Boston Herald Howie Carr September 2, 2017 How many flood victims in South Texas have been rescued by the Antifa navy? Just asking, because on TV this week I’ve been watching the “Cajun Navy” pull one Dunkirk after another all around the Gulf Coast. And those good old boys look like they just came off the set of “Duck Dynasty.” They could be wearing MAGA hats. Hell, I’ll bet one or two of them may have even been falsely accused of committing a fake hate crime or two since the election by some unhinged Social Justice Warrior. They are, to coin a phrase, deplorables. Hell, a Chick-fil-A franchise in Houston sent out a power boat to rescue a couple of elderly customers. And the old folks didn’t even ask if Chick-fil-A’s CEO is still opposed to gay marriage. Is Michael Moore hosting an All-U-Can-Eat buffet for first responders in Harris County? If he were, surely MSNBC would be covering it, live. Where are Elizabeth Warren, Whoopi Goldberg, Steven Colbert, etc. etc.? Seriously, doesn’t it look like almost all of the heavy lifting in the wake of Harvey is being done by people who belong to what the Southern Poverty Law Center would describe as “hate groups?” Speaking of which, when does the SPLC’s food drive begin? Are the non-workers of the Socialist Workers Party and the Spartacist League loading any southbound 18-wheelers with relief supplies this weekend? Maybe everyone in “the Resistance” is worn out from wearing pink hats and black masks and tipping over statues and sucker punching passers-by with bicycle locks in Berkeley and grabbing an old lady’s flag on the Boston Common and burning it — all those wonderful manifestations of how Love Trumps Hate, as they say. Of course, it’s the last weekend of summer, so you can’t expect the likes of Jeffrey Epstein to be scrambling his private 747 out of the Hamptons to airlift foodstuffs to Galveston and Beaumont. You can’t be asking Brooklyn hipsters or Occupy Wall Street to occupy a relief shelter when the Beautiful People are jetting into Nantucket for brunch at the Chanticleer Inn. Besides, as assorted adjunct professors at third-rate colleges have been tweeting out all week, those are Trump voters stranded down there in the Lone Star State — bitter clingers and irredeemables. Then there’s John Kerry — he did sell his second wife’s first husband’s trust fund’s yacht when he moved from Nantucket to the Vineyard, but he could still enlist in the Cajun Navy. America’s Gigolo has other plans this weekend, though. According to The Hill, Liveshot is busy — “Kerry races to save American cycling team.” Well, first things first. How about the Clinton Foundation? They have more money than God, but if you go to their website, all it has is a list of links to other organizations. For flood relief, I guess it takes a village, but not the Clinton Foundation. Joel Osteen took a lot of grief this week, but his church is open. Which of his three mansions is Bernie Sanders opening for flood victims? Victims of Hurricane Harvey, when the phone don’t ring, you’ll know it’s #resist.

Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Quick answer: Never Frog, meet scorpion  This is why you can't reason with them nor negotiate in good faith - example: dem politicians. ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

This commentary was right on. On a smaller issue, leftists leave the shopping cart in the parking space for someone else to deal with. I discovered that when there were lots of cars with "Obamma '08" bumper stickers. Serious about crackers | |||

I think the Cajun Navy should be renamed "The Deplorable Navy" in honor of Hil Cinton. These heroes got off their butts and went to work without waiting for the govt to give them permission. Why that's an outrageously deplorable act right there. The left has been quite about condeming the deplorable demographic since the storm. The world has seen what the deplorables are all about: service to their fellow humans, hard work and self sacrifice. The left will have to lay low. Then they'll be back. We need tee shirts with "deplorable navy" printed on them to honor the great men and women. | |||

Nah. It's simple. If they helped out individually, it is a concession that the government can't take care of everyone. If someone has a need, the state will provide. If the state isn't providing, you don't need it, and if there is a need, someone in the state is cruel, unjust, bigoted and hateful. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way.

Seems when politicians, bureaucrats, liberals do stoop to help those in need, they always pay themselves first. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

It's a dubious art of graft to pay yourself and make it look like you are paying the needy. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

The left has been radicalized. I can't even discuss Trump's presidency so far with my liberal friends without them becoming INCREDIBLY emotional and angry when I point out positive policies or decisions. They just grasp onto some talking point that typically has NOTHING to do with any policy then go on and on about how wicked Trump is and how he is like Satan or some stupid shit. They have collectively lost their fucking minds. I don't think there is hope for the vast majority of lefties to ever wake up and unfuck their politics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

Notice any publicity regarding the Clinton Foundation's total lack of contributions to the victims? Yet I heard some asshat on a radio call in show, complaining that President Trump should have donated MORE than a MILLION dollars! | |||

They can't do it. Take away their sense of moral superiority, and all you have left is failed socialist programs that have demonstrated the people they intended to help. _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

What more do you want them to do? They changed their profile pictures to one with a filter with the flag of the affected area, they sent Good Vibes, and they shared something Buzzfeed or George Takei posted with a caption of "THIS" in all caps! They're goddamned heroes as far as I'm concerned!

Hopefully, the Clintons won't do to Florida what they did for Haiti. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

They hate this country and wish to see it destroyed, so why would they ever do anything to help Americans? | |||

When will lefties do the right thing? When they are completely and utterly defeated.
