“Let this sink in for a minute.....Hundreds and hundreds of small boats pulled by countless pickups and SUVs from across the South are headed for Houston. Almost all of them driven by men,” Cayman Sartin posted Friday.
“They're using their own property, sacrificing their own time, spending their own money, and risking their own lives for one reason: to help total strangers in desperate need.”
The volunteer response to help rescue people from the flooding is by all accounts overwhelming. Ordinary people set out in boats, kayaks, even refrigerators, braving hazardous conditions to try to save lives. Thousands have signed up to volunteer with the Red Cross and other disaster relief organizations. Donations are pouring in. The Cajun Navy deployed.
“Most of them are by themselves,” Sartin’s post continues. “Most are dressed like the redneck duck hunters and bass fisherman they are. Many are veterans. Most are wearing well-used gimme-hats, t-shirts, and jeans; and there's a preponderance of camo. Most are probably gun owners, and most probably voted for Trump.”
Individual Americans didn’t wait for the government to come help people before seeing a need and rising to the occasion.

Excuse but shouldn't it be attaMAN not boy? There was so much stereotyping in that article that while reading it I was expecting a country and western song to start up. Like the man and truck stereotype I mean HELLO some of us actually talk about cars and motorcycles while drinking beer and shooting fish instead of trucks.

“These are the people the Left loves to hate, the ones Maddow mocks. The ones Maher and Olbermann just *know* they're so much better than,” says the post. “These are The Quiet Ones. They don't wear masks and tear down statues. They don't, as a rule, march and demonstrate.”

Wait, so you know for sure he's not in TX and hasn't helped people? He has a TV show avatar, big deal, avatars don't always make the person. In fact that avatar goes along with this sites science topics.
