Oh...got it...nevermind....I just kinda got on a jag there.
I’m not wishing added hardship — just pointing out that if they want the government to look after them (good luck with that), they should not be surprised if there are few private donations.
Maybe I mixed you in with the rest of the haters by accident, my apologies.
No problem. I’m feeling like you probably are today, in a bit of a surreal funk. Got a pretty short fuse where the moocher class that put this fool back in office is concerned.
let them freeze.. where is your obama now?
give to the salvation army..I always do. red cross has raised so much $$ in the last week and it will never go to help all the people in NY/NJ
“Really. I’m all out of compassion. I could give a hoot in hell what happens to NYC, NJ LA, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, etc.
As long as those “folks” keep voting for liberal, welfare state politicians to lead them, they get what they deserve.”
+1, Ditto.
Where are all of the union thugs? They ran off the people who showed up to help! Sorry NY/NJ....
The people of whom you speak are destroying America....... At some point it must be realized they are not Americans.
They have degenerated into quasiEuropeans.
That doesn’t justify comments wishing hardship, death, etc. on anyone, conservatives should be better than that.
In your mindset, we should then hope for an earthquake in Ohio or Colorado, a tornado in Iowa, a tsunami in Florida - those are the folks that put 0bama back in office, their votes actually counted in both elections that installed 0bama in office - both republicans and independents in those states are responsible.
Our real enemies are the media, Hollywood, the music industry and many companies like GE, GM, Chrysler, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Goldman Sachs, UBS, the Unions and many others that heavily support 0bama.
We had bad flooding here in 2007 and again in 2008.
Red Cross has Comfort Packs (toiletries/space blanket) and water. You had to go pick it up. We are rural and the roads were impassable for 2 days.
FEMA showed up a week later and set up tables in the Ag Center store, where you could apply for disaster loans, if you had no insurance. Local EMO showed up after 4 days and just asked about damage and looked at things.
We donated to RC after 9-11 and then learned how it was misused. We donate to SA. We had water available for neighbors who had lost their wells.
Every local weather event, we all take care of ourselves and always have. It is difficult to band together, at first, since people are 1/4—1/2 mile apart and phones go down.
As for fellow Americans, the gay daughter of a dear friend posted on her mother’s FB account that if the marriage referendum in MN passed, she had a “punch in the nose” available for everyone who didn’t vote her way. Another conservative friend’s NYS daughter posted pro-0 campaign talking points to everyone’s FB. They have no compassion or respect for even their own parents.
You can all draw your own conclusions.
The people experiencing hardships are precisely the people that created the enemies you listed. they can not be separated from their handiwork
Are you surprised? I’m not. FR is just like thr rest of society in that there will always be a number of fools, chest~thumpers and little men. I suggest that you treat them like you would any asshole you might encounter in the real world...
