I am reminded of a few lines eloquently spoken by Sam Kinison many years ago:

Hey, come here…this is sand…nothing is going to grow here…nothing is EVER going to grow here…pack up your sh*t and let’s move you to

WHERE THE FOOD IS!

Yes, I hate to see anyone go hungry. However, as mentioned earlier, Africa’s collection of dictators and corrupt governments could care less about their own people. They are in it for THEMSELVES and they do NOT deserve one cent of aid.

A good indicator of a nation’s greatness is measured not only by its’ ability to feed itself but also how much surplus they can export to feed other countries. There’s too much corruption in many other countries, especially post colonial Africa, for them to properly feed their citizens. Zimbabwe was once known as the breadbasket of Africa until the dictator Mugabe came to power and issued radical, destructive farming reforms. Until all the corruption is eliminated I don’t see the situation ever improving.

Obama is trying to pass a bill that will put our own farmers out of work, but it’s okay to help another country, while he screws ours. I’ll bet Obama has never grown anything green in his life.

“Obama said Africa had enough arable land ….”

Well, it used to be arable land. Now it’s just desert. Turned into desert as the result of all the conditions normal to post-colonial Africa––limited water, overpopulation, overgrazing, war, neglect, incompetence, corruption, and destruction of white farms and white farmers.

So the divine Nerobama is going to regulate world temperatures and eliminate hunger in Africa. (Gufaw, gufaw.) I needed a good laugh. He really thinks he’s a god. Of course he is also laughing at us, the gullible American voters.

But on the other hand the Russians are laughing at him. And the Iranians are sneering.

And 1.3 billion Chinese could care less what he says.

And the Africans must be Providence’s final, most sardonic joke:

“Africa told the wealthy powers they needed to honor past commitments, mindful that some G8 countries had fallen short of their 2005 promise to hike annual aid by $50 billion ….” What colossal gall. The mind boggles.

If one believes––and I do––that the end of the Western world has to be epidemic insanity, this G8 session certainly measures up. Adjutorium nostrum, Domine.

PR I guess I forgot myself and didn’t realize where I was. I don’t want to see anyone starve, but at what cost do we continue to help. After a while WE won’t have anymore to give and will have to be on the receiving end of this charity. If China decides to start saying NO we are going to need that aid!

I am just so frustrated with the way this country has decided to give up its toughness and its greatness. The History channel is beginning to do stories on how the Founding Fathers were drunk all of the time and how they don’t understand how we could have become such a great force in the world.

“these people are going to be forever standing there with their hands out”

Now Chinnubie, so cynical. We need look no further than our own country. Just look at what out heartfelt generosity has done for our own citizens and the poor immigrants who come into our country with so little.

Why wouldn’t we want to share our successful progressive programs with the world?

If we don’t stop giving away food to the African Continent these people are going to be forever standing there with their hands out. They are NEVER going to be able to stand on their own. It sounds like a crappy thing to do, but leave them alone and let their “Difference” shine through. It is the only way they’ll be able to sustain themselves. We give and give and give and what has it gotten us, nothing but hate and animosity. We need to stand up for ourselves and say no more your going to have to learn how to do it just like we did when we came to this country. Sure people starved, but wouldn’t we all say we are better for the sacrifices that were made all of those years before?

Hey the dictators in Africa probably need to upgrade their private jets, limos and palaces, they need that money NOW! Ever notice how pushy these scum bums are, demanding that we help them?

Things never change. Back in Vietnam, the VC used to take the 100 lbs. bags of rice we sent over, relabel them then give them to the villagers and tell them the government of North Vietnam was helping them. The difference here is, the food never even gets to the people, it gets resold on the black market and the benevolent rulers pocket the money.

What is it with this country? Always the “most” impoverished, enslaved and diseased. And of course, always the most demanding of other countries.

Isn’t Hollywood gliterrati enough?

With the BILLIONS of dollars that have been thrown at this world hunger crap over the years .. NOBODY .. NOWHERE .. should be hungry!!! Whatta hoax!

And then of course this B.S. is topped with the: “Major Economies Forum chaired by Obama failed to get emerging powerhouses like China and India to agree to these targets, though they did all agree temperature rises should be limited to 2 Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit)”.

I wonder if this thieving windbags let God know about their temperature limits.

And, oh yeah .. let’s make sure we keep the door to the vault open: “Further stimulus packages for growth might still be required and it was dangerous to implement “exit strategies” from emergency measures too early” .. so we can steal more!

I’m seeing smoke on the horizon and I don’t think it’s from a barbeque.

Oh, and it seems like if we were going to crusade to feed the hungry it’d be wiser to start with, you know, the most hungry:

Country Number of Undernourished (million)
India 217.05
China 154.0
Bangladesh 43.45
Democratic Republic of Congo 37.0

We just have to print the money anyway; it shouldn’t take longer than a day, what’s up with this 3 years crap? For God’s sake the poor children are starving out there!

Africa’s more than happy to take our money – and there’ll be complete transparency along with a UN website where in one and a half clicks you’ll see a picture of exactly what child your tax dollars is feeding.

Just kidding, that would be meddling.
