Rush Limbaugh and Haiti
Friday, January 15th, 2010No one knows when disaster will strike a person or a country, but it surely will strike. To those of us who are fortunate enough not to have it strike our front door, we are thankful, and at the same time we can reach out and assist those whose door it has struck.
I sent the conservative radio talk man, Rush Limbaugh, an e-mail yesterday out of frustration with his comments about Haiti. Rush Limbaugh is a man who is not only financially well off, successful in the field of talk radio, but a man who has been lucky enough to keep several disasters from his own front door. He has survived a media frenzy about his use of illegal drugs and a recent hospitalization while vacationing in Hawaii. Instead of being contrite and thankful, Rush uses his situation to brag politically that there is nothing wrong with the American Health Care System. He said when leaving Hawaii that he received the best health care a country could give. He is now suggesting to Americans they should not send any financial help to Haiti. He says we already give enough to Haiti through our taxes. OMG!
I don’t know if it is a waste of time, but here is what I wrote Rush yesterday, January 14, 2010.
