The jury is still out on Bono, however, who is gaining a modicum of street cred by actually putting some effort and more than just a little of his own resources into doing 'something' about those in need.<br /><br />The reason the jury is still out is that for all of his efforts, I am not sure that he is making even a minuscule dent in relieving any misery anywhere.<br /><br />That, and I think he still has a fleet of Bentley's.

"We" must do something, surely "We" can help those poor wretches.<br /><br />As Pochahontas Elizabeth Warren would say, 'what mean 'we,', Kimosabe? Have'em heap big mouse in-em pocket?"<br /><br />If those blind but compassionate liberals really want to help, let them organize a great big liberal collection and allow liberal volunteers throw huge gobs of liberal money at the problem.<br /><br />But that will never happen, because liberals know deep inside that this gob of money would do nothing at all to help, and would just diminish their yacht payments.<br /><br />That's why 'WE' means the rest of us, not them.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-16229850102871631982015-01-04T04:53:15.880-08:002015-01-04T04:53:15.880-08:00Gorges:

Or alternately people like Nancy Pelosi could turn her lavish and spacious mansion into a hospital for the destitute insane, or a treatment center for drug addicts or a rehab center for crack whores.<br /><br />Al Gore and Oprah could turn their Montecito mansions into training centers for illegal aliens who want to do more than just pick grapes.<br /><br />They could give up their limos and Bentleys and drive Honda Civics. But they don't. The elite progressives simply want to spend other people's money to create a 'Marxist utopia'.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-88388094106429886772015-01-03T18:59:07.595-08:002015-01-03T18:59:07.595-08:00I'd say you understand them perfectly Fredd.I'd say you understand them perfectly Fredd.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-45752440916246839272015-01-03T16:57:02.047-08:002015-01-03T16:57:02.047-08:00There's a certain kind of optimism in a lot of...There's a certain kind of optimism in a lot of them.<br />A feeling that we MUST do SOMETHING and that surely there is sOMETHING that could be done.<br />And that we should try it.<br />I've worked with them.<br />I was one.<br />Not rich, not poor, just compassionate.<br />And blind.Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.com
