The Amish Are Doing More for Western North Carolina Than FEMA Has Done With Another 29 Billion

The people of Western North Carolina have had a stable Christmas and will definitely have a happier New Year thanks to a number of organizations, from Samaritan's Purse to United Cajun Navy to individuals like Shawn Hendrix, Chris Hall, and so many others. They have worked (and are still working) to provide food, shelter, and resources to the families affected by September's Hurricane Helene disaster, and they also brought Christmas to everyone in the region who experienced the devastation of their homes and their lives.

But the Amish of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, have risen like cream to the top. This is not even their region of the country, but a group of them with “Cabins for Christ” came down in October, created campsites for themselves away from the wreckage so that they would not disrupt the cleanup and assessment, and set themselves to build homes for the people who had lost theirs.

But to no one's surprise, the resurrection of Western North Carolina will have little to do with the governmental agency that is supposed to be boots on the ground in the midst of disaster: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). They claim, "Our mission is helping people before, during and after disasters. Our core values and goals help us achieve it." Tragically, despite billions being poured into their coffers, they haven't achieved much for the citizens of Western North Carolina  .  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Let me tell ya, the Amish and Mennonites can build fast, efficient, and high quality with little waste. I know of a couple of Amish boys that built a small barn in record time and you could fit the leftover lumber in a 5 gallon bucket.
