Those people freaked out when a sidewalk magician came in and did simple card tricks how do you think they'd view an earthquake?

As for Limbaugh saying they are in that situation due to their communist government. I didn't think Haiti was communist but more of a monarchy (still a shitty form of government). Anyways has this earthquake affected their neighbor who shares the same island? The Dominican Republic is on the same island, has the same people, but a different government (and they didn't make a deal with the devil).

Sucks for the people, but they'll manage. Especially since private donations alone from Americans will probably be double of their GDP. Then add in the rest of the world and our government, they'll come out great. That's one hell of a deal from the devil.

Wait...is this a serious post or are you mocking someone else?

Sounds like it's just a regurgitation of the usual old wives tales from people who don't know the difference between Satan and Baron Samedi. It has that Christian Missionary flavour to it, in which anyone else's beliefs are akin to 'witchcraft.'

And we all know, "Suffer ye not a witch to live."
