I'm someone who is losing their home.. thanks Obama... this is great!
I don't expect to be bailed out but it's ridiculous that the government would send a huge amount of money to other countries like this... when people here need it... not to mention the debt this country is in... wtf?!
And the ACLU would have had a fit if the money had gone to Christian churches... but then again this country seems to be full of double standards like that... when are they going to realize you can't buy their affection? Maybe they can for a moment but not for long...
In the end it just makes us look more like stupid Americans... awesome!!
Research the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation.
"This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.
Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000.
The contributions include $76,135 for the 16th century Grand Mosque in Tongxin, China, and $67,500 for the 18th century Golden Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan. An additional $62,169 will be spent on restoring a 19th century minaret in Mauritania's ancient city of Tichitt; $50,437 for the Sundarwala Burj, a 16th century Islamic Monument in New Delhi, and $15,450 to restore the 18th century Gobarau Minaret in Katsina, Nigeria.
The amount spent on mosque restoration projects is a fraction of the total in the 2010 Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation, which also will fund projects to restore Christian and Buddhist sites as well as museums, forts and palaces.
Since 2001, the U.S. government has spent almost $26 million on the program to fund about 640 cultural preservation projects in more than 100 countries.
"The fund has demonstrated America's respect for the world's cultural heritage," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said last month in announcing the 2010 projects. "Cultural heritage serves as a reminder of historical experiences and achievements of humanity. Ancient structures and objects offer important lessons for us today."
1. People can't handle their children.
2. The justice system is a joke - unless you get caught j-walking or something like that.
3. Drug use is the #1 industry
4. The majority of America don't understand the word liberty.
5. The government is throwing the nation into bankrupcy.
The list could go on and on and you all don't care. You don't deserve to live in this country.
