When in the event of a disaster, don't call Ron Paul.

Ron Paul, current presidential candidate, said “victims of the recent Kentucky and Indiana tornados should fend for themselves.” Which means, according to Paul, there should not be any federal assistance or aid. So, this is Libertarianism. Right?

Then to add insult to injury, the esteemed satellite pastor Rt Rev Pat Robertson said, It’s the Indiana and Kentucky tornado victims fault for building homes in the path of the tornados.” Look it up yourself. I kid you not. These guys said this. Is this what Brotherly love suppose to be? I hope not.

Of course FEMA is the whipping boy as far as Ron Paul is concerned. Federal government should not be in the business of giving aid and handouts. Perhaps Robertson feels the same. Both at one time or another were Presidential Candidates. Paul still is. Oh please, forbid!

So, who is to come to the aid of disaster victims? David Letterman? A wealthy former resident of Indiana? Perhaps all the churches in Kentucky could help. Not likely. Some would. Most wouldn’t. Too big of a task. So, who is to do the heavy lifting? The only known entity is the federal government. Contrary to what Ron Paul thinks.

Yes, FEMA does provide financial aid and low interest loans but they also provide coordination of incoming donations as well provide emergency teams and equipment. No need to fumble around and hope something good happens. Emergency and rescue teams are already trained and ready to go. God bless FEMA and the Federal Government.
