FOREIGNERS FIRST
Vox Day proves Republicans and Democrats put American interests last

The Senate approved the six-month spending resolution to keep the government funded early Saturday morning. The vote was 62-30, with 10 Republicans voting with the Democratic majority and only one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin (W.V.), voting against. The vote took place after the upper chamber came to an agreement on other votes, including Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-Ky.) bill to end foreign aid to Egypt, Libya, Pakistan and Yemen unless they met certain conditions. … Paul had been filibustering the Senate for days, delaying action by requiring the maximum amount of time be spent on each vote until he got a vote on his own bill, which failed, 10-81. Numerous Republican senators stood up in opposition to Paul’s bill, calling it dangerous and irresponsible, especially to Israel.
Keep in mind that this vote took place 11 days after the U.S. ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, was murdered along with three other U.S. diplomats in Libya. The federal government is sending money that it doesn’t have to declared and undeclared enemies alike, to countries that Barack Obama has openly declared are not U.S. allies, while simultaneously refusing to re-enact the Bush tax cuts because the country supposedly cannot afford them.
Think about it. Four-fifths of the United States Senate, the majority of both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, are more concerned with sending taxpayer money – or worse, borrowed money that future taxpayers will eventually have to repay, with interest – to four foreign countries than to permit increasingly stressed taxpayers to keep it in the worst economy in nearly 80 years. And worse, they are openly claiming to do so in the Israeli national interest instead of the American one.
[...]
To continue to pay protection money to the governments of the Ummah is in the interest of neither Americans nor Israelis. The payoffs are only in the material and temporal interests of those governments, of the global jihad, and of the cowardly politicians who wish to leave the challenge of the great conflict of civilizations to their successors.
