Oklahomans After the Moore Tornado


Shepard Smith yesterday afternoon on Fox News Studio B with Shepard Smith was a little amazed at something.
SMITH:  It is impressive that literally 24 hours after this storm hit there are cleanup crews and tear-down people, and they are working on every corner.  It's astounding how quickly they got started.
RUSH:  He can't believe it.  A tornado hit and then 24 hours later, my golly, they're already starting to rebuild.  Can you believe that?  Why, they're not sitting around feeling sorry for themselves and sucking on straws and stuff. Why, these people are actually tearing down stuff and starting to rebuild already.  Who woulda thought, I mean, the government's not even there yet.  FEMA's not even there yet.  They haven't even gotten their disaster money yet, Mabel, look at those people.  They're already starting to rebuild. 

RUSH: I want to play a sound bite from a montage of people who lost everything.  From last night and this morning, these are tornado victims in Oklahoma.  This is what I mean when I say that these people are the backbone of this country.
MAN:  My security isn't in the things I own.  My security is in the Lord.
WOMAN:  The last thing we lose in a situation like this is faith.  We have to hold onto faith and trust God every moment.
MAN:  You salvage what you can salvage. You thank God that he has another plan for you.
MAN:  I'm a believer in Jesus, and by the grace of God, me and my children are alive, and our house is -- we can repair it.
WOMAN:  We prayed that God would save our house.  We also prayed that if God didn't, he would get us through, and he will.
MAN:  By the grace of God, it's just amazing.
WOMAN:  We know that God is good, and we know that there's people out there who are still alive, and we're gonna find 'em.
RUSH:  The media, as you can imagine, could not understand any of that.  They were just shocked.  They were literally stunned that, of all things, people would be thankful to God after such a thing.  In the media's minds, at least if you're gonna be thankful, be thankful to Obama who's gonna send in rescue aid, if that happens, by the way.  Talk to people in New York and New Jersey about all the aid for Sandy. See if that happens.
