Haitians might arrive at Tampa
The Tampa Tribune ^ | January 17, 2010 | Howard Altman

Posted on 01/17/2010 5:40:31 PM PST by 4Runner

Haitian evacuees may soon be flying into Tampa International Airport.

Tampa and other Florida airports are on "stand-by" alert to receive evacuees as part of a massive effort to help the earthquake-ravaged nation, said airport spokeswoman Brenda Geoghagan.

Airport officials anticipate only a two-hour advance notice of aircraft arrival before being able to implement operating procedures - triage mode or passenger processing mode.

Evacuees may be healthy or in need of medical attention, she said in a media release. And some Haitians may have friends or family in the United States and need connecting air service or assistance and a place to stay.

You know who will push their way to the front of the line to get on an airplane here. It won’t be an 11 year old orphan or a middle-aged university professor.

I am in the same boat you are. The how bothers me big time.
I keep watching the movie “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson and thinking how they must have felt back in 1776.

The way we are feeling now is very similar. That in itself scares me big time. Its almost Hugh and Series.LOL.

If all we Freepers were in the same place , armed and victualed, I would feel all whole lot better. We are spread out all over the place.

Not to mention the VAST billions of dollars that will be laundered through this “crisis.” Haiti was going to be the new money hunny jar anyway. This just makes it ever so much easier.
You know, I have compassion for these people. NONE of this is truly their fault. They have been beat and HELD down so long that I don’t know if they could ever have gotten out from under it. It is truly diabolical what has been done to those people.
They have been kept like rats in a laboratory to be used in experiments, while the very wealthy have acted as if an entire population of human beings did not exist.
Every time I see Bill Clinton with his frigging crocodile tears, I want to shoot my TV. Same with Somalia.
Haiti was going to be the last stop for the billions upon billions that have been looted from the US Treasury. This has only made it that much harder to trace ANY of it.
obama and clinton must be jumping for joy.

Interesting word, on that I've never heard before, thanks for the enlightenment!.

The Haitians will be used one more time. When they find out, I am not so sure they will vote for Obama and deliver Florida for him.

Well it all depends on who sees this game afoot. The state of Florida may have a lot to say about this yet.

They’re nasty, savages. There is no way in hell I would drive through Little Haiti at night. Beasts prowl there. They ruined part of Miami, now they want to do make Miami worse and ruin Tampa, Jacksonville, etc. Send them some to Christ’s neighborhood, the rest to DC and Chicago. Obongo’s house in Chi town is empty for 3 years. I’m sure 50 families would be very comfortable there. They are used to cramped living quarters.

Thanks for the ping, Candor7.

All I can do is shake my head. I think we all kinda expected this to happen if we’re honest with ourselves. More voters for BO.

Obama’s plan is simple..get White, conservative voters to migrate out of Florida.
