I really don't care what the % is. Let other countries help themselves.

I did.

It's still more than every other country. Maybe if we didn't spend so much helping them we could help ourselves a little more but as Americans that's what we do.

No, don't stop it all. I have no problem aiding allies like Israel. Or, some European countries who have demonstrated that they are with us. But, no the rest of the world can go pound salt.

Isreal provides free abortions.

Israel will pay for all approved abortions for women aged 20 to 33, thanks to a recommendation accepted by its health ministry. Starting this year, Israel will spend 16 million shekels ($4.6 million) to cover abortions for approximately 6,300 women.

“People who support Israel—even if they’re conservative on social values—they’re lives are not going to be changed by [this issue,]” said Steve Rosen, a former leading official at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). “One of the things you have to remember is that Israel’s abortion policy was liberal last year too, very liberal—one of the most liberal in the world—and they went even further in that direction.”

 So using federal aid to provide abortions is ok because they're tempering the middle east.  There are exceptions then.

So fewer children dying of malaria and HIV (drastically fewer) is a drain on our society, 6et you remain't staunchly against abortion because it is killing babies.
So, we just have to let the babies be born and then once you stop caring about them, they can be killed however, you won't care, duly noted.

---

 So children in other countries are more important than our children?

And, any aid we specify to Israel or anyone else should specify what it is for or not be given, INCLUDING Israel. But, Israel is also under Sin. They are blind. They will have their blinders removed in time.

See, there is this THING called PERSONAL responsibility. You know , where mothers and fathers are actually SUPPOSED to take care of their own children. A very quaint and novel concept, I know.

Oh FFS! Stop explaining yourself to liberals. Conservatives do a hell of a lot more to donate and help their community and country and charities. You can thank the Catholic Church for starting many of the hospitals in this country.

Because of piss poor governments who won't let people help themselves. So, yeah, if the Govt was run by men and women with Christian ethics and morals , they wouldn't be third world countries.

 But until then, half the kids can die of malnutrition and malaria and HIV. Because who gives a flip?

Stop having sex and spreading HIV. You know that whole ADULTERY thing and fornication thing? Oh and as for malaria. You can thank liberals for making sure to ban DDT which was HIGHLY effective against that. We don't wanna have any thin eagle shells now do we? Who is the one sacrificing the kids? Um, yeah.

 Good for you. Hopefully you manage to dredge up a few scraps of compassion while you do it, although I remain skeptical. But kids dying of malnutrition and HIV and such, nah, a drain, a waste, etc. If they aren't here, who cares about dead chikdren?

O4 gave you concrete examples on how she helps people. But, if you want to belittle that, then I guess you may.

Yes, 50+ millions have died from malaria when DDT was banned by liberal enviro Whackadoodles. Guess libs will have to find another example. lol

Liberals don't want to get their hands dirty, and they want the government to use everyone's tax money to support causes they are too good to support themselves...

 I supported a program that changed the way they produced sugar in Hondurous, helping make it safer, healthier and more cost effective. I donate blood regularly.  I sponsor a child through world Vision. I regularly  donate to the food shelf, women's shelter, library, and the free community dinners. I put together a basket for the local pregnancy  center, even though they are total loonies. I donated to a local girl that yes, was from a DWB program, although I forget where she was going. 

So get off your high horse. I live in a liberal community,  yet there is plenty of support, love and charity to be found.

 You have a lot of damn nerve.  I can tell you that just about every conservative I know puts their money where their mouth is - supporting pregnancy centers, missions overseas that provide healthcare and education and food, and I personally support all those things plus an orphan in Uganda.  Charity is supposed to be personal - not government mandated.
