If you can call holding fundraisers for the Clintons liberal. /s
How do YOU presume to know what is in Sarah’s heart...if you are not basing your presumption on her past actions of speaking for no fees and often NO PRESS ALLOWED at events all over this country for pro-life causes, veteran causes and medical causes. Especially for downs syndrome, which one of her children experiences? Are actions NEVER louder than suspicions in your world?
Well said !

How do YOU?
I feel the same way about any celebrity who swoops in to a disaster zone, gets a few pictures then lifts out within hours.
Matthew Six, 1-4...
1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Are you REALLY saying this?
Do you believe that Jesus Christ would be against charities that advertise their needs in order to gain support for their cause?
Come on now.
When SARAH or FRANKLIN start boasting, let me know.
And please answer my question-how do you know Sarah's heart if you refuse to take into account her past actions on behalf of charitable causes? What do you base it on? What you think she wants? Or what she has shown she believes in by her past actions? Twitter and facebook would have been bragging, no? Showing the mass suffering is a completely different ball game.
Me too.
Hey, argue with the bible about it...
Hope I will never have to do that. I think a good heart is pretty darn easy to spot.
The problem is that you create an “either/or” premise. The fact that Palin is visiting to support Reverend Graham's Charity does not somehow eliminate a shipment of supplies to Haiti.
I'm sure the transportation provided to Graham and Palin, (plane, helicopter, vehicle), was not taken from another Charity that was donating the Relief Supplies you referred to. One good deed does not cancel out another.
P>_____________________________________
No, I'm sure it wasn't. I've made a bunch of trips to Haiti since the quake, some on commercial, some on private planes out of Florida. On the private flights every pound counts. An extra passenger means that the amount of medicine carried is diminished by that person's weight. Add three un-necessary passengers and you create a significant drop in the amount of life-saving supplies on that flight.
A few have scoffed at my number of tens of thousands of water purification tablets but that is what could have been on the plane instead. And, I know this from personal experience, water purification is a number one life-saving priority there. How do you think cholera spreads? Through drinking contaminated water.
