Consider the fact that all the money your brother's company makes comes out of American pockets (through taxes and inflation caused by deficit spending).
Some people get richer, but most poeple are getting poorer.
I think it was meant to be ridiculous. Bush was the idiot "bad-cop". One of his major functions (besides starting wars and killing millions of people) was to be so grotesquely unlikeable that Obama would look good by comparison (at least long enough to get into office and get his programs up and running).
People supported Obama, not on his own record, but because he seemed to be very different from Bush.
One thing I discovered after living in a lot of 3rd world countries is that sometimes blatant corruption (at all levels) ends up being more fair and just than highly organized control by the government. It allows more room for humanity on the personal level.
There is no real border between France and Monaco and the French rich keep all their dirty money there. A simple check would suffice and no questions would be asked (on either side).
I believe that Gilly, the best friend, would be best qualified to know what his friend would appreciate.
And if it were me dying from of the effects of alcohol, I would certainly want my death to serve as a warning to others so that they might learn to live for something, rather than die for nothing.
Historically "conservatives" are for fiscal restraint, small government, a non-interventionist foreign policy, states rights, strict constitutionalists etc etc etc.
But nowadays the supposed conservatives are wild spenders, push huge government projects, are militarily adventurist, push a globalist agenda, are totally interventionalist, and have shredded the constitution and the bill of rights.
Both major parties are war parties. Both are globalist. Both are wild spenders.
The only real difference is their particular flavor of hypocrisy. The Democrats pretend to help the common people (but don't). The Republicans pretend to support traditional values (but don't).
If it had been a real burgulary, the friend would not have hung around outside sitting in the car waiting for the police to arrive after hearing shots and seeing the lights come on in the house.
I'll bet the supposedly stolen handgun had never been reported as stolen.
The only evidence for "burgulary" was that the sofa had been overturned and some cushions pulled out of it. That doesn't sound much like a burgulary to me. It sounds like a hasty effort to give the appearance of a burgulary.
Why would a kid disguise himself, break into his own grandfather's house (armed) and then overturn and tear up a sofa before engaging in a gunbattle with his grandpa?
A more likely scenario would be that the kid came to see his grandfather, an argument ensued, the angry grandfather shot his grandson and then, in order to make it look like a burgulary, produced a ski-mask and a second gun for the corpse, and then hastily overturned and tore up the sofa before the cops arrived.
Meanwhile the hapless friend was waiting outside in the car unaware of what was happening inside.
Even the supposed "enmity" between the West and Communism is part of the act.
There HAS to be an enemy menace. Like in "1984", the public (both in NK and everywhere else) has to be continually kept in a state of fear of some enemy that threatens to destroy everything good.
It is that fear that permits domination by "big brother".
The alliances may change overnight, but the paranoia must continue.
Notice the map included. The coast of Gaza is designated as being under Palestinian (not Israel) Authority.
Also notice that the coastal area north of Haifa is supposed to be Palestinian. And the Jordan valley. And everything east of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem itself is designated as being ruled by an international authority, not by Israel, nor by Palestine.
Also notice that NO Israeli settlements or troops are permitted anywhere in any of the Palestinian areas. Nor is Israel granted any authority to limit or control the free entry and exit of Palestinians to their territory.
According to the UN, Palestine has the same rights as Israel. Israel has NEVER respected those rights. And the US has enabled Israel to get away with it.
For example resolution 242 which called for all parties to return to the very borders designated in resolution 181.
So don't go trying to claim legitimacy for Israel on the basis of UN resolutions.
Shall we let the general assembly decide??? They have tried again and again to get Israel to respect such UN resolutions.
Only the US veto in the security council has prevented the UN from imposing sanctions or taking military action to force Israel to comply.
One day soon Obama himself will lift that veto and join the UN in invading Israel to force compliance. It's been planned that way all along. The Israel-Palestine issue was created for the very purpose of serving as the gordian knot which, when solved, will open the door to world domination.
When that occurs, it won't be due to good motives on the part of Obama. It will be to further the CFR one-world agenda.
But regardless of the motives, the entire world will cheer the end of Israel's agressions.

Uproar at poll claiming Israel is most dangerousNovember 03, 2003 Edition -1
Jerusalem - Israelis have reacted angrily to a European Union poll in which most of those surveyed reportedly believe that Israel poses the greatest threat to world peace.
Almost 60% of the Europeans surveyed believe Israel is more dangerous than North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the survey.
...Diaspora Affairs Minister Natan Sharansky accused Europeans of being antisemitic for placing Israel on the list above countries like Iraq and Iran....
Or you could put it this way, that's why 5 million Jews now live in and totally control all of Palestine, keeping the indigenous people confined as prisoners in concentration-camp-like conditions and regularly massacring them.
They went into Iraq with "Shock and Awe". And that was after "Desert Storm" and 10 years of deadly sanctions. America has all the finess of a handgrenade.
The best exit America ever made from one of its many invasions was Vietnam.
And despite horrible predictions, once the US was gone that country quickly ended its internal strife and began to heal. The only bloodbath was the one that America perpetrated.
The most humane thing America could do would be an immediate withdrawal and a genuine peaceful offer to finance all the necessary reconstruction.
If the US can afford to bail out all the corrupt bankers, she should certainly be able to invest in trying to repair some of the horrible damage she has wrought in Iraq.
But of course that's just wishful thinking, it's not going to happen. Things have to run their course.
And what right does Israel have to declare the coast of Palestine to be a war zone, or to prevent Palestinians from exercising authority over their own borders (for over 60 years now)?
It's a campaign of invasive genocide, like what Europeans did to the Native Americans.
Ah yes, in a defenseless city that's just been blown to bits by one of the world's best equipped militaries (thanks to AIPAC's stranglehold on the American taxpayers) what purpose could they possibly have for bags of concrete other than to build tunnels and smuggle weapons.
The tunnels to Egypt are just one more myth used to justify the genocide of the Palestinian people.
It would be interesting to see how you try to justify Israel's total blocade of any type of outside aid for Palestine when Israel itself continually demands aid from other countries and portrays itself as a needy victim while stealing everything that the Palestinians have (including their lives).
