These thoughts came to mind yesterday...
Americans, as citizens, will rally to support the Haitians as they struggle to heal from the earthquake;
our government will continue to assist as well through coordination of air flights and deliveries;
'progressive' politicians will begin to speak of 'fixing' Haiti (they've actually already begun doing that);
the 'fixing' will become the complete, total re-building of Haiti, including their homes, government buildings, and businesses;
the 'progressives' will begin to declare that those opposing the complete re-building of Haiti (at US citizens' expense) are hateful, racist, and mean-spirited;
the 'progressives' will try to use Haiti as a reason to promote their huge-government agenda, making our own government even more powerful, taking even more freedoms from us;
this is an opportunity for 'progressives' to try to continue to turn America into a full blown socialist society.
They will try it folks... it's just a matter of time.
