If you are waiting for the Federal Government to help, then you are going to be waiting a long time. FEMA is like the DMV on valium. Take a number and take a seat.
If you are on Staten Island and need help, then go to your local church (I know, you enlightened New Yorkers all stopped going to church when Darwin was born, but find one and go to it) and see what relief you can get there. And if you live there and don’t need help but have some free time, then go to your local church and volunteer to pass out supplies or clear debris or baby sit children or whatever else you can do.
As Ronald Reagan said, the scariest words in the English language are “We’re from the Government and we’re here to help you.”
Post of the day for me!
This election is really an election about what the culture of America is going to be going forward.
obama represents the culture of govt dependence, moral decline and no absolutes.
Romney represents the culture of self reliance, moral standards and absolutes.
In my heart I am praying that Dick Morris is right that it will be a tsunami.
Staten Islanders are NYC's most active churchgoers. Tight-knit Italian and Irish communities and AME-Zion and COGIC churches there as well.
BTW, McCain won Staten Island 52/47 in 2008.
