Hey, everybody just stay out of haiti!!
I am sick of pouring in billions to these God forsaken hell holes run by con men called “Leaders”...we give and give and the people get worse and worse and then hate us anyways.
I would not mind IF—and that is a big IF==we could control how and where the $$ goes. But we can’t.
so Graham and Palin going down there doesn’t impress me one bit...might as well be Clinton.
Who let the grinch on here?
They are going to provide aid to people, not the bloody government. It’s an act of Christian Charity, Scrooge. They’re financing this with money that was freely given, not tax money, and not your money.
Bless your dark little heart anyway.

Hey hippie, Christians aren’t called to help only the poor people who “deserve it” or as long as they don’t “hate us.”
Jesus said to help them PERIOD.
As a matter of fact he said to be especially kind to your enemies.
Haiti is full of very nice people.
Unfortunately, the poor (about 80% of Haitians) support whatever socialist/fascist/scammer promises them an end to grinding poverty.
And even the best of Haiti’s leaders have to deal with corruption on a massive scale. If Haiti could cut the corruption by 70-80%, and respect private property, their land is highly fertile and they would be able to export enough food and lumber to support themselves, and build up over time like Hong Kong or Singapore.
Good thing their purpose for going isn't to impress you....not one bit.
I would agree with you if you limited it to our government needs to stay out of Haiti.
But I disagree with you if you are saying (and I think you are) that others shouldn’t try to help them. I have no problem with people chosing to give their money to assist the poor as long as it is their money.
Haiti isn’t God-forsaken. They have a need and a hunger for the love and forgiveness only available through Jesus Christ. More Christians need to go.
Graham heads the group Samaritan’s Purse, an excellent humanitarian and disaster relief organization. They do great work...it does not warrant your disparagement. You are fortunate not to have been born there and gotten stuck in this situation of indescribable suffering - and get someone over here sitting at their computer saying “who cares about them?” If you want to “control the money” then donate to Samaritan’s Purse. It would even be a tax write off.

Right on! recovering Ex-hippie. Haiti is a perfect example of how socialist/war lords create misery and death. Go across the river into the Dominican Republic and it’s like paradise by comparison - yet same ‘geography’ and ‘demographic’ but the difference is only in the form of gov’t. Very similar to Milton’s comparison of Japan and India after WWII.
Best would be to hand over the whole island to the Dominicans and let them restore rule of law and private property on the other side of the river.
