AZantlerhead Report post Posted January 16, 2010 Not sure to post this under memorials,prayers, or political??? I'm sure everyone has heard of the Earthquake in Haiti by now. They are saying 150, 000 people are presummed dead and missing. That is a stagering number of people to be called upon by the Lord all at once. They say food and water/shelter is just not there.....after four days? I understand were doing our best though.... America has given thier govt. 100 million, the citizens say " where is it". We have given them 3+ billion in the last few years as well. More money for them in the works too.... And illegals granted amnesty for 18m....... Their christian/catholic nation was still in shambles and extreme Poverty and had very little , very suppresed by their govt.. Why? And now this..... A horrific Tragedy for their nation.... Our Soldiers are basically being police there to keep the peace and hand out supplies as they arrive. 10,000+soliers in the next week. Once again America will save the Day for another country in ruins and unreast. Why is it when these things happen anywhere in the world, America allways takes over with money and law and order and rebuilding. We are still the greatest Nation, that is why. We are so Blessed here...Why do we allways get a bad rep from the world..... I hear russia is only sending 1 plane with one load of cargo? China- a measly 5mil? They say private individual charity donations from Americans will top 100mill as well for haiti. No- Obastard is still a liar, thief and sissyfied left winger-Greedy mongrel with no papers & bad intentions for Americans and the worst pesident we've ever had,Just in 1 year!!!!! Pardon the french, My freedom of speech! I hope we can oust him in three years, or put him on trial and fire his butt soon!! Mc and palin shoulda got it . They are a good people.. I hope our money/Soldiers will get they're country rebuilt & maybe kick they're govt. butt in gear to enpower their citizens and actually be ther for them as a govt. should be, and give them the money instead of some big wigs bank account. Thoughts and prayers to the Haitians..... Thank God We live here, America has seen better times- but we can still say that, Hopefully that can still be said after our Coward in cheif is done with us....

Coues79 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 I'm glad we are helping when someone else needs the help. It kills me to see infants and toddlers that have been orphaned, hurt, limbs ripped off or whatever else could've happened. They are people too, just like us, living, breathing and loving just the same way that we do. To see the private sector donate so much funding to the aid is humbling. America is a great Nation and will hopefully get on the right track in a few years (3). Great things can come from terrible tragedies. God Bless those that are innocent, let justice be served to the wicked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tjhunt2 Report post Posted January 16, 2010 I just can't imagine the devastation the people of Haiti are going through. I'm sure the pictures don't show all and thoughts and prayers go out to the people who have been affected by the earth quake. Some of you might have seen, on tv, where you can donate $10 thru your phone bill. It might not sound like much but if everyone in the country donated it would be a substantial amount of aid. Peg and I did our part and I hope each and everyone can find it in their hearts to do the same. TJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues Sniper Report post Posted January 16, 2010 It's a terrible situation for sure. I may end up down there as I am a member of the NV Task Force 1 FEMA Team as a Structures Specialist. Our team is way down the rotation line this month, but if rescue/recovery procedures continue (which more than likely will due to politics going on) our team will get deployed. I'll share with folks here if I go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
