Don't assume "tessalu" meant more social welfare in America.

Tessalu probably menat placing America as #1--America First. That is how I read "taking care of our own".

Right tessalu?

Why don't the Islamics cancel their dept first......as they don't believe in interest payments.

"Don't assume "tessalu" meant more social welfare in America."

I can read English, which apparently causes you difficulty.

He wants free health insurance, unlimited 'Socalist Security', etc.

These are Socialist positions. Period.

Now that the "injustice" has been addressed on the global scale, it is time to address the injustices being perpetrated upon millions of American home owners.

I'm talking about mortgages.

Yes, it is true. Nearly all of us homeowners are led to believe that we actually own our homes but in reality, it is the evil mortgage companies who actually hold the paper on them and they extract from us, on a monthly basis, large payments. Payments that prevent us from doing other things with our money. Like going on a Hawaiian vacation or buying a bigger house!

The big, rich, evil mortgage companies have enslaved us!

Well it is high time that the rich mortgage companies hear the voices of the downtrodden homeowners of America! We need to have our mortgages "forgiven" and we need the mortgage companies to forward us the titles to our homes forthwith and in haste! It's time for us homeowners to RISE UP and demand freedom from our mortgages! Power to the people! Power to the homeowners of America! This injustice can no longer be perpetrated upon us!

The Brit "debt forgiveness" proposal shows the inherent fraud in loans to foreign countries--why should they pay back?

A simple solution--any legislator (or bureaucrat) who votes to loan American money to foreign governments must personally guarantee the loan. In other words, if the foreign country defaults and keeps the "loan", the legislator/bureaucrat should have to reimburse the taxpayers. Let's see how many "loans" they approve if they are personally responsible for the payback.

And where, precisely, in the Constitution is the right to health insurance?

It is precisely on the same page that gives our leaders(?) the authority to give away hundreds of billions of our tax dollars to foreign interests...

And since there is no chance of stopping this practice, I say let's spend the money on Americans, since they are so inclined to spend it...You disagree???

We gave $350 million in charity to tsunami nations--free money--but Floridians are charged loans.

I am proud of the fact that I didn't give a single penny toward the Tsunami Shakedown so that Muslim dictatorships could build more mosques and maddrassas. Instead I gave a little extra towards putting ultrasound machines in Christian-run pregnancy clinics so that women considering abotions could be shown the truth about the life inside their bodies.

You made a wise decision. I didn't give one penny to tsunami nations either. That money will only find its way back into terrorist orgaizations.

Another thread just posted something about trucks headed from Iran to Iraq with tons of money headed for the terrorists.

America gave Iran millions after the Bam earthquake, and the World Bank (that America funds) gave Iran "loans" (which will become forgiven debt so call it charity).

America is stupid for giving these nations money. American citizens are stupid for giving money to these charitable organizations.

We could drop 100 billion down that rathole every few days and no one would know the difference.

"America is stupid for giving these nations money. American citizens are stupid for giving money to these charitable organizations".

This quote should appear on the top of every FR page today. could not agree more, especially on the insane Iran earthquake "aid" (for one of the oil-richest nations on earth)
