littlewolf: America has been kicked in the teeth for helping in almost every country represented here on CS.the world hates us with a passion.Dont u guys think its time Americans were taken care of first??????I always heard the old phrase charity begins at home.I am not saying dont help others,just take care of America first.
Do you mean like providing health care for OUR OWN?????
virgiomonkey: .......Hmmmmmmm...........I would like to remind America when you had some major Bush fires in California....quite a few New Zealand Fireman volunteered to help out and put there life's at risk to help a fellow 'Friend' out....same as Austrailia Fireman also volunteered as well and also put there life's at risk also.......No ...I don't hate America people....far from it....but lets have honesty here shall we....some of your Government Foreign policies have been a total disaster....but that doens't mean,just because I don't agree all your Elected Government decisions on Foreign policies....that I haven't got time or day for America...far from it....many a time I have said on C.S forum site....that I have an incredible amount of respect and admiration for the America Constitution.....have a think on this one please....

Agreed, JD Thank-you all for having come to our aid.
As Ladyfingers said a happy Medium. The rest of the world has to step up to the plate too, We here are the ones that need help now too.
We have to take care of us. Many whom are now us that came from elsewhere in the last Century. We can not continue to feed others the way we have. It has attributed to the loss of our ecnomomy, IMO.

How about as your all armed , go get your rights back, you got independence from the British years ago to escape the same system as the Federal Bank imposed on you all.
So why not revolt and get it back?
That and did you complain when the Government entered a treaty with the mexicans and canadians and you'll end up losing your currency if your not careful.
I see you rights slipping away.....better take up arms to put the government in its place.
Either that, or order another pistol and whinge about it, but your all armed.....
You have presented a straw man argument here, a false choice. We can be non interventionist with out being isolationsist, that is, helping out and acting when our direct interests are threatened, but not interviening entirely when they are not, unless asked buy an allie for help. I am all for spending the vast majority we spend over seas at home, since it does seem no matter what we do,we are hated by the world. I am all for pulling right out of the U.N. withdrawing our funding and throwing their uselfess blathering assses off our soil. But, I am not for total isolationism, just noninterventionism.
