Take a Good Look

Take a good look through all the articles posted as “Articles and Images of Note”.

The basic underlying theme of them shouts one blaring fact. We should not be involved in any of these countries. We should back way off and let them do their own thing. Let them live with their drug money and be ruled by their demigods and let their armies and police do as they wish. Forget them, watch them. Watch from a great distance. Because all they ever do is fall deeper into the toilet they have created. No matter how a situation is approached outside of our own country there can be no success for the US. No matter who is in power, eventually some crazy will get there. Eventually the whole mess comes back to bite us in the ass. So forget it. Let it go. Let’s not have a foreign policy except at our own borders. Let’s say we just put up some more fences and keep them all out. Let’s redirect all that foreign aid to our own debt load and our own needy. God knows, we’d all be able to have health insurance, a good meal and a roof over our heads with just a little re-direction of money that is surely wasted on the minds of dictators pretending to give a shit about their own people.

How stupid is it to throw money at insane little men when our own kids don’t have books in their schools or music programs or computers that aren’t 5 years old. How stupid is it to give a shit about countries that would just as soon nuke us, instead of making sure the elderly don’t freeze to death because they can’t afford heat. As far as I’m concerned there is no reason for us to continue any of the formerly politically correct foreign aid when there is no pay off. Let’s see if we can make our own little corner of the world better before we try to make the rest of the world just like us! Capitalism doesn’t work in it’s current form and democracy needs a face lift to go with the financial reforms necessary.

So what do you say people? Rather than bashing the old US and it’s antiquated foreign policy, why don’t we all just call for isolationism instead! Get internalized. That would work.
