Actually, a good portion of the money the US gave came from China anyway, so the Chinese probably felt like they had done their part.
Not one God Damn dime. All my future donations are reserved for the tea party and the wounded warriors project.
The Leftists and MSM see the Tea Party as "Far/Hard Right", and "Radical". What is radical about wanting to adhere to the principles of the Founders which made this country great? Of course the Left/Communists have distain for us. We're everything against their turning America into a shithole like most of the rest of the world.
I think one should take any money given gratefully without complaints. Someone gave you money with no conditions attached and you complain they did not give you enough? That's just not right.
Poignant comment. That's EXACTLY what's going on with the parasite class in America today. They've been given waaayyy too much already.. and all they can do is complain "it ain't enough". How about GIVE THEM NOTHING! How about "you get only what you earn for yourself?". Ooohh, now THERE'S a concept!
Honestly, I'm not aware of what The Philippines reaction was. All I've seen has been the international media commentary on the matter, and it appears to be universally negative. Pesek suggested the donation be declined, I do not believe that happened.
