Possibly the dumbest post ever in FreeptardRepubicHairs history.....
...and that says too much for one sentence.

My Dream Presidential Speech
Someone I would vote for.... | 10/21/2006 | No President I know of...

Posted on 10/21/2006 1:26:23 PM PDT by Positive

My Fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of the Iraq regime has been completed.

Since congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq . This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom , Spain , Bulgaria , Australia , and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.


More here...(if you can stomach it).

Almost two-thirds of US foreign aid goes to Israel and Egypt.

4. I'd like to hear a president say that they are allocating billions of
dollars to fight mental illness so that we never have to withstand another bunch of ignorant asshats so pathetically and horrendously mentally deficient as those registered to post on that website.

5. What an idiot!
Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 04:27 PM by patrice
Not only does that person not know how short Foreign Aid is going to come in paying for the Invasion of Iraq, he probably thinks those countries who are helping us are doing so without the expectaton of reward$$$$$$$$$$, i.e. Foreign Aid.

BTW: Is it possible to help such a moran out by posting a correction in reply to him on that board? I'm not volunteering, but I hope someone does.

6. Ignorant AND shortsighted. Must be a Republican
99% of all foreign aid is actually weapons and military bases stationed on their soil and even that is only about 1% of the total cost of the Iraq war.

7. It comes from a common misperception about foreign aid
Dullards think that foreign aid is a material part of the US budget when, in fact, it is less than 1% of the budget.

10. Yes we should cut off aid to our creditors
Our entire economy is fueled by money borrowed from state banks of Asian countries who beneift when we spend the money on consumer products manufactured in their countries. Sure we're gonna stop doin that. Right now * and crew are trembling in fear of the day China starts dumping our currency and here's this asshole advocating thumbing our nose at the world who really has no need for us anymore.

11. "Drilling for oil in Alaska will solve our nation's oil needs for decades
Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 04:35 PM by Downtown Hound
to come." Are there really any words for how stupid these people really are? There's enough oil there for anywhere from six months to 1 year at the most. Jesus (yes I took thy Lord's name in vain) these people are dumb. And willfully dumb too, not just ignorant. They are proud of their stupidity and view it as a sign of strength.

14. These bozos always think that we give SOOooo much away in aid and welfare.
Also, do they really think we don't give money away because we think it will eventually be to our benefit?

NO! I CAN'T read any more!

Edited on Sat Oct-21-06 05:58 PM by impeachdubya
Your average Right wing AM Radio Dockers Wearing Cublicle Monkey will get endless amounts of frission from bitching about bon-bon eating "welfare queens" that don't exist, but ask them about the billions the GOP has pissed away since they took control, and you're likely to get a blank "huh"?

Let me guess. At the end, it says to forward it to ten people and Microsoft will send you a check for $149.99. :eyes:

17. There were some interesting responses
in that Freeper thread, in the sense that they didn't all jump in agreeing with that nonsense (for example, the person who replied "Thank God no American President would be this stupid"). It surprised me. DUers undercover, maybe?

24. The Iraq regime?
*blink*

Pardon me, but isn't the regime of a country the system of government and its controllers, and not the country itself?

I couldn't read any further after that.

30. This piece of spam was written before the fall of Saddam,
It's been around for awhile, the freeper that posted it is just regurgitating old crap. It was back when they were telling us that after we got control of Iraq, that we would pay for the war with their oil.

25. That's what we refer to as a
"Rectal Estimate"...they just pulled that bull-shit out ta their ass! Not even fucking close $$ dollar-wise. When this cluster-fuck gets costed-out in real terms it's gonna be EVEN more than allocated thus far...not even factoring in the LIVES of our soldiers. Oh and that Lancet Report...how to cost that out? And the opportunity-costs of the nation as we pay for this incompetence. So take your rectal estimate back and stick-it where the sun don't shine...low-life, shit-flingers...
"The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war".
:freak:

26. They are so delusional on many topics
but none more so than foreign aid. The few hundred million dollars we send a few poor nations is a drop in the bucket compared to our enormous military budget, our interest payments, our entitlement program, and the cost of tax breaks for millionaires. This money, it can be argued, pays for itself in goodwill generated for our nation and also by stabilizing the countries it goes to. The idea that we spend $300 billion on foreign aid per year is the height of crackpottery.
