Perhaps it is also time to revisit their sins of 5 months ago.

To put things in perspective, this is the same Red Cross who just last month trooped off to Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo to investigate mistreatment of Al Qaeda prisoners making sure that they had ethnically sensitive meals, prayer rugs, clean clothes, and cigarettes.

It's perfectly clear what global sector the American Red Cross has embraced as its "international" buddy.

No wonder the Red Cross cannot allow the non-Muslim lyrics of "God Bless the USA" to insult the Islamic sensibilities of its twin sister organization in the charity game.

The Koran specifically forbids these "God" references to any name but Allah.

The Red Cross has deep concerns over the acceptability of the word "God" sung by American children--yet the Red Cross is voicing very grave concerns over the Gitmo living conditions of the Muslim terrorists who attacked America.

The American Red Cross has made its position crystal clear--it has chosen Allah over God.

Makes you wonder where they think that cross came from.

I shall refrain from offending the Red Cross in any way. I will do so by placing my God-given lifeblood in a personal blood bank and by refusing to abuse the Red Cross' sensibilities by sending anything with the word "God" on it, for example; "In God we Trust".

I shall thusly tolerate the Red Cross' understanding of "Tolerance".

When the head of the Orange County Red cross said that the Declaration of Independence is a political document and it may offend some! Doesn't this mellon head know that the Declaration of Independence is the foundation of our country? Damn her, and damn the Red cross

The Red Cross has come under increasing scrutiny during the last six months.  When it was discovered that they were not going to spend all the
donations related to 09/11 on victims of that event, reaction from the public and government influenced them to change their mind.

Last night CBS Sixty-Minutes made a presentation that sought to claim this wasn't the first time the Red Cross had tried to use donated funds on unrelated activities.  Those who listen to this real audio file will hear a report that sounds a lot like the events surrounding the 09/11 fund.

Click on the link for the audio from last nights Sixty-Minutes' Report.  LINK

There's a little background noise on this.  Sorry about that.

The dispute centers only on our sensitivity to religious diversity, and a preference for a music program that would be inclusive and not offend different populations participating in this particular event".

Um ...do you mean AMERICANS???

Perhaps someone should sue the Red Cross, since their very symbol may be offensive to non-Christians.

They had better change their name then, because the CROSS is the main symbol of Christianity.

Maybe we should email O'Reilly about this--he did much to expose the Red Cross 9-11 money scandals!

The Red Cross has the right to run their org as they see fit.

And I have the right and I choose NOT to send ANY of my Money to them ever again! First the 9-11 fiasco and now this. I pray they go under and yield to a new organization (s).

Ya...the "DEAD CROSS" should remove the Red Cross symbol from all that is attached to their organization.
It will not be long...you will here a siren..and look..then a white van will streak by with the words "GHIA" on it...maybe a picture of a "Buddist monk" seated with an outstreched hand..symbolizing ..Begging for funds..and help from the Universe!
