Robertson even suggested that the catastrophe may be &#8220;a blessing in disguise&#8221; because there might be massive rebuilding to follow in what has long been the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere.<\/p>\n<p>Rush, on the other, blames &#8220;communism&#8221; for the natural disaster and poverty on the island.<\/p>\n<p><embed src=\"http:\/\/downloads.cbn.com\/cbnnewsplayer\/cbnplayer.swf?aid=13150\" height=\"330\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/cHqrfwxRnovd8HAWjXmnBkrlwjk\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/cHqrfwxRnovd8HAWjXmnBkrlwjk\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/cHqrfwxRnovd8HAWjXmnBkrlwjk\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/cHqrfwxRnovd8HAWjXmnBkrlwjk\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re not the only ones who think most of the conservatives in this country are high.
