SFC Ollie
Still Marching
Update: according to the Albuquerque Journal this morning, the Obama Administration has now slapped sanctions on Lybia.
But then there is this newscast explaining how we are 'building relationships' in other troubled nations by recently funneling $770 million of U.S. taypayer monies into repairing mosques in various Middle East countries:
Mosque Makeovers With Your Tax Dollars - Video - WSB Atlanta
I'm curious whether even our strongest Obama supporters might have a problem with this?
But that's less than one Billion
But you know what Ollie, a thousand dollars is a lot of money to me. I would like to know that my elected leaders treat a thousand dollars taken from me in taxes with upmost respect and make sure I get my full money's worth when it is spent.
A million dollars is a fortune--enough for me to live in luxury the rest of my life. I won't pay but a fraction of that when all taxes I have paid in a lifetime are added together. And a billion is too big a number for me to even get my mind around.
If the federal government authorized even a few thousand to patch up U.S. synagogue and churches, the hue and cry of angry protest would be deafening.
I'm sorry, I was being facetious. I thought most people who know me would see that.
But we all have an off day....
Fact is that the left should be screaming bloody murder over the Government spending even a dime on any religion. But as long as it's not Christianity I guess it's OK.
