How many flood victims in South Texas have been rescued by the Antifa navy? . . . Seriously, doesn’t it look like almost all of the heavy lifting in the wake of Harvey is being done by people who belong to what the Southern Poverty Law Center would describe as ‘hate groups?’ Speaking of which, when does the SPLC’s food drive begin? . . . Joel Osteen took a lot of grief this week, but his church is open. Which of his three mansions is Bernie Sanders opening for flood victims?

Yep. Some of these leftie foundations, like the Clinton Foundation, have more money than God, but they are nowhere to be seen in this. Where are all the other high profile left wingers? Where's Whoopie Goldberg, Colbert, Elizabeth Warren?

I know that the Clinton Foundation gets involved in building housing, at least when it comes to paying one of their friends hundreds of millions to build lousy housing for Haitians. And, no doubt, receive a cash kick back for it. But nothing for Texas.

I guess they have better things to do than help out the deplorables.

As one of the usual suspects around here demonstrated, some left wingers resent the idea that people flooded out by a storm are considered to be "victims" because it cuts in on their victim racket. By their lights, only their approved victims, specifically, people like them, are to be regarded as true victims and therefore recipients of any special consideration.

Some of these pinheads have even implied that Houston storm victims don't deserve any help because they were stupid enough to build a house on a flood plain. While drug addicted, HIV ridden, Hep C infested black men deserve welfare and free medical care because racism. And crack whores deserve help because patriarchy. And so on.

Beyond that, of course, left wingers are famous for their stinginess when it comes to personal charity. They think that they are exempt from that sort of thing. Because they are in favor of the government taking money from people by force and giving it to "victims" who vote for them they should not be required to contribute anything to their neighbors out of their personal funds or resources.

I'm sure all of the good citizens of Houston are grateful to have you helping them with your attacks on liberals.

I must have missed where Bernie Sanders owns a bunch of mansions in Houston.

Giving the talk on the Cajun Navy Facebook page about not rescuing liberals or as they put it libtards I passed on making a donation to him. Plenty of other organizations to donate to.

There's liberals in Houston? Oh, sorry, libtards.

I guess the social engineering isn't going so well.

We didn't miss what's really important. We all know liberals created the hurricane by electing a lesbian.

So here we have a conservative complaining about liberals not helping his fellow conservatives. Even if the complaint was true, does anybody see the irony here?

"Please help me liberals, I only make fun of your entire ideology sometimes! I also need some government assistance pronto!" :lamo

Holy crap.

What a convoluted bunch of horse manure that is.

Antifa and the Clinton foundation are somehow linked?
There's an Antifa navy, like the Cajun navy?
No, Antifa didn't send help, but then again, neither did the Neo Nazis.

and "drug addicted, HIV ridden, Hep C infested black men deserve welfare and free medical care because racism"??? Nothing racist about that statement, now is there? What about the drug addicted, HIV ridden, Hep C infested white men, do they get welfare as well? Or, is it the claim that whites are all good hard working middle class Americans?

What a huge steaming pile that OP is.

I'd been wondering what the people of Houston had done to bring God's wrath down on them like this. That must be one bad ass lesbian
 
I see the RNC troll checks are still being issued.

The province of Quebec offered aid and the Secretary of State for Texas asked them to send prayers instead:

Quebec offers blankets, beds and hydro crews to Texas in wake of Hurricane Harvey - Montreal - CBC News

Now who's not doing enough to help?
 
It's gonna take a lot of fairy dust to make this thing fly

In sequence - TMK, there is no Antifa navy. Antifa itself is a misnomer - Anti-Fascists are hardly necessary, as far as I know, there is no resurgence of Mussolini-style Brownshirts anywhere in the World. The Nazis were the snappy dressers, & set the style for ominous ensembles, likely for all time to come.

I don't watch a lot of TV - but The Daily Show has been encouraging people to give what they can to the hurricane relief efforts in TX. Colbert used to work there, on TDS, so that kinda counts.

As for the TX coastal areas flooding - Houston is always flooding, it seems. & Galveston & Corpus & Brownsville & on & on. It's an endemic, structural problem - the land hardly rises, & there's probably too much building in flood plains. That's what governments are typically for, but it's Texas, after all. Did the TX Lege ever fix the ammonium nitrate problem - the fire & explosion that leveled West, TX, & killed lots of the first responders? As I recall, the Lege simply shuffled the problem off:

"One year later, in 2014, the Wall Street Journal reported that fertilizer storage regulations in the U.S. were unchanged.[64]

"In 2015, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 942 regulating storage and inspection of ammonium nitrate and granting authority to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and local fire marshals to effect and enforce such regulation.[65]"

(My emphasis - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Fertilizer_Company_explosion#Regulatory_changes - for more detail)

The TX Commission on Environmental Quality is just a placeholder, I believe - somewhere to route any federal monies through. The local fire marshals might do the job - it depends on how horribly under budget & undermanned & underequipped they are. I wouldn't hold my breath on either count.

As for access to welfare & health care - if it's means-tested, I'm not that concerned. TX has a rep for welfare anyway - if you can get anything out of the state, it's a minor miracle. In TX - like in most places in the US - I seriously doubt that the charge of racism will get you anything extra in terms of benefits - maybe a hasty ejection from the premises, but not likely anything positive.

& as far as that goes - we provide education opportunities K-12 for everyone; but it's up to the individuals to apply themselves. If they don't want to participate in the social contract, that's more on them than on the polity. States in the US provide varying levels of support systems for children who are in danger of falling through the cracks - TX isn't the worst of the bunch. & I think the Lege could usefully quit posturing on Never Neverland hard-Right social unattainable goods - & actually try to address problems in the real World that can be solved. Not as much fun, I suspect.

I know how important it is for you to create your right wing lie but with the internet around it is easy to check just hoe much a lie your post is. https://medium.com/clintonfoundatio...dation-community-ways-to-support-d93449f31d61

when your senators and congressmen voted down the Sandy bill I guess you said disaster relief isnt important. nothing more hypocritical than a texan.

They voted it down because they wanted a clean bill without all the pork piggybacked on it. If this bill is full of pork I would hope they vote against this bill too.

you are confused and behind the times. this has already been shown to be a pile of crap. when you keep posting lies they are still lies. very little of the bill was pork.

I don't understand your point. Are you saying that Quebec is the official representative of the left?

Nice of them to offer, but as I understand it, there's no shortage of stuff like beds, blankets, clothes. Right now temporary shelter and help cleaning up and rebuilding is needed.

Yeah, they got to that by re-defining pork as necessary items. Lies upon lies upon lies from you guys.

What is it that you think I am confused about. You yourself even acknowledge that the bill had pork in it. It was not a clean bill to help sandy victims.
