Wow. You don't suppose they're doing that because the Americans are
donating more just by texting than their whole country is giving, do
you?

America is a pretty good country. Shame the liberals are always
putting it down.

U.S. Texting Raises $11 Million for Haiti
By: Reuters | Jan 16, 2010

Cellphone users in the United States have contributed more than $11
million to Haitian earthquake relief through text messages in what is
being hailed as an unprecedented mobile response to a natural
disaster.

Damn it. First the Germans go and do something just to make the U.S.
look bad (of course they didn't do it just to provide what aid they
could!), now those damned Israilis are going into Haiti and setting up
state of the art triage sites with the best field care possible. They
are doing that just to make the U.S. look bad, too, right John?


Americans in the good old USA have now 'texted' over $27 million for
aid to Haiti. Gosh, that's almost three times the German aid, and it's
only the contributions from cellphones.

You've gotta love this country, even if you're a lib who's preoccupied
with putting it down.

Why are you talking about Germans and Israelis trying to make the USA
look bad? That's what liberals do. Then they apologize for how bad
this country is. Germany is one of their examples of how great
socialism can be.

Right!

All decisions are the result of binary thinking.


For a country as big & rich as the US...that's chump change.
Canada just forgave a 140 million loan that Haiti owes us.
