Third World countries don’t understand the meaning of counterproductive
Just as the Haitians did in the aftermath of the horrific earthquake that rocked their country, the Pakistanis are protesting the slow arrival of aid in the wake of devastating flooding by blocking streets necessary to deliver such aid. Do Third World countries not understand the meaning of the term “counterproductive”?
Senate wants to send $3.5B more to Haiti
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee is pushing a new 5 year, $3.5 billion reconstruction aid package for Haiti. We have a $1.5 trillion budget deficit contributing to our almost $13 trillion in national debt, but yes, let’s send $3.5 billion more in aid to Haiti.
Ellis Washington on his new radio show, Barack Obama, and his work on Michael Savage’s biography
It was truly an honor to interview my friend and vigorous supporter of The Conservative Beacon, Ellis Washington. Ellis, as most of you know, is a contributor to WorldNetDaily.com and the hand-picked biographer of conservative radio legend Dr. Michael Savage. Ellis has been kind enough to allow me to post his WND columns on The [...]
Italian disaster “expert” (so-called) slams America’s involvement in Haiti relief effort
And the hits just keep on coming. First, the Haitians themselves criticized and protested our assistance in the aftermath of the earthquake. Next, it was the French accusing us of “occupying” Haiti. Now we have an Italian disaster expert (so-called), Guido Bertolaso, terming our relief effort as nothing but a “vanity parade.” He describes the [...]
Haitian immigrant advocates: It’s cheaper to allow more Haitian immigrants than to provide direct aid to Haiti
The proponents of allowing Haitian refugees into America are stopping at nothing to convince those of us opposed that it would be good for America. Even former members of the George W. Bush administration are going so far as to suggest that it would be cheaper and more effective for America to accept more Haitian [...]
Obama grants temporary legal status to 200,000 Haitians while U.S. jobless rate increases
Immigration officials have announced a decision by the Obama administration to grant Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to potentially 200,000 Haitians currently residing in the U.S. illegally. TPS essentially legalizes the illegal Haitians for the next 18 months. Because they will now be classified as legal aliens, they will be permitted to work in the United [...]
Guess which country has donated the most to Hait’s earthquake relief effort…
America! The U.S. has donated $114.5 million, by far the largest contribution. What about the world’s largest economy, China–what have they donated? $4.4 million. Boy, that’s impressive. Hope that doesn’t break their bank. What about the oil-rich countries? Surely they’ve made significant contributions. Right? Wrong. The government of the United Arab Emirates has donated no [...]
Red Cross planning mass Haitian migration to Florida?
The American Red Cross is kicking around a plan to bring some 45,000 Haitian refugees to Florida. Yes, because that’s exactly what America needs right now: more non-citizens dependent on our government for sustenance. How the hell would we pay for this? Answer: We can’t because we’re $12.3 trillion–trillion–in debt! Oh, but wait, Florida governor [...]
France accuses U.S. of “occupying” Haiti
The French minister in charge of humanitarian relief in Haiti is frustrated with America’s role in the country, so much so that he made one of the most idiotic accusations I’ve ever read: “This is about helping Haiti, not about occupying Haiti,” Mr Joyandet said. Is he serious? Is this a serious accusation? I’m getting [...]
Violence in Haiti is impeding aid delivery
The aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti is playing out eerily similar to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. In the wake of Katrina, many New Orlean’s residents complained about the slowness of aid arrival, but when the aid began flowing in many residents decided to engage in violent protests that were nothing [...]
