What do we have to do to please the UN? I mean, other than abdicating our sovereignty as a nation, subscribing to socialism, and rolling over and sticking our butts in the air like French soldiers during a surprise combat drill?
Read this headline from Drudge. The audacity surprises even me. If the link has gone away, it reads as follows: "UN official slams U.S. tsunami aid as 'stingy'... Developing..."
I’m sure the Drudge Report will fill in more details as time goes on. However, I think I’ve pretty well got the idea already. It’s not like we haven’t heard this refrain before.
The US is the largest supplier of foreign aid in the world. No other country matches our largesse and charity. We have spread more of our wealth among the poor countries in this world than any other nation has ever done, bar none.
This is the gratitude we receive? I’m glad I’m not in charge of such things. My knee-jerk reaction would be to stop all foreign aid immediately, and issue a press statement which said, “Suck on this, heathens.” This would be immediately after I abolished the UN and confiscated its headquarters in New York for a new basketball arena.
Which is exactly why I will never be elected to anything higher than dogcatcher. I know that our foreign aid is important in helping the world out. I don’t doubt that we save millions of lives out there in the cesspool we call a world. I just wish the rest of the planet was at least a tiny bit grateful for the things we do for them.
We don’t HAVE to help out. We do it because we’re a darn great country. Also, because I’ll never get elected to anything where I have a say in foreign relations. For which they should all be eternally grateful.
By the way, I hope everyone out there had a Merry Christmas.
