International aid groups that depend on U.S. funding appeared shocked. “The recent stop-work cable from the State Department suspends programs that support America’s global leadership and creates dangerous vacuums that China and our adversaries will quickly fill,” said InterAction, the largest alliance of international aid organizations. “This halt interrupts critical life-saving work including clean water to infants, basic education for kids, ending the trafficking of girls, and providing medications to children and others suffering from disease. It stops assistance in countries critical to U.S. interests, including Taiwan, Syria, and Pakistan. And, it halts decades of life-saving work through PEPFAR [the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a global health program started by President George W. Bush] that helps babies to be born HIV-free.”
Let’s take a look at what is in the quote. First we have ‘clean water to infants.’ More left-wing nonsense meant to let government take over the god-given water supply. We have always drunk natural water and survived. Let these kids do the same as us. Anyone dying from drinking water wasn’t strong enough to survive anyway.
Then we have basic education. We have basic education plus in this country and all its done is turn our children into a bunch of Marxists. What good is it? Let apply for entry-level jobs, get OJT, and move on up just like all of us did. Free education is worth just what it costs.
Then there’s this so-called trafficking of girls. Who lets the girls go with the pimps? Their parents, that’s who. Are we to try to save everyone from bad parenting? And the girls themselves, as we all know, play a part in this themselves, with their slinky ways and unbuttoned blouses. You can’t blame men for being men and the pimps are just practicing free enterprise by making money off it. The girls would be doing what they’re doing with or without “trafficking.”
Providing medication is a lucrative business and these clowns want to make it free – free everything for liberals and attack good conservatives just for making an honest living by selling things like medicine. Who is more villified that pharmaceutical companies that do the hard work in research and production to provide us with medication; we just have to pay for it. How does that make Big Pharma the baddies?
And you don’t need any hints on who AIDS relief is going to, do you? Did anyone tell those perverts that there are penalies for immoral behavior?
And finally the great bogeyman is invoked: China. If China encroaches on our internation sphere of influence it just has two results: fair competition and we have to be man enough to concede losses and it saves us a lot of money saving the world and may be a way to drain China the way it has drained the USA.
Regarding the above simulation of conservative thought, show me where I am wrong, where I cannot bring to you quotes from established conservatives that in the main reflect this kind of thinking.
