US Policy On Haitian Earthquake Victims Turns Mobs Violent



As expected, chaos reigns on the streets of Haiti as victims scramble for food, water, shelter, and anything they can use for money in the wake of horrible devastation. When there are no basic facilities there are no such thing as looters, there are only victims looking to survive.

US policy so far is designed to keep the Haitians in Haiti at all costs. Hack off an arm or leg with a rusty saw, bandage them up with a bandage they can't change, and send them back to the rubble they came from. The Navy ships offshore are not only providing medical services, but, security as well for the white folks in Miami. The US policy is to do everything they can in Haiti to keep a flotilla of boat people leaving the island for the US for their very survival. The United States would look like real dicks turning away earthquake victims from Haiti while accepting Cuban traitors wanting a new flat screen television.

A nation that took in hundreds of thousands of vietnamese boat people after the war, thousands of Cubans, and millions of Mexicans can surely absorb a few dying Haitians.


The Republicans are already waiting to pounce if Obama, a Black President, lets in thousands Haitians. Republican Govenor Charlie Crist has already refused additional medical flights with victims from Haiti, requesting they be sent elsewhere due to a lack of resources. The total number of victims received in Florida Hospitals so far has only reached 500.

US puppet Rene Prevel looked like a mouse watching hungry lions seperated by a chicken-wire fence. Soon the lions, wolves, tigers, even chickens will destroy him and demand change while building rafts.

African and Carribean nations must embrace our brothers and sisters in Haiti as it is obvious the so called first world powers will not. Americans can sleep at night and feel good about themselves knowing that they sent a few bucks to the starving Haitians, not knowing why, or if it will ever reach it's intended victims. necesseties.

Ex-Presidents Clinton and Bush (the moron) were appointed to oversee the Haiti relief effort to accomplish two things. Get the Haitians any resources they need , short of bringing Haitians to America, and shield Obama from right wing attacks by people like Limbaugh and left wing meddlers like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

In the meantime the Haitians scramble like rats for basic necessities of life while we watch from our air conditioned houses sipping iced tea and eating steak.

Clinton Comes Around On Gay Marriage



Now that he is in no position to effect change, Slick Willie has come out in favor of Gay marriage.

Don't get me wrong. I applaud him for finally seeing the light, but a tepid acknowledgement in the middle of a half-hour interview is hardly a ringing endorsement.

My road to redemption began long ago.

As a kid growing up in Alabama, I had never seen, or knowingly met a gay person. One day in high school I was sitting at the lunch table with a group of friends. We were laughing and joking as usual about all the girls passing by. How fine or fat they were. If they were fucking.

This kid walked by. Everybody got quiet.

The kid next to me says, "that kid looks like a girl." Beneath his voice kinda.

The kid next to him asks, which one?"

I yell out, "that one!"

The kid turned around and looked directly at me. He looked confused, hurt, surprised. Not ashamed.

I guess it's because he had a nice ass.

Anyway, a few minutes later, he strolled by again. This time with a group of friends.

They get within earshot. He whirls. Points at me. Says, "that one!"

I understood from that day.

Even though I am still homophobic at certain levels, I am heartily in favor of gay marriage for several reasons:

First. We hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! If gay people believe that marriage will make them happy, end of argument. Frankly, I think we have been doing them a huge favor all these years.

Second. Do you want your son or daughter to marry someone who is gay and in the closet? That's what happens when they can't marry each other.

Third. I want my son or daughter to be free from open discrimination if they happen to be gay. The laws restricting Gay marriage are the same as the laws passed against inter racial marriages. How can you have rights in one state and not another? I'll bet your dollar spends the same in both.

Thank you Bill Clinton for seeing the light eight years too late. By the way, Don't Ask Don't Tell, was a real winner!

Oh, and that kid.

He died of AIDS.
