I wonder if South Carolina Republicans...


Posted: Oct 5, 2015

...will ask the federal government for disaster-relief funds in the wake of the severe flooding in their state. Nearly all of the South Carolina's Republican delegation opposed funding for flooding victims of Hurricane Sandy.

God Bless Gov. Haley for not politicizing a tragedy and making everything about her by using "I" all the time.

No, I'm sure they will go to their local - churches and friends

they wouldn't want to take part in any of that socialist state stuff. Good time for them to begin to practice what they PREACH.

Crass statement. My thoughts and prayers for - South Carolina.

Just like with guns, the turnaround time for politicizing a - tragedy is getting quicker

and quicker.

And if they ignore a tragedy, politicians get - raked over the coals for that, too.

Sometimes ya just can't win either way.

Crass is necessary since Republicans seem to - have short attention span and blinders

when it comes to social assistance programs. They are only necessary and important when affecting them.

BINGO! You win the pizza - THANK YOU for being awake.

Thank you for restoring my faith.
Never let a tragedy go to waste. This is who the Democrats - REALLY are. They care more about

the politics than the human suffering. So much for being for the "little guy."

Everything is about advancing their party.
The left uses a kind of "internet lynching" to brand - all gun owners as rednecks

who cling to God, guns and country.

During the Obama years, we have crossed a threshold. Here is what has changed

1. Expressing traditional Christian views on sexual morality can get you fired, cause you to lose your business, subject you to Draconian fines, or have your reputation ruined.

2. Owning a gun, or defending the 2nd Amendment, can cause you to be labeled a "terrorist" by some mainstream media outlets.

3. Any public statement which diverges from liberal orthodoxy - on any issue - can ruin your personal life or destroy your business. I know someone who was accused of harassment at work because of his conservatives views.
What does this have to do with South Carolina Republicans withholding aid? - wondering
[ In Reply To ..]
FYI, I'm not a Democrat, and my husband and son are avid hunters. But my post was not about gun control or "expressing traditional Christian views," etc. Deflection? I wondered if the same South Carolina Republicans who voted against aid to those in NY and NJ after Hurricane Sandy will have their hands out for federal aid now that epic flooding has taken a toll on their state. It's a valid question. I certainly hope SC gets as much federal aid as they need. I just wish the same consideration would have been given to those whose lives were affected by Hurricane Sandy, mine included.

Glenn Beck's Mercury One charity raises money to help victims - like Hurricane Sandy, Missouri

tornado, and many, many others. These are fellow citizens helping fellow citizens. There's nothing political about it.

I donate money and food. You can even designate which charity you want your donation to go to.

Good. I hope he's prepared to raise billions of dollars. - NM

$1 million is a drop in the bucket for what's needed in SC after the floods. - xy

I'm afraid Glenn Beck by himself can't supply disaster relief for every natural disaster that occurs in the US.
I wouldn't give that shyster Beck one thin dime. - I donated to the Red Cross, instead.
[ In Reply To ..]
They actually HELP people - they don't suck them dry financially to advance the right wing agenda.

Guess South Carolinians will just have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps! - typical far-right Republican (nm)
