FReeper---"Do not give any money to relief aid---they take our jobs!"
To: kattracks
DO NOT GIVE A PENNY TO THE RED CROSS. Remember well their vicious lies about how America is "torturing" detainees at Guantanamo, and how they allow their ambulances to be used to transport terrorists from Gaza to Fallujah, and how past investigations have shown how few pennies on the dollar donated to them actually go to the victims of disasters.
Also do not give to the pro-gay United Way, and pro-abort UNICEF. Give only to Christian organizations with a presence in Southeast Asia if you dont want your money wasted. Or, better yet...don't give anything at all! these are hardly poor nations, having benefitted from billions in wealth transfers by outsourcing of American jobs.

3. The same Red Cross that Mrs. Bob Dole used to run
has suddenly become ultra left-wing?

16. Apparently because the Red Cross criticized Abu Ghraib or something
and they think that means the Red Cross is ultra left wing now. No joke.
These people on FR are a delusional bunch of people. I am glad I do not know anyone this vile.

19. FR is the real echo chamber
Here at DU I really do see serious discussions; on FR (and I do lurk there) I see those few brave souls who express their own opinion excoriated. I'm not saying we here at DU don't fight, but I don't think anyone here really expects unadulterated agreement...

Well, here in the socialist UK, charities have raised 16M pounds (30M dollars?). I'll leave the 'per head of population' calculations as an excercise for the reader.

8. Any person or group that cares for others is un-American?
Is that what I get from this.
What a bunch of assholes, should they ever need assistance, I hope someone pours it on more than they would ever need. Then maybe they will reflect on how they were so generous when others needed assistance.

Pricks.

25. on the other hand, to give credit where it's due
there are a fair share of people on that thread who are making sense, to wit:

To: marty60
$10 million from Saudi Arabia and $2 million from the UAE, last I saw. Some of the countries (UAE at least) are also sending personnel, doctors, rescue teams, etc.

The important thing at this point isn't "I gave more than you" (something that liberals and the UN can't understand). The important thing is for those agencies and charities to get the money and items they need and get them to those millions of people affected by this. I seriously doubt right now that a devastated fishing village in Sri Lanka cares whether that food and water is coming from America, Britain, the UAE, or Israel. They just need it, badly.

anyone who gives anything, who sends any aid of any kind is doing a very good thing and it does not matter where they came from

36. This is dumb too
"The important thing at this point isn't "I gave more than you" (something that liberals and the UN can't understand)."

No, liberals do understand this. The important thing is to just give and "not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing". Which also means you don't weigh it based on anything external, you just do everything you can. When your country is spending $40 million on an inauguration while giving $35 million, it's a clue you're not doing all you can.

28. Jesus, sounds like the old National Lampoon Radio Hour bit
"Don't send money to so-called starving children in Europe. Can you afford to live in Europe? Can you even afford to GO to Europe? You know what they do with all those care packages? They knock them into their swimming pools with their polo mallets and have a good laugh at our expense."

This has been a Public Disservice message from the National Lampoon.

Lol; one of these Freeps has the name "AntiGuv"; wanna bet he/she worships BushCo, the ultimate in Big Government evil?

I'm sure even true Christian organizations like CCF and Catholic Relief are too "lefty" for them.
