How many times have you heard that from right-wingers over at least the last two decades?
I can't count the number of times I've heard it. That's how MANY of today's conservative Republicans truly feel, in their heart of hearts.
Suddenly, per Romney, they care about the lives of people in the Middle East and other countries where people have darker skin pigmentation.
What a despicable joke. They don't care about people in other countries. Hell, they don't care about half of the people in THIS country. They surely don't want to keep sending aid there (that had to really chap their collective ass when Romney talked about increasing aid).
Ever since Obama was elected, Limbaugh & Co have convinced The Dittohead Nation that they're not the ones who are racist bigots. No, no...they've been brainwashed into denouncing their core worldview...a worldview they've been proud of for as long as I can remember...and instead they now deny they're racist bigots and accuse liberals of being the ones who are racist bigots.
Okie dokie then.
But we know the truth. They want to turn the Middle East into a parking lot. That's how they really feel and what they've been saying for decades.
They're not going to be able to maintain this facade of rationality and decency much longer. The just want to blow much of the world up. That's their true foreign policy.
Unfortunately, it's their domestic policy as well. Blow it all up and get the Kenyan, Muslim, Socialist, Commie -- aka Black Man -- out of The White House.
The American Taliban is alive and well.

OOPS there is a world wide economic depression the Strait of Hormuz was closed too long. Just cannot get around it no matter how bloody minded there is no potential benficial outcome. As of now the solution seems to be Iran will not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. I do not have a better solution every day they are not killing each other and having genocide is a good day. I know there are still a lot of bad days
