Haiti has been “free” from Colonialism and Slavery for over 200 years, longer than any other Western Country.

Of all the North and South American Countries, and the Caribbean, they have the LEAST claim to this cliche.

Does Haiti have ANY remaining natural resources upon which to start building an economy and infrastructure? Or have they used up, cut down and eaten or burned everything there?
The Dominican Republic shares the island? What are they doing right that Haiti is doing wrong?

Haiti needs a spiritual great awakening. It's one thing for the slaves to revolt against their masters and start a new country. It's another thing to have the moral integrity our country inherited from the church movements before us (the 1st and 2nd Great Awakenings). It's available to them just like everybody else.

Unfortunately, the left is doing everything it can to take us away from what's most responsible for making us a great civilization.

Compare Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Two countries, side by side on the same island.

DR is functional, with a per-capita GDP nearly 5 times that of Haiti, while Haiti is not functional.

DR has a critical mass of white people, and mixed race people.
