Had that conversation several times this week here in FL. I do think the devastation of some of those NJ towns is significant and a few pockets in NY, but it was a Cat 1 storm, and most of the damage we saw in other areas were simply big old trees uprooted and typical storm surge.
You know I’m feeling terribly conflicted about this. I am all for humanitarian relief.
I am just having a terrible conflict knowing there’s a 80-90% chance that helping people that live in Manhattan are the same people that would call me a racist, bigoted, narrow minded, Bible thumping teabagger if I merely walked the streets in their neighborhood and they knew my political beliefs.
