I don't see the problem with it because it's true, especially Haiti.  I think we have a couple of States that are crapholes, too.  I'm sure somebody will come along and set me straight on that soon....

maybe a wrong choice of words, but what the hell.  At least he speaks his mind and doesn't try to be PC about everything.  I'll take brutal honesty any day as opposed to fakes like his predecessor.

If you are brave enough to try, take a tour of many of the crime ridden inner cities (yeah those Democratic bastions of hope and change) and you'll see sh**holes.

Those developing countries never reach fruition. The best they can achieve is France.

IRRC the island of Hispanola has two countries on it.  One is developing, the other is Haiti.
