now all the Red Cross haters with the “my dad told Me” lies that have been propagated since eons ago
Ignorance of the organization breeds lies and contempt
Free Republic is a den of Red Cross lies and propaganda put forth by the un knowing
dear bert,
If you have never dealt with the Red Cross as a G.I., a flood victim, a fire victim, a Katrina survivor, or other natural disaster survivor, then you are seeing things from outside the fence, and hearing what you wish.
I am a Katrina survivor. I have been a fire victim, Cape Cod National Forest, 1960’s. I had to get home from Thailand, 1972. So, i know whereof i speak.
Tell me what the Red Cross CEO makes?
I’ll peg it at 750,000 a year. You tell me why........
This information isn't "my dad told me" lies, it's happened in just the past ten years or so, snd was printed in the newspaper so you can bet if the media could cover it up they would! You can just knock off condemning folks who pass along those "old lies" as you state!
What I can state also for a fact, happened when I was 9 years old: our family home burned and we were without a place to stay. The Red Cross "helped" us find a place to stay (we had to pay cash, of which we were short, as dad got paid each Friday and the fire occurred on a Thursday) and as we only had the clothes on our backs, they sold us toiletries and a few items of clothing, which had all been purchased with donated money from others!
Our church members took care of us after that first night, all without cost for three months while we were without a place to stay!
This is the first time I have ever told anyone about my personal story but you can be certain that I'd never donate one red cent to that awful group!
