After sometimes-heated debate Tuesday over U.S. aid to Colombia next year, the Republican-controlled House fought back repeated efforts by Democrats to scale back funding. Through several amendments, opponents had sought to shift money from the Andean anti-drug initiative to health programs. The big question centered on the amount of money U.S. taxpayers should be shelling out to Colombia's armed forces. Snipped Home Comment Email Register Recent Comments Help |

| > Rep. Mark Souder, R-Ind., argued that the United States owed it to Colombia to help because American drug consumers were largely responsible for its woes. To find out who is most responsible for Colombia's woes, Souder need not look any further than a mirror that he, Mica, Barr, Hatch and his other ultra-fascist cronies are looking into. The Demos aren't much better, but at least they sometimes fight on the side of reason in issues such as this. >"What we don't want to do here today in misguided compassion, is to turn the clock back on our efforts to stem illegal narcotics," said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. If it were possible to turn the clock back to a time before overzealous politicians guided by racism initiated this whole "illegal drugs" mess, it would be the most compassionate thing anyone could do! Oh, I forgot. "Compassion" isn't in the average drug warrior's vocabulary. [ Post Comment ] |
