I did....nickle is all I had......

It's your money to do with as you will. I can' blame yu for your feelings, I felt the same after teh looting & rescuers getting shot at.

That said, I think your red/blue state divisionism is misplaced. I'm sure there are good conservatives devastated by this disaster.

Yes, you are wrong, and you know it, or else you wouldn't be asking the question and searching for validation.

What the hell are you taking about...Validation?
I don't donate my hard earned cash for someone to approve of my motivations!..I give because I care!

I want to give to charities who will actually help the needy, not to organizations who will use the donations to try to destroy the things that I beleive are morally necessary to human survival.

Validation has nothing to do with anything!

Opinions are welcome, validations are not!

(psst...Go 'all in'.)

I did....nickle is all I had......

I can't even play if you're gonna have stakes that high.

[Squantos]

LOL......

We give and we will always give. We give because we don't care about thanks or even if they "deserve" it. That's why we get to wear the white hats. We didn't exterminate Germans, we didn't massacre Japanese. We don't pop some sarin in the housing projects because we value our humanity more than they do.
I would sooner die with honor than make myself into what I am fighting against. It applies in the war on evil, suffering and liberalism (redundant, I know)as much as it applies in any war. I have to assume that your premise is either caused by a momentary lapse or just a self-conscious post to get discussion going.

You know what they say happens when we ASSUME...But you are probably correct on both counts. Maybe we should all do our homework a little more thoroughly before giving generously to useless organisations when our contributions could be more wisely used by charities who truely want to help the real cause instead of falling prey to our base emotions.

Give to the Salvation Army and you will know your money will be well spent. Just give generally, that's what I did after 9/11, since I knew the money was flooding in then (no pun, oops!), so I said they should spend the small amount I sent them in whatever way they thought was best. I did send money to the Firemen in NYC, but I still told them the same thing.

I never got the choice whether to donate or not. The federal government just up and seized a large portion of my income and decided to give it away to subsidize people who never had that much to begin with and also to subsidize work for illegal aliens that I don't want here anyway.

So I can understand where you're coming from on this. If Blanco and Nagin aren't going to be accountable for their actions, why participate in relieving them of the consequences?

[Neoliberalnot]

I think it is expected that when you extend the olive branch to liberal RATS they will sharpen the stick to stab you in the back. I did send down a 100 and told me wife if we can send a hundred bucks to victims of a natural disaster shouldn't we do something for the families of soldiers killed in action?? At least a like amount. Who has made the greater sacrifice--the answer is obvious. I understand there are higher education funds for children of those soldiers KIA--can anyone tell me which is the best?? I need your advice here freepers.
