For the Canadian Red Cross, Christmas came a little late- but it came. I wonder what the salaries of the respective presidents of both countries Red Cross is? At one time the Canadian Poo-Bah, was said to have got over $400,000 annually.

As Churchill once said. "Up with this I will not put".

If, as the MSM is now bleating, as they quote critics vis: An opportunity for the USA to give and give and it will make the Muslims like us, I ask this. Then why is the present attitude of the "world community" ALREADY more kindly disposed? (Reference the late good old Gordon Sinclair).

Enough is enough.

Correction: Then why is the "world community" already NOT MORE kindly disposed. (Sorry).

The US gives, and gives, and gives, and despite all that we've done for the WORLD, people will still envy and hate us. It is a cold hard fact.

In support of Muslims, we spent hundreds of millions arming the Afgans so they could expell the Russians; we attempted to help in Somolia; we intervened in Rwanda;we waged war against the Serbs for them . . .

All who criticize us should factor in the amonut in blood, sweat, tears and time we invest in saving the less fortunate. Flying military planes all over the planet ain't cheap, and the families of those in the planes sacrifice time away from loved ones.

Giving in time of need is still the righteous thing to do -- just make sure you know where money going and how being spent : - ) Don't expect anything in return, but free more than free to voice outrage at the ingreats among us via this forum -- it is cathartic!

Happy New Year to All.
