Fine, okay, it's a blog already!

Want to know why I continue to be proud of the president I voted for and still support? He doesn't need some bullshit marketing label like "compassionate conservative". He's just a good man.

Also, from the remarks (target=_blank">transcript here):

I have directed my administration to respond with a swift, coordinated, and aggressive effort to save lives. The people of Haiti will have the full support of the United States in the urgent effort to rescue those trapped beneath the rubble, and to deliver the humanitarian relief -- the food, water and medicine -- that Haitians will need in the coming days. In that effort, our government, especially USAID and the Departments of State and Defense are working closely together and with our partners in Haiti, the region, and around the world....

Because in disasters such as this the first hours and days are absolutely critical to saving lives and avoiding even greater tragedy, I have directed my teams to be as forward-leaning as possible in getting the help on the ground and coordinating with our international partners as well....

Finally, let me just say that this is a time when we are reminded of the common humanity that we all share. With just a few hundred miles of ocean between us and a long history that binds us together, Haitians are neighbors of the Americas and here at home. So we have to be there for them in their hour of need.

Despite the fact that we are experiencing tough times here at home, I would encourage those Americans who want to support the urgent humanitarian efforts to go to whitehouse.gov where you can learn how to contribute. We must be prepared for difficult hours and days ahead as we learn about the scope of the tragedy. We will keep the victims and their families in our prayers. We will be resolute in our response, and I pledge to the people of Haiti that you will have a friend and partner in the United States of America today and going forward.

May God bless the people of Haiti and those working on their behalf.

What do conservatives have to contribute to this discourse? Nothing but hate and fear and low blows.

Lush Rimjob is convinced that Obama's desire to help is just a poltical ploy to appease the "light-skinned and dark-skinned black community in this country."

I get why he'd think that way. A foul-mouth racist drug addict like him would never be able to grasp the concept of compassion or a sense of responsibility to his fellow man. Still, he's a pig for saying what he did.

Meanwhile, Pat Robertson is still alive and being a racist. On the entire Haitian population:

"And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you will get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal.

And they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free. But ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other."

He said this in response to this earthquake. While thousands are dead and dying and millions are suffering. Bastard.

Seriously, you will never convince me that cretins of this ilk deserve my vote, much less any ability for me to see as them as anything but examples of what is wrong with our nation.
