Why us?

Why us? Why the USA? Why have we been chosen to protect and provide for the world? Why did we accept the responsibility?

Isn’t it about time that we delegated all or part of that to countries that are as well off or better off than we are?

Why are we still protecting Japan. Korea, most of Europe and a great part of the rest of the world?

Why are we expected to feed the third world countries for eternity?

The Bible states Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day; Teach a man to fish; And you have fed him for a lifetime.

It seems a lifetime isn’t long enough for them to learn to fish.

We have fed Africa forever it seems and they have become accustomed to handouts, so why should they learn to care for themselves. The only work they do is to unload the free food trucks. Excuse after excuse is getting old in my opinion.

There were two African countries that were self sufficient and actually fed many countries in Africa. South Africa and Rhodesia were well run countries until the natives, with the help of the rest of the world, destroyed them because they were run by intelligent whites.

We see how Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) turned out with millions now starving and inflation running at a million or so percent a month. We are now having to feed them. They used to export food.

I see that the president is now asking congress for $800,000,000 to feed the starving people in Africa. When will this insanity end? You keep a million from starving today and you will have 2 million starving tomorrow. That in itself is cruel.

It will never end until they accept responsibility or Mother Nature takes over.

I feel that we have done way more than our part and now we are hurting at the pump and grocery store. I doubt we can expect help from anyone. We work our tails off to pay for our food and then taxed to feed the ungrateful.

The world will still be screaming that it is our responsibility to care for the world and will continue to hate us whether we do it or not.

I still believe we should help with calamities but charity begins at home.

Your opinion…Have we done our share or should we continue our role as patsy and still be hated around the world?

We can only change ourselves. If you want change, start changing and stop fussing about what's wrong in this world. Read the book, QBQ: The Question behind the Question and it will provide insight on how to change the world. It starts with our personal responsibility and accountability.

Anti-lib, let me start by saying "bravo"- great blog.

Part of me tends to side with your argument. This morning, I saw where the president is sending more foreign aid somewhere, when I have students who probably only get a decent meal when they're at school. Here I am, an educator who does fairly well in the salary department, actually considering getting a second job this summer to counter the pain I'm feeling in pocket due to gas prices. Illegal immigrants roam rampant in this country, from just south of the border, yet one month-old babies get detained at the airport because their name triggers some alert in the airport's database. It's true- we police everyone's business but our own.

On the other hand, because I am a Christian, I think about why this country was started in the first place- Christian values and principles- and the most important one that we are supposed to honor is love thy neighbor as thyself. And although I could care less about what's going on in some countries right now, the US is always seen as the one who is most giving and the one who will bail out other countries when they are in trouble. I never see Canada sticking their nose where it doesn't belong, nor Australia......but then, those countries were not started on the basis of Christianity either (at least as far as I know).

Yes, we are the most hated country, and part of that is because we have been friends to Israel....and I don't even have to go into what that entails. We protected Kuwait and I'd just about bet that anytime there's a country getting "picked on", big brother US will b

e there to protect. Yet I wonder if the next time we stick our noses in others' business, will it spark the beginning of the next World War....yet there are some who believe that that day came with 9/11......I don't know....but there is one thing I do know, there isn't another piece of land I'd like to be living on right now regardless of how bad things seem.....high gas prices and all, because we still have our freedom, life, liberty, and the ability to pursue happiness.

Thank you Katie for the compliment.
I agree that it is the Christian thing to do to help people in dire need but I also believe there has to be a limit on helping people that won't help themselves.
America is the greatest country on earth but forces are at work trying to destroy it.
We see it deteriorating a little at a time as secular progressives push their changes down our throats.

Miss_Therapy ... Of course we can change ourselves but that is about the limit that we as individuals can do.
The rest sounds good on paper but in reality how do you really change the world without force or threat of force?
Change can be good or bad and sometimes people make the wrong choice.

I just want fairness for America and American tax payers.

Both of you have a nice rainy Saturday if possible.

I completely agree! The U.S. has taken on the problems of the world for far too long...and for what purpose? Do these countries come to our aid? Do they even like us? The answer to both of these questions is a resounding "NO!"!There are plenty of families right here in the U.S. doing without the basic necessities. Why haven't we taken it upon ourselves to help them? Why send what funds we do have half way around the world to help others when our "own" are in need? It seems to me that all we have done is add the rest of the world to our already over-burdened welfare rolls.

I am a self thinking, non brainwashed, conservative and not politically correct in any way. I believe liberalism, as practiced today, is a dangerous cult that has a sole purpose of destroying our country. The far left media and academia with their Ward Churchill clones are the backbone of this liberalism. They have the power to control the minds of our youth and those easily swayed which they do quiet easily.
