United States Arming Our Enemies (Again)
If we can't beat them, join them?! We are now arming Sunni groups that "promise" to stop killing us and start fighting Al Qaeda instead. Brilliant. We've already spent $15 BILLION arming the Shiite groups, now we will arm their enemies too. (Basically, we are funding both sides of a civil war. Meanwhile, in the US, we have people with no healthcare and kids going to school in trailers.) And, what happens after they get our funding and weapons and decide to break their promise?! WTF?!
34 Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.'
37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?
38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?
39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'
40 And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
I'm married with two kids and three sleep disorders. I haven't had four consecutive hours of sleep in the last nine years. So, I'm usually too tired to spell things correctly, use proper punctuation (or give a shit). I talk in run-on sentences and ramble a lot. Sometimes I'm deep and compassionate, sometimes lighthearted and funny, but always honest and very opinionated. I mostly bitch about politics. It won't take long to figure out that I am completely outraged by George Bush and his administration. They make me ashamed to admit I was raised Republican. I now consider myself somewhere between a Democrat and a Libertarian. Live and let live.
