Let's just say the ground work is in place to send a portion of your hard earned tax dollars over to Libya's new interim government. Seems they like nice things.

I really wasnt aware of crude in Africa, well not enough of concern anyways, very strange though to say the least, i thought we just went after the blood diamonds lol,
I wonder how much more is left in the middle east, I know Saudi Arabia is gearing up for tourism because i sense the end is near with their crude. I know there are different forms of crude such as the sweet crude which is the stuff highly sought after. its hard to try to figure this world out. |

Eric, you may be right for the most part, but if your hinting that Africa does not have oil reserves, they have a huge one with some of the most sought after crude. I think it's a more of a undeveloped political move. We have cut a sweet deal with Canada and ol' Hugo were we get most of ours. |

I don't have any answers on that one either, no rhyme or reason to it, we send a lot of money around the world both through the government and private organizations, in general the world is a better place with the US that it would be without it, but specific situations can be massive exceptions to the rule. It does seem we do better with private donations than when the government gets involved.

its got nothing to do with morals or we would be in Africa feeding the ones that are really starving and hacking eachother apart with machete's, needless to say we have a turn the other cheek with Africa because we have nothing to gain, dont you say to yourself why Afghanistan/Iraq, why not the appalacian mountains, louisianna, poor city USA??? its fcd up, really
I just hope some day when we suck that last well dry it will become a civilized society, were no better than the rest, we are the same as the Hitlers, the Stalins, the Milosovics, we just label it differently |

Not Me, not a war I would have ever promoted getting into. So feeding Americas poor is a moral imperative, but not the afghannys? Its Ok to shoot at them but not feed them? Just trying to figure out how this all works. |

This is such a warped idea of what is right. You are basically saying the poor are all common thieves unless we pay them not to be. And we are the ones who don't treat them with dignity? I believe people are better than that. |

they do, do a public service, give em a check and they wont rob you. If you havnt notice the crime rate has seemed to triple since 3 years ago, so I look at it this way, 3 hots at home or 3 hots in the penn, cheaper to keep them at home

The difference is I can choose whether to buy his merchandise or not. The last time I looked there was not an opt out on my tax form to support drug users and thieves. And yes his mugs are made in the US. |

Agreed! My life just wouldn't be complete without a "Ditto" mug on my desk.
You don't like the idea of drug testing to make a determination on whether someone should get welfare? I never mentioned it, but, not a bad idea. Also, what about requiring them to not only be drug free, but, also do some public service to earn that money? Is that too draconian? |

I had a boss once who was an alcholic. Was the life of the party until he stopped drinking.
People are humans, and all have weaknesses regardless of political affiliation. But, if thats all you got in your debating arsenal, then by all means, bring it up. What about Elliot Spitzer. He had an addiction to whores. He was put on CNN with a talk show, but, was subsequently soon cancelled. He went the way of the Doh-Doh Bird, and the liberal radio network, Air America. Maybe he should stick to the hookers under the alias "Client #9". He's probably much better at that. I think its interesting gossip, but, has very little impact on the real issues that face this country. By the way, in case you are interested, Rush is still going stronger than ever |

You beat me to it Jack. The left likes to site Rush's addition to prescribed pain killers because basically it is all they have on him. I believe every one is a potential addict, but the chances are higher for relapse than for someone who never used. Obama admits use of pot and coke, If some use was admitted there is likely more. But you never here the left talk of that. I guess we hold talk show hosts to a higher standard than our president.

Obama is an admitted coke user and you still voted for him for president, so what's your point?

Judging this site by the off topic political discussion is like judging the human body by looking at just the arm pit.
