Glenn Beck’s Mercury one charity had trucks on the scene by 2AM with 4 truckloads of supplies and were heading back for more.

Many years ago my ship was docked in Greece, and while off the ship there was a Red Cross mobile Canteen on the dock. We didn’t have any money on us a the time, but they would not give us a cup of coffee without paying.

I have never donated to the Red Cross since, and never will.

The Salvation Army always had free coffee, free donuts etc. and never asked for a penny.

There were many stories like yours from WWII. Soldiers paid the Red Cross for donated items.

Mr Ditter feels the same way about the Red Cross. Not a dime donated to them from this house.

I’m sure the SA will put it all to good use, unlike the Red Cross w/ their ‘overhead’.

Unless I’m mistaken the director of the Americn Red Cross gets about $900,000 per year.
The director of the Salvation Army get about $2,400.per year.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Oklahomans will be the ones taking care of their neighbors, but politicians will be there to get their quick photo op to show they “care..”

So, Obama has declared Oklahoma a major disaster.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
