Hey at least he is doing something. The hollywood folks have definitely stepped up. Conservatives have done nothing. We have to give cudos when they are earned and Hollywood has certainly put their money where their mouth is. Rush has sent how much money???? What about Beck??? O’Reilly? Oh ZERO. Come on much to complain about but not doing good things. Travolta has given cash along with this strange stuff.
People who really give charitably don’t do it for the publicity. Hollywood is all about publicity so they always tout their own generosity. True charity is done without strings and without fanfare. You have no idea whether these guys have given or not because they have no obligation to report it.
Part of donating is not announcing to the world that you ARE donating.
It’s called humility.
Just because they do not crow about their charitable givings, does not mean they are not donating. What business is it of yours anyway.
I’m sure there are many working behind the scenes. I believe O’Reilly already stated he gave regularly prior to the earth quake and urged people to contribute. I heard Bill Frist is going to volunteer his medical services. As I said, I’m sure there are alot more working behind the scenes. Conservatives dont advertise their charitable donations or look for that pat on the back.
As Jesus said: “But when you give alms, do not know let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.”
If charity is public, the great temptation is to do it for show. Do it privately - the more privately the better.
I hope you're not serious. Introducing Haitians to the criminal cult of Scientology is not "help".
Rush has sent how much money???? What about Beck??? O’Reilly? Oh ZERO.
Interesting that you have this direct knowledge of their personal finances. You must be very close to them.
I beg to differ.
As a good conservative, I have faithfully paid my taxes...which have in turn, been hijacked and given to the United Nations (turns head and spits) and all manner of other do-good crooks, er, uh, rescuers, yeah, that's it, rescuers, who, whilst providing some relief, are damned guilty of lining their own individual pockets first.
Of course, my efforts are eclipsed by that great humanitarian, Barack Hussein Obama, His Great Self, who has ordered up the printing by the US Mint of bazillions of more dollars to air drop to the people of Haiti.
Meanwhile, I am also performing a lot of public service on my own.
For instance, I am sitting here as we speak, so to speak, and agonizing over the decisions our Great President must make in regards to this tragedy.
Damn! I just bit my tongue!
Anyway:
The hollywood folks have definitely stepped up.
Oh, yes.
And isn't it big of them to pledge money that they made off the poor dumb asses that paid to see their stupid movies?
You do know that there are some folks that give quietly, without fanfare, and do so with a definite desire not to be recognized or publicized for their actions, simply because they do it from their heart and not from their "future investment portfolio"?
>>Rush has sent how much money???? What about Beck??? O’Reilly?<<
Just because they don’t put it up for Kudos doesn’t mean they haven’t given a thing. And if they haven’t, so what? It’s a free country and maybe helping Haiti isn’t their cup of tea.
“Conservatives have done nothing”
How do you know this? You made the assertion, you back it up!
Waiting for your response.
Really? No conservatives anywhere have done anything to help? How do you know this? Are you omniscient? Do you believe you are God?
