Tsunami Deaths........ Blame the Muslim countries......... [View All]

[FM Arouet666]

This is the gist of what I heard on the radio on the way home tonight. I was listening to the Tammy Bruce show on the same station which carries the other hate purveyors. I paraphrase, 'the majority of deaths were in Muslim countries, countries which do not have a free market system, which are not democratic, with governments which are corrupt and do not regard human life as sacred, as we do here in the United States.'

The number of deaths is appalling, and preventable, and Muslim countries are primarily to blame. She also mentioned the 15,000 deaths in France during the last heat wave. Concluding, socialist systems cannot protect their citizens, it is a failed system.

Anyone would agree that the death toll is appalling. The majority of countries affected are poor, third world countries. Yes, the Indian ocean lacks an early warning system like that in place in the pacific. The pacific system was not initiated until after a 9.2 magnitude quake in 1965 spawned deadly Tsunami. Many will die for the price of hind sight.

However, vilifying the victims of this horrendous human tragedy in an attempt to justify the United States position of moral superiority over the Muslim world is simply unconscionable. One republican caller suggested that the U.S. give aid with strings attached, presumably that the Muslim countries suppress popular hostility toward the U.S.

What is next, God caused the earthquake to punish the Muslims for their sins against a Christian nation?

Anyone with an opinion of Tammy Bruce, this was the first I had heard of her show. Her page is listed here.

Apparently she is openly gay, a feminist and a former NOW president, and a "progressive." She is certainly not a liberal from the tone of her broadcast and the info on her page.

GOP, piling it higher and deeper. :evilfrown:
