The moment I heard of the devastating earthqauke in Haiti, my wife and I lit a candle, which is still burning. However, I was appalled (as I always am) at the forum at Fox News which is entitled "How Much Longer Will America Be Able to Ride to the Rescue?"
In it, the author states:
Once again, America will rush in -- with food aid, with temporary shelters, with emergency services. The American military may even will "invade" temporarily -- with rescue and recovery efforts, water purification facilities, infrastructure rebuilding equipment.
America’s rush to come to the aid of the world’s most disadvantaged nations once disaster strikes is so routine it’s taken for granted -- whether it’s a tsunami in Thailand or an earthquake in Ecuador.
What's more appalling are the comments and the politicizing of the tragedy. Have these people no shame or human decency?
Here are some of the comments.
they should just vaporize PortauPrince by dropping a few tacticals there
Haiti, you are in my prayers, but please pray for us, too. In 2010, we won't be able to spare a penny
Well people you better get ready for tens of thousands of Haitians to start coming in boats, that is if Obama does not invite them in so that they can get free housing, food, health care, welfare and all the rest of the freebies while we pay more taxes and higher health care premiums
This is not a fairy tale. This is what is going to happen if we allow this administration to run wild with spending spending and more spending. SAVE AMERICA, VOTE THEM OUT
Obama loves the world more than he does America. That is obvious. As long as he is prez this will go on and on
expect open boarders for all haitians
Is Obungas team ready to prosecute any relief workers that may infringe upon Haitians civil rights?
Has anyone noticed that most of aid required around the world is to countries whose adults keep producing children they cannot feed?
There are so many more, but my stomach gets ill just reading some of the comments.
UPDATE: And of courser, the granddaddy of no decency whatsoever, a clip of Rush Limbaugh from LaurenMonica
