When you lefties stop aborting children in the millions, you can talk to me about morality.
Conservative Christians are far more generous than lefties.
BTW....where's the $100?
I will agree with that.. last year at this time some of my on line motorcycle buddies (all conserv) found out i got into a little trouble. While i never asked for a cent, suddenly checks started to arrive and none were less than that $100.
I had to go ballistic before they would stop and about 9 checks came! each one had a note as to the 'why' behind it, which was mainly I saved these guys a lot more money than they sent, but never the less I will go with out before i become a beggar.
Not one lefty sent a stamp.......... There are a few lefties on the site too.
None of these guys will accept pay back either which is still a current problem for me.
The only way it can work for me is before i have done the same thing, and ever took up the on line collection where I had to conquer trust to get gifts to send to the family in need. No one at that time had ever met me face to face and i did come up with about a grand to send.
Hell no. Would you give your brother a kidney? Screw that leech. It is totally un-American to help Americans. Especially the ones that pay the most taxes.
The normal is a 25% State / 75% Federal split which seems more than fair. Giving 100% is writing a blank check with no responsibility to the state. It should be like a down payment on a house and having a stake in the game. When you are able to get all expenses paid, why worry about what it costs.
NY loves to brag about their great economy and independence. Pass a flood tax to pay your 25%.
Considering NY state pays more $ to the federal govt then it receives, I would say they have the right to brag about their economy.

I'd be happy to give a Kidney, just not both kidneys.
If we are truly the Christian nation we claim to be then why wouldn't the rest of the country want to help pay for the costs of devastating disasters that happen around the country? This one, Sandy, is too big for any local area to absorb the costs of clean up and that's what our disaster relief funds are designed to do. By the grace of God it could have been you or me....and still could be in the future. Then we'd be the ones glad for the aid of our fellow tax payers.
Local areas aren't asked to absorb the full costs of clean-up, they are asked to contribute to the costs of clean-up. The federal government typically pays 75% of the clean-up per the article. Local and state contribute 25%. It concerns me that when local and state authorities are making decisions over the clean-up, that if the costs aren't coming out of their coffers to some degree, that one of the incentives for keeping those costs down is gone.
Considering NY state pays more $ to the federal govt then it receives, I would say they have the right to brag about their economy.
So NY should have the $$ to contribute to it's fair share towards rebuilding of damaged infrastructure. Knowing how NYC spends money, I'm not open to giving them a blank check.

funny how you wrote "Conservative christians" as if there are no "Liberal Christians", hate to break this to you, but many of my friends who are doctors and nurses see more white folks having abortions and lets say a good half of them are "Christians", that is still more than any groups combined who are having these abortions. You do not have any facts to back up your claim.
Who's having abortions (religion)?
Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. 18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical".
As a liberal and a Democrat who believes in shared burdens and recognizes that New York is one of those states that contributes more to the federal revenues than they receive in return I am stunned by this request. 100 percent reimbursement for "economic" loses? I'm sorry but such a request is simply out of line with both precedent and fiscal reality and leaves me speechless especially Cuomo's demand that local governments in New York state stop demanding more assistance from the state's government.
