Here we Fuckin Go Again!!!!

Well, I am certain that I'll ruffle a few feathers and piss people off here but I've had about enough!

There was an earthquake in Japan. Apparently an 8.9 on the Richter scale. That's pretty bad.

So I'm on Facebook and I see post after post about prayers going out, etc. etc. to the Japanese. Disgusted. I'm absolutely disgusted.

My view is that in most cases it's hypocritical compassion. For some I'm sure that it's sincere. But let's look at it realistically.

The U.S. will no doubt send millions of dollars in aid to Japan, which is still one of the richest countries in the world. Loosely translated, they don't need it. Celebrities will no doubt champion relief funds for Tsunami survivors. The "Global Village" will respond with money, time and numerous fund raisers to help these people who lost their homes, possessions and loved ones during this NATURAL disaster.

Now as someone who has survived a NATURAL disaster (Hurricane Rita) which left us (My wife and I personally) without power for 9 days and water for 5 days along with hundreds of other military families, as well, as tens of thousands of civilians in the area. None of those celebrities who raised funds benefited me or anyone I know a bit. The federal government (FEMA) was worse than the Hurricane itself and though the nation sent their prayers it didn't do a damn bit of good.

It is my opinion that you can save your lip service prayers and "Heartfelt concern" for those suffering from this disaster. Sorry to sound cold but posting your thoughts and feelings on a social networking site do nothing more than make you feel better. I can promise you that the people affected by this don't give a damn about your neo/pseudo/hypo christian prayers. They want power, homes, their things and loved ones back.

Now, far be it from me to simply bitch about things without giving some sort of solution or alternative solution. So I say Fuck the Japanese survivors. It's a tragedy true. But here in our own country we have families torn apart by a war. many families are suffering from the loss of loved ones, both emotionally and financially. We have American Soldiers on food stamps to feed their families. Poor, Homeless and drug addicted Americans that need to be taken care of, financially, morally and psychologically. We have hundreds of illegal aliens coming to this country daily, sapping the public assistance system and filling our prisons.

We have a social security system set up to take care of our senior citizens and many of them still have to work to make ends meet. But the bleeding heart liberals will cry a fucking river if we don't send aid to the Japanese. I'm sorry but let's make a reality check here. We have our own problems in our own country and until our own house is straightened up and the way it needs to be. Fuck everyone else. Why can't we as Americans take care of Americans then worry about everyone else? Why do we as a country feel the need to be police and rescuer of every other country when it is doing stupid shit or has had some natural catastrophe occur?

As an American, I am a patriot. I spent 8.5yrs serving this great nation and I love it. We have real problems, but they are our problems, we need to solve our problems then worry about everyone and everything else.

So the way I feel is; Until we take care of US, meaning the U.S. Fuck everyone else!
