about those who live here already?
it is all about motives.... what ever happened to those starving children in Africa that my parents always used to bribe me to finish eating my dinner... aren't they still starving? however, there are not any motives for "helping" people in Africa... there isn't enough oil there...
most people aren't getting your point here... it isn't that you want to be taken care of and be lazy, but rather that there are enough problems in America (i am assuming) that the government should concentrate more on meeting the needs of the existing peoples rather than the people in other countries. in the end, the people of America will end up with the short end of the stick...

Our government does not listen to the American voice whatsoever.
It would be nice if our government would listen to the people and make Medicare drug plans easier for our elderly to understand. Instead we are being lead into some mind game that suggests that criminals from other countries are entitled to more then those that are citizens and loyal. Confused and slaughtered we may already be.

I doesn't really make any sense. In order to take care of the world we need to ensure that the next generation is smart enough and in good enough shape to be able to do that and no one in power seems to realize that.

Hunny, it's not "we" --- It's those in power who are pussyfooting around.
The UNITED STATES is a great nation - whether people believe it or not. When others have been in need and war, who's been there to help? US. Someone has to be the one to step up and do good for this world - and if it has to be us, so be it. I support doing things for the better of this world.. We're all we've got.
God will judge those accordingly who 'expect' to have everything handed to them, who do evil rather than good, and who have no faith in God himself..

America is corrupt to the core and the society of supremacists and haters.
it make me sick that the rich are getting more rich and the people are getting more poor and what is the government doing about it they make wars and kill innocents in 9/11 and then they justify it with 9/11.
why are people so blind, they need to pick them selves up and make a stand before it's to late.

Aren't they ALL "our people"?
What will your "savior" have to say when he "returns" to see that you have applied "his rules" to only those who live within certain lines on some map?
Drop your religion man! Embrace reality. You can still be spiritual without all the fire and brimstone nonsense.
