Never look a gift horse in the mouth, they say, though when Mayor Bill de Blasio is on hand, the other end of the animal is usually involved.
Gotham’s chief executive this week might have accepted with some grace an offer of assistance from a crisis-tested, and devoutly Christian, emergency-relief organization — but he gave it the fisheye instead.
It seems that in Blasville, evangelical Christians armed with tons of the sophisticated medical equipment so sorely lacking in the city right now, plus the expertise to use it, are presumptively suspect. And are perhaps to be expelled.
Thus it was with Samaritan’s Purse, the unapologetically fundamentalist rolling rescue squad perhaps best known for the Ebola clinics it established in West and Central Africa over the past decade.
And, of course, for its traditionalist views on homosexuality and same-sex marriage — neither of which the group has much patience for. And that’s to put it mildly.

Like I said before, what would be a hoot is if Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse were to do what the Lord said to do when people do not want to hear the Word: very publicly shake the dust of NYC from their clothes and shoes while telling them: even the dust of your city we shake off against you but know this: your blood is no longer on our hands and the Lord will have more mercy on the people of Sodom and Gomorrah than He will you
Take it with a grain of salt .... geniuses are finally going to clean up the subway.
What approach would that be—in through the back door?
Franklin Graham brought his hospital developed for use in the third world and erected it in Central Park in record time
All the governors horsemen and all the mayors men just stood around and watched.
So this article is a month old. Was Graham’s hospital used at all in the month since then?
Again, where’s the apology to Ted Cruz for his “New York Values” excoriation?
More like “Oh no, those Christians will show what true love and tolerance are - hating what some people do, but loving them enough to help them anyway...”
And they are the only field hospital willing to take covid patients. all the rest refused them. Even the navy ships initially refused covid patients until they got one accidentally. Those horrible christians. /s
