I am going to pray for you Huck. I'm being serious. I'm not a saint but I think you need some prayer.
I think some people just think they have to prove how "conservative" they are, and (for some reason I can't begin to understand) they think the way to do that is to behave as though they don't give a damn about anybody.
My guess is, when Mr. Rubber meets Mr. Road, a lot of those folks would give the shirt off their backs to help a fellow American in a situation like this.
In other words, it's all talk. At least I hope it is. Call me optimistic.
