Just because FOX News and one person on this list said it, doesn't mean that the entire "moral-majority" or whatever you want to call conservatives these days are fully behind it. I'm a conservative, and my personal opinion on this issue is that there needs to be some limits to what we do in dangerous areas (high-rise buildings in LA are specifically DESIGNED to withstand earthquakes, for example), but I agree that people everywhere have something they deal with and we as a country need to step up and help them.

Use a narrower brush next time, then. Call out the specific people, not an entire group. I thought Sack had a good point (he was very careful to attack people who CHOOSE to stay, not the large numbers who were stuck) that others chose to misinterpret, but you were the first to bring in the political angle to this.
