Oh you say, Pat Robertson is no longer America’s leading Christian! Oh, okay… I guess that title would now have to go to the Reverend Rick Warren who helps fund the Uganda Christians who support life imprisonment and the death penalty for being gay.
Not to be out done Rush Limbaugh used the quake to attack President Obama’s quick response as "light skinned" race politics. Oh, he also blamed communism.
Right-wing despots Papa Doc and Baby Doc were prefixed and suffixed by an endless stream of right-wing military fascists who were anything but communists.

He was again elected in 2000 and retained power for 3 years before be was again deposed with US help.
No, being the poorest nation in our hemisphere is because of what George Bush the Father so well expressed in 1980 when he defined Reaganomics as VOODOO ECONOMICS. Also called the Tinkle Down theory and the Yellow Rain. It is not race or religion that drives a nation into corruption, but abject poverty in which basic survival is based on bribery.
As you know, bribery at low levels is a horrible horrible thing while bribery at the highest levels is the cherished American way of life.
