Where is the Christianity?
Gotten from RealLivePreacher

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:34-40

I am a Jewish woman. Many of my friends are Christian. I am fortunate that they are Christian in the real sense of the word. They try to live their lives according to the teachings of Christ.

The president of this country, and the leaders of this country claim to be Christians. They believe that the bible should be followed exactly--except when it might apply to them.

George Bush flew back to Washington to intefere in the death of a white woman. However he wasted days playing while his black countrymen drowned.

He flew over. He got a photo op--he didn't even try to bring them supplies. They are short of helicopters...the mayor of New Orleans himself went on rescue missions, and threw supplies from his helicopter but the President of the United States didn't bother.

Do I blame Bush for the hurricane? No. Of course not.
Do I blame him for the federal government's response to the hurricane? HELL YES.

He put a crony in charge of FEMA. A crony who had NO EXPERIENCE with handling Federal disasters. There is a catch-22 that says you need a job to get experience and experience to get a job. This is what entry -level jobs are for. The head of FEMA is not an entry-level job. This incompetince cost lives.

If these people had been white. If the hurricane had struck the Hamptons in NY where the victims were wealthy and white, the Federal government would have done something more.

Why did it take so long? Was it the Christian thing to do?
