The American People are Awesome!

Once again the great people of this nation are stepping up and giving from their hearts.  Way to go America!

In the midst of the worst economy in years the American people are opening their hearts and wallets to the people in Haiti.  Haiti is the poorest of the poor and they have suffered yet another disaster and the American people are stepping up and giving like never before.

School children are collecting food, clothing and medical supplies for the people of Haiti.  Corporations are opening their check books.  People who are unemployed are giving from their need.  The People of this country are simply amazing.

Yesterday we heard about people scamming those wanting to give to relief efforts and a hoax on twitter.  We seem to hear the bad more than the good but last night we were beginning to hear story’s about the great heart of this country.

There are some who tell us we must change because we need to be more like other nations but I believe that we must look back to our foundation and fight to remain true to our roots.  FREEDOM SHOULD NEVER CHANGE!   Our freedom gives us the heart to move ahead and will to help others do the same.

If you want to participate in the American response to the recovery of Haiti people, World Vision is at the fore front of the efforts to get food, clothing and Medicine into the country as quickly as possible.  Shipments have already been airlifted into the country and more are being staged now, but they need our help to continue.  Here is a link to their page for Donations.

WORLD VISION Give what you can.

Way to go American!

Twitter hoax spreads rumors of airlines’ free flights to Haiti.

(CNN) — Twitter was buzzing Thursday morning with news that several airlines are flying doctors and nurses to Haiti free of charge to help with relief efforts there in the wake of Tuesday’s devastating earthquake.

The only problem: The rumors are false, an American Airlines spokesman says.

“Last night’s hoax on Twitter about American and JetBlue flying doctors and nurses to Haiti for free was just that — a hoax. We don’t know who is responsible, but it’s a very low thing to do,” airline spokesman Tim Smith said in e-mails sent Thursday.

I am just a “Redneck” from Colorado but when I read something like this I wonder how many people have been hit in the head with a baseball bat.  Don’t these people have enough to do?  I suggest that when they are found the government should immediately put them to work cleaning the john’s in our park system by hand.

My word, if the prospect of a possible 100,000 or more people dead and over 2 million without food, water and medical supplies doesn’t make your heart cry out to them you are simply dead from the neck up!

We are becoming a nation of cry baby’s and spoiled brats and I am concerned that it is going to come back to bit us in our posterior very soon if we don’t start to address the lack of concern shown by these idiots.

If we have any mature adults left in this country we need to step up and without the use of political correct language tell these people that we are tired of their spoiled brat behavior, and mean it.
