Come on Everyone–it’s Time to Dig Deep and Help the People of Dixie.

Written By : Susannah Fleetwood

Americans are an extremely charitable people. We NEVER turn our backs on those in need—whether it be our fellow Americans in New Orleans, or strangers in distant lands like Haiti or Japan. Wednesday night, a slew of tornadoes tore through the southeastern US, ravaging Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, all the way to Virginia. So far, almost 300 people have been reported dead, and millions of dollars in property damage has been done by the 173 tornadoes that have destroyed Dixie (Tuscaloosa, AL seems to be the hardest hit). Bottom line, this is the deadliest tornado outbreak in the US since 1974.

Now, the good news is that, unlike the massive flooding that happened in Tennessee last year, the media actually seems to care about this disaster and President Obama is currently touring the South in order to assess the damage (whereas, he didn’t show up at all in TN last year). Yes, a select few have behaved appallingly–like the clowns over at Think Progress who had the unmitigated gall to imply that the people in these states kind of had it coming because they are all a bunch of global warming denying rednecks. However, this time around, the MSM, President Obama and the American people–both liberal and conservative–have overwhelmingly conducted themselves with class and generosity. Let’s keep it that way and not start giving the people of Dixie the Heisman, instead of our love and support, once the cameras go away and this story is off of the front page.

Michelle Malkin has a multitude of links to many different charities on her website where you can make a donation to help out the good people of Dixie (and Tabitha Hale of Redstate.com does as well). I grew up all over the South, and I can tell you that they would do it for us without even blinking. Even if you only have a dollar or two to give, your generosity during a recession will be greatly appreciated. If everyone gives a dollar, then that would add up to a lot of dough. It’s time to love our neighbors and help the people of Dixie get through this horrific disaster.

PS–I have embedded a video below from ABC World News so that everyone can hear from the victims, and see for themselves just how hellacious these tornadoes actually were.

PPS–If you also would like to give a small donation to help out the victims of the deadly storms in North Carolina that happened just a few weeks ago, then please click here.

This ain’t Daily Kos, but I like it. Thanks for trying to get the rightists here on the right track. Greed is not everything. Now unlike the Katria mess and its disappointments, let’s make sure that Obama comes through with his promises, unlike the Bush reaction.

Susannah

Joe, I’m glad that you liked my post. Maybe you can Tweet it out to your fellow Kossaks so that they might understand that conservatives aren’t necessarily “greedy”? (They just have a difference of opinion with liberals with regard to many policies.)

Anywho, thanks so much for the comment and the kind words on a slow Saturday. Take care, and have a nice weekend. :-)

PS–I think that people aren’t commenting, because Saturday is a slow day traffic-wise.

You are an idiot – conservatives have always been much more generous than liberals.
Plenty of studies back this fact up.

The difference between right and left is that the right does it themselves and the left forces “other” people to do it.

Who couldn’t have guessed it. A diary featuring a call for humanitarian aid to help fellow Americans, and only one comment appears, written by a commie (Michelle’s view) no less. If this were an appeal to save the Koch brothers from market losses, we would be inundated with replies.

How sad.

Dude, fuck you.

Seriously. Fuck. You.

I -live- in Alabama. Through dumb luck (or God’s grace, take your pick) we missed being a tornado target.

Susannah puts out an honest plea for charitable aid (as opposed to leftists, who prefer /taking/ aid at gunpoint), and all you want to do is play politics.

Get the fuck out. Now. You can look forward to being hounded for the rest of your pathetic posting time here, otherwise.

You played politics yourself so quit complaining.

I’m glad you and you family got passed by and thank God for that, but this troll is just posting so someone will respond and he can get off on it. Don’t take anything it says seriously. This piece of left wing shit has never done anything but troll under the at least 6 names I can recall and I doubt that will change anytime soon. Just flag this idiot and ignore it. Everytime anyone responds to one of it’s obvious troll posts you’re just giving it what it wants.

Toastrider,

I’m glad to hear that you missed being in the tornado’s path. I have relatives that live in Mobile, AL (and I spent a lot of my childhood there), and I’m happy to say that Mobile was spared as well.

Take care, and I wish you and your family well. :-)

Umm, well I thought those people were all about helping themselves? What the hell ever happend to good old fashion Anglo-Saxon, Protestant values of hard work and doing things for yourself? What I find funny in all of this are the governors, who quoted the 10th amendment when it suited their needs, asking the FEDERAL government, oops, I mean govmint (to use the venacular fo the south) for assistance. I’ll be sure to send a care package of gravy, meth, bath tub booze, moutain dew, red man, John Deere hats, Dale Earnhardt pictures, and Johnny Cash cd’s.

Dude, hatred much? First of all, I genuinely feel sorry for someone who responds with such such unadulterated bile towards his fellow Americans during a natural disaster.

Second of all, if–God forbid–a terrorist attack happened again in the Northeast, suppose we down here in Dixie all responded like you did here by saying, “Those people don’t support the War on Terror and don’t even want the military on their college campuses, and they are all a bunch of pacifist wussies, so screw them!”? Did we do that after 9/11? No, we all went down to the local Red Cross and gave blood and made donations. (I am A negative which is a rare blood type, so I felt that it was particularly important for me to give blood.) And, if another terrorist attack happened in the NE, we down in Dixie would all “love our neighbors” in the NE again and would respond exactly the same way that we did after 9/11–with generosity and class.

America would be a far worse place if everyone thought and acted like you, my friend.

Take care.

Sincerely, Susannah Fleetwood

First of all Susannah, which is a cute name by the way, let’s not get things twisted. The PRIVATE university that you’re talking about barred the military from its campus because of its anti-gay policy, which is discriminatory. When Don’t ask, don’t tell was repealed, they allowed them onto the campus.

Secondly, I don’t know one Amerikan who didn’t support the so called war on terror, which by the way brings me to another comment. We are a war like people aren’t we? The War on drugs, the war on the middle class, the war on poverty, the war on a “Black” looking President, blah, blah, blah.

Third, I was pointing out how ironic it is that all of this has happened in states that have “tenther” governors and now they’re asking the Federal government for assistance. Many of these same governors have cracked wise about the President in such a way had it been Bush you CONservatives would’ve been bumping your collective gums about how un-Amerikan the persons who did it are.

Lastly, I live in sunny Playa Del Rey, and I doubt it seriously if a terrorist attack will happen here. Now, LAX might be a target, since its a couple of blocks away
