If "C" and the violence continues should we provide foreign aid to both so they can purchase an equal number of weapons or just give them an equal number of high tech weapons as well as Egypt and whoever ends up controlling Syria? Why not keep packing powder into all the barrels until it all explodes and nothing is left?

Nothing is always black or white, right or left and good or bad. He made a valid point and your response did not even come close to addressing it.

I have read and heard arguments about federal income tax collection being unconstitutional, but as one of your critics pointed out, the 16th Amendment provides for federally collected income taxes. Of course, if the enumerated powers had listed income tax collection, no one would have needed an amendment to accomplish this. Article One of the main text of the Constitution actually provides for levying taxes. Because income taxes are a subset of taxes, it can legally be argued that no amendment was necessary for Congress to levy and collect income taxes. Sometimes amendments are added to the Constitution as a matter of legislative overkill. A number of amendments could have been avoided if the government properly enforced the equal protection clause of the 14th. Amendment. The argument about the 16th Amendment is that it was never properly ratified. The Supreme Court has twice ruled that it indeed has been.

Sorry that was 10 "BILLION" with an additional 9"Billion" from private investers. According to the U.N., this projects cost will exceed 300 billion. Just read the article, and here's the link.

The White House says Obama’s electricity initiative, dubbed “Power Africa,” symbolizes the type of cross-continent ventures the president seeks. Backed by $7 billion in U.S. investment, the power program will focus on expanding access to electricity in six African countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania.

Be sure their citizens are given Absentee Voting forms so they can help elect another Dim-ocrat in the next Presidential election.

Right. But universal electricity access to sub-Saharan Africa is not the goal of the present White House initiative.

I have to agree of course. The nearly 20 billion being commited would in no way sufice. As you've read, as I have, the number of 300 billion was from A U.N. agency. Now let me ask, who do you think usualy gets the tab for U.N. funding? This is nothing more than sticking a toe in the door jam to keep the door from shutting.

At least a sort of African REA is an altruistic cause. We give close to twice that much every year to Israel for the purpose of murdering Palestinians and stealing their land.

Reagan had more reason to be aRepublican than to appease Nancy. He always understood the authoritarian point of view more than that of the ordinary man. Even as president of the Screen Actor's Guild he cooperated with the McCarthy purges, instead of shielding actors from the witch hunts. By the time he won the presidency Reagan had no traces of Democratic spirit flowing through his veins. He was a quintessentially big government, big spending Republican, who spewed anti-government rhetoric, even as he pushed the government to record breaking spending sprees, while reducing taxes on the plutocracy, showering billions on big corporations, deregulating everything he could, excusing corporate rape of the environment, and busting unions for them. democrats then and now, while actually supporting much of the above, have not told the victims that the oppression was actually good for them.

It is interesting that you claim to know more about Reagans motivation that he did. In his biography he says in plain English that he changed parties simply to win Nancy. As far as his tenure with the screen actors guild; that has noting to do with anything.

As a President, Reagan was a big spender and deregulated a number of things. He was against big government and for private enterprise. You may disagree but we have been living with a true big government, big spending, private enterprise hating administration for the past four years. Where has it gotten us?

As far as your contention that he supported the "corporate rape of the environment", that is just nonsense. Supporting the ability of private business to grow, prosper and provide jobs for the people of this country is hardly a support of "rape of the environment." A single President, no matter what his party, does not have the power to radically change the environment within his term. He allowed more drilling on Federal land than any other President but where is the damage? If what he did had caused any long term damage to the environment we would have heard about it over and over again, but we haven't. He tried to dismantle the EPA. You would first have to assume the EPA is a good thing to find a problem with that. Many people find the EPA worthy of being dismantled.

Historically the Democratic party has been the conservative party and the Republicans the liberals. At some point after the Reagan era they switched goals. Reagan was a true Democrat in every sense.

BTW, cake, to Marie Antoinette, was not a confection. It is the hardened grease and soot found at the bottom of wood burning stoves. She was even nastier than most people think.

Sounds a lot like people on this site huh.

You should read all the facts before you make dumb racist comments. Obama is not giving any money to anyone. "Obama phones" as some people call them was a program started during the bush years.But a lot of what's said on here is not true and people just buy into it. Yea the hell with the rest of the world or anyone else who is poor huh? Hell they aren't any worth helping because they love getting free two or three hundred dollar welfare check right a month. Why work when you can live in squalor for free.if you're poor at least you get a free phone right,who needs food, or clothes or health care. Yes that's the christian way.

Actually, as long as they keep electric lines off the Serengeti, I'm all for it. We have a responsibility to help bring 3rd World countries into modern times. Electricity will not only be used for households, but to power machinery and agricultural tools.

I did fall one time and hit my head. That could be it. Otherwise it is due to being exposed to 3rd world countries during a 30 year military career. Maybe it stems from seeing folks eat food with one hand because they wipe their ass with the other. Maybe its because I saw people starving and procreating at the same time. Maybe it's because I've seen countries cleaning the gene pool with machetes just because of race, culture, beliefs without a shred of remorse and now we want to spend billions on them? I'm sorry I'm a racist then but won't change. How many years have they had to advance into the current century yet they still can't for some reason. How about we feed them or teach them to grow crops and stop having children before we hit them with electricity?
And with all you've seen,you have learned nothing. I am glad that racist selfish people such as this are a dying breed, and that a younger generation of people are emerging. And this new generation of people will be multitude of races,and genders and lesbian,gay or whatever. Then people like you will be gone from the face of the earth and this will be a better world.
You bleeding hearts really give me a laugh.

And, as stated, you don't like a chat subject, stay out of the chat with your iron clad goody two shoe views. Get into the real world without the kaleidoscope of pretty colors all warm and fuzzy and see things as they are. Children naked with more flies on them than the cows or goats. There is a lot more we can do for them, rather than our own country than giving them electricity.
