Some of those same people come with their hands out when they have a disaster.

So you would have them denied aid during a disaster unless they lick our boots? Do we help only our sycophants? What criteria do you think the United States has for giving humanitarian aid, Mary?

Part of American Exceptionalism … We, government and non-government alike, help everyone.

You expect them, riding on white stallions, and swinging scimitars to come charging off red-sailed dhows in New York and Boston harbors sweeping all before them?

And, who would these be? The Saudis, the Moroccans, the Jordanians, the Persians? LOL!

Comic book fantasies.

No Rich, this is a new world. Now they fly planes into buildings, blow up hotels, and go on shooting rampages at military bases. Welcome to the 21st century.

We help everyone, but that does not mean I have to like it. What are we helping with? Borrowed money. I think countries might resent the term sycophants. They don’t have to like us, but at least they should not criticize when we are helping them. Very poor taste IMO.

No, I expect them to bring the junk for a large radiological bomb across our southern border (which, as you know, anyone can cross, in broad daylight, waving flags, blowing horns, and yelling “Come and get me, Yankee imperialists!” over megaphones, and they will never be detected), assemble the bomb, and use it to poison a large American city or even several cities.

Middle Eastern terrorists look indistinguishable from Latin American illegals—and you can scream “racism!” all you want, it’s still the truth—and if they’re dressed like any normal, run of the mill campesino, nobody is going to give them a second glance. They put the thing together at night in a downtown warehouse, blow it off at rush hour, and then it’s don’t drink the milk, kids, it’s full of strontium-90.
