You folks are cheering Japan's decision to take care of its citizens first.


But you wanna keep spending billions to defend Japan, Korea, Europe... and you agree with keeping Americans heavily invested in Middle Eastern conflicts that cost trillions.


So give it a rest.

Well, the original Nazis dug the Japanese, so it's no surprise the new ones would idolize them too.

Fk no. Canada and Mexico don't have "fleeing refugees" or conflict. We have plenty of problems of our own country.

By the way I certainly don't mind helping someone if they are truly making an effort to better themselves. Mexico is happy to export their poor onto the US while they do nothing to help stabilize the country.

Not me. I think we should either leave or charge them for services rendered.
That said I can respect taking care of your own first. What I don't respect is allowing ourselves to be used as sugar daddy to the world.
The guys who are all for helping refugees and cuddling illegals, but don't seem to care about our own homeless.

Yeah, you say that here, but if we take care of Americans first, you'll holler "socialism."

Help Americans get back on their feet, not depend on the .gov teet.

Show me a post of mine where I don't advocate taking care of our homeless. Show me a post where I advocate to use our military to defend other countries.
You can search all of my posts. I never advocate for foreigners before Americans.
I do believe that we need more over sight on our government programs. Everything from the EPA through defense. There is a lot of waste.
I say this on every thread that talks about immigration, refugees, military spending etc.
