As for giving money to other countries I don't like it because we wouldn't get the same in a time of need but the majority of philanthropy is done outside of government...
Just out of curiosity, what news station do you generally watch? What op/ed pieces do you read? What newspapers/magazines do you read? I feel they are giving you a lot of spin, propaganda, and incorrect truths which is skewing your thoughts.

As far as magazines go I read Bloodhorse, DRF Simo Weekly and The Horseman which is a Harness Racing magazine. Newspapers I occasionally read the local paper where I live at which is near Houston,TX. I also enjoy listening to Glen Beck and Bill O'Reilly on Sirius along with ATRAB. Also I enjoy the fact that Sirius now has a feed of TVG on it when not pre empted by basketball. I also love listening to Howard Stern.
