New Zealand is a beautiful country. I am praying for the people in harm’s way.

Never been there but have spoken to someone who has.

She was enamored with the ideology of its government and the public’s enthusiasm for same.

An interesting juxtaposition here on FR where this post comes just above a post about ‘Rebuilding the Navy’! Something that is lost to the committed LEFTISTS of Obama and Hillary is that the US Military is THE WORLD CLASS emergency response team. Hollowing it out for resources to bribe the ‘gibmedats’ hurts not only them but makes the emergency missions slower and less capable.

Right now, I am CONFIDENT that units of the US Navy and US Air Force are working hard to assist the devastated areas of New Zealand. Yet, the job would have had more units, more personnel if not for Obama! The ability to go and assist is a GREAT TRADITION of our military and one they take great pride in doing. Doing that job can only make and keep friends for us in this dangerous world!

Ouch!

Brick buildings plus quakes are a recipe for death an injury.

They are getting some big aftershocks and I bet there is one more really big one coming.
