Vanity: 12.12.12 Hurricane Sandy Relief Concert

Posted on 12/12/2012 6:17:34 PM PST by goodwithagun

I'm curious about this 12.12.12 relief concert. Why do they need financial support from private citizens? New York and New Jersey voted for a candidate that promised big government is the solution to their problems. Has the government not provided for all their needs after the hurricane destruction?

Do I need a sarcasm tag? With my sarcasm turned off I say this: I have not donated to this relief effort, or to any other charities, since before November 6. I give my usual tithe to my church and that is it. I haven't even taken tags off of our church's giving tree. I'm not doing this because of my bitterness from the election outcome; I'm simply holding these people to the standards they voted for.

That’s how liberals care. They go to a ritzy concert, and beg other people to give their money so they can use other people’s money to get credit for being charitable.

And Roger Waters sang “Money”.

Is the on-camera crew of celebrities all liberal?

I agree 100%. There are a lot of true patriots there, but unfortunately, they are surrounded by liberals. They need to move further in-land.

I doubt a dime will go beyond the hands of the organizers and entertainers involved. These leftist whine-a-thons have always been a scam.

Don’t you know that these entertainers have a lot more compassion than us ordinary folks.

I think you are missing the point, it is not about the people who suffered in Hurricane Sandy, it is only about all these Scumbag Communist, Adulterer, Charity Fraudsters getting mindless saps to pay for their PARTY, cuz in the end all the money will be spent on expenses, just ask Bon Jovi how the $15 Million dollars he raised for his last charity mysteriously disappeared into his EXPENSE ACCOUNT.

Should I be sorry for supporting Right to Work in Michigan which in effect means Michigan workers won’t be allowed to help in the future?

"They go to a ritzy concert, and beg other people to give their money so they can use other people’s money to get credit for being charitable."

Let's not forget the lavish parties, the caviar and booze, the red carpet treatment, the bling bags worth tens of thousands
...and like all those African relief concerts, the money will disappear and the people may see a few bags of rice drop from a cargo plane if they are lucky.

Other than church, I have one single criteria for charitable giving; if the charity gives support to anyone who voted for obama, I do not give to that charity.

I wish the rich libs would just go pick up a shovel there and do some hard labor and help to clean it up instead of begging for money. My daughter and her husband went with a Church group from California to help they also went to help after Katrina. They did much more help than the government or the overrated celebs. The people they helped were very grateful and they know who is helping and who is not. Not to mention a lot of tax money went there already I won’t give a dime.

If people want to give to charities for Sandy victims, that's fine. Private donations should drive all of these efforts.

No one has the right to demand that the rest of us cough up money because they did not prepare. No one has the right to demand that the rest of us cough up money to rebuild houses at or below sea level. Sorry.

Everybody has their own opinion, but this line up is so unimpressive to me that I wouldn't even expend the energy to reach for the clicker to change the channel.

More about self-promotion and self-agrandizment than anything else.
