In my honest Bible-based opinion, EVERYTHING is a part of God's plan because HE CONTROLS/ALLOWS/NOT ALLOWS EVERYTHING. Point blank. Now, that assertion of Ann Coulter's was so far off base that I was actually embarrassed for her. That Harvey hit Houston was due to Annise Parker being a lesbian was the joke of the century because Parker is liberal BUT, what about Mary Cheney...Dick Cheney's daughter who is also openly gay? She was also over specific organizations, but folks, you cannot pay Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh, Levine, or ANY OF THEM to lash out at her. Listen here, all these people who are at all out war with immigrants and gays are PURE HYPOCRITES and the following link will outline just who's actually RECEIVING something from those 'illegals' while complaining about having to also help them out.

Major excerpt:

-It works like this: Many immigrants who aren’t authorized to work in the United States buy fake Social Security cards and present them to their employers, who either don’t know they are fake or don’t look too closely. When the employer submits a W-2 form and a tax payment on those workers’ behalf to the Social Security Administration, the federal government holds onto those payroll taxes, even if the Social Security number isn’t linked to anyone on file. And then, a large chunk of that money ends up in the Social Security trust funds, from which retirement benefits are doled out to aging Americans.-

So, ONCE AGAIN RACISTS AND EXTREMISTS, THINK ABOUT THAT. These same 'illegals' are paying for you to sit on your azz and drink your favorite liquor/brew. More on this later...in detail.

As far as this thing with Joel goes, I get the idea that he wanted to make sure his facility wouldn't be adversely affected by the storm before inviting droves of people in and risking their safety/health. Just because he didn't rush out to the press, while water was yet still rising, and announcing his place was a shelter doesn't mean anything. Where's the patience and consideration? I'm only going by what a very trustworthy person that attends his church told me. It would've been the utmost of hypocrisy had he not opened or ever mentioned his facility after a fair amount of time. Now, as far as Harvey being part of God's plan, I asserted the same sentiment. I feel this was allowed to accomplish many things. When that last rain storm hit Louisiana, hell, people were flooded out and in dire need just like now but they STILL managed to come out against Obama who was doing everything he could.

Just last night, I watched an interview of some well to do lady out in big bad KINGWOOD. She talked about how the storm so affected her and her family...as though it didn't anyone else. The subject of the interview was all the HUGE piles of trash, ruined furniture, and clothing that was just piled up along the curbside in front of EVERY SINGLE HOUSE and how 'the clean up crew was moving so slowly' and that 'someone was going to have to step up.' The sheer never of a person like this, and, the one's in Louisiana slamming an at their disposal president in the middle of water, is almost unfathomable. Yet, they exist. For so many, critical thinking is a thing of the distant past.
