This is an outrage! Our country is broke. And can you imagine what the ACLU and others on the secular left would say if these monies had been spent to repair Christian churches? They would be screaming "separation of church and state!" Funding Islam on foreign soil with American taxpayer money? Not a whimper.
The latest taxpayer givaway includes $76,000 for a 16th century mosque in China, $67,000 for a mosque in Pakistan, $77,000 to restore minarets in Nigeria and Mauritania, and $50,000 for an Islamic Monument in India.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the U.S. program to restore Islamic and other cultural sites in other countries is taxpayer money well spent.

Let me try to put this in perspective for you Nemisis- The amount of money the federal government spends (mostly on war and war production) is a pile of sand the size of Pike Peak, while 6 million dollars is a single grain of sand...Can you understand that? I'm I gettin through to ya? A billion is a lot bigger than a million and a trillion is a whole lot bigger!
Yea but the last time I did Hillbilly math I learned that if you add a lot of thousands together you get millions and if you add a bunch of millions together you eventually get a billion and if you add all those billions together by gosh by golly you eventually get - what!! A Hillbilly TRILLION! But I guess if Hillary says it's good then by gosh sign me up!! BURP!!

Let's see.....how many HOT BUTTON words were in that "article" and how many did you respond to....
Well, you get an A double plus FER SURE for picking up on HILLARY....
But you missed a bunch....

ACLU

Christian churches
Funding Islam

But of course the one you DID get is AB SO LuT Lee gar-n-TEED to get a reaction...

I wonder how many of you are familiar with the concept of "keyword stuffing"? The "hot button stuffing" contained in this "article" would get it bumped by Google as an obvious attempt at manipulation of the search engine results. It's the same sort of tactic used by porn spammers.
AMAZING some of you can't see through it....you just react to it like Pavlov's little doggies.

You know AV, if you replaced the screen-name of this poster with one of 3 or 4 'others' on this board, you nor I probably would not know the difference... at least they are consistent from poster to poster.... almost seems, well, um, 'scripted'....
