I hope I'm not stepping over the line with the nature and length of this. I think I have learned the customs and courtesies here and I don't want to break any rules.

Incedently; I want the flood victims to get enough aid to help get themselves "established" with a job and a place to stay (along with basic needs taken care of).

I really care about the emailer. Did I answer properly?

God Bless you all!

Liberals aren't worth talking to. Any fact that cannot be bent to support their worldview is discarded, denied, or avoided.

For example, no liberal is going to touch the State of Louisiana's role in preparing for and relieving a disaster situation.

You didn't shoot 'em, so you weren't out of line.

And this ain't News.

You were not out of line. You spoke the truth, but alas, liberals can't handle the truth.

Tell your Lib friend that the President's first mission is to keep America safe - FROM OUR ENEMIES - NOT FROM THE WEATHER!!

The Left is trying to use our own words against us and some of us are falling for it. Protecting America safe from the weather IS NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION.

Protecting America safe from foreign enemies is.

Funny ... I just had the same argument with an old friend via email just half an hour ago. I believe we are no longer friends.

Yeah I think you said your peace with tact. I don't know your friend, but I wouldn't be suprised if you end up in an argument that turns into personal insult.
I had a friend who e-mailed me over the abu-ghraib BS, and one thing led to another and insults are all I got in return.
Needless to say, I felt it wasn't worth wasting time being friends with a mindless liberal. Sorry, but the last thing that moron needs to be doing is send you crap like this when he knows your political views.
These MOVeON guys are going to get the rug pulled out from under them. There's no way this can stand as Bush's fault. Oh, they will try --and they are going to fall...hard.

Only the lunatic fringe blames Republicans for any of this. Last poll said only 13%.
In Florida , when a hurricane hits, the lunatics blame Jeb Bush, only because he's a Republican. If he were a democrat, it would be his brother Georges fault!
In NY state, Guliani(R) handled 9/11. The mayor!
Give the American people some credit. Not everyone is an uneducated Democrat. They know who was in charge before and after the storm. They also know who came in to save the day, and it wasn't the democrats.

You were far too kind to this moron. There is no "shifting" the blame for anything. As anyone who bothered to actually LEARN the facts instead of having their opinons dictated to them by Democrat Party front Group Moveon knows, power in this situation rests in the hands of the locals" For example when they say

The idiot in charge of FEMA didn't allow the National

Please point out that the State of Louisiana Gov, not that "idiot" at FEMA, commands the local guard units. That State Gov Blanco is the "idiot" who FINALLY sent in a bare 300 ARMED NG troops on Thursday 48 hours AFTER the Levees broke to "restore" order. Over the Weekend, the President ASKED Gov Blanco to turn control over operations in NO to the Feds and was REFUSED by the Gov. (Source Sun Sept 4 Washington Post) Ask this person also to read today's front page Washington Post story about the hundreds of millions of Army Corp of Engineer projects State of Louisiana politicians, including Sen Mary Landeru, had redirected into prok barelle projects. Again, in THE Washington Post. This person would be well advised to turn off the Movon propaganda. They DO know that is an organization run as a front group for the Democrat Party right? Same way they would label anything sent out by the Repbos as "propaganda", they should treat anything sent out by "Moveoon"

Yes, I thought you did well. I want you to know that you inspired me. Here's mine to my paper. I'm limited to 300 words, this has 299. Thank you for the inspiration!!!!!! Anyone is welcome to copy.

The feds are forbidden by law to come into an area unless REQUESTED by the Governor. FEMA is NOT a first responder. Mr. Bush called the Democratic Governor and the Mayor and begged them to evacuate on the FRIDAY BEFORE THE STORM HIT. The National Guard is controlled by the Governor. The NO disaster plan was NOT implemented. Pictures of buses which could have evacuated LA citizens are all over the internet. Red Cross and Salvation Army were denied entry into NO. Florida, Mississippi and Alabama Republican leaders asked for aid.

To avoid the debate Democrats throw racial accusations. Not one Republican Senator was the Grand PooBah of the KKK as was Byrd, the Democratic 1952 vice presidential nominee was a segregationist, the Democratic majority leader in the Senate for ten years was a Klansman.. and Leahy has said that President Bush is purposely killing blacks.

The Republican Party was on the right side of the Civil War, passed the Voter Rights Act, voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Eisenhower sent troops to protect nine students and federalized the Arkansas National Guard when a governor refused to ensure integration, Reagan got the MLK holiday and extended the Voting Rights Act for 25 years, and Bush appointed more blacks to high-level positions in his cabinet than any previous president, including the first black woman as secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice.

Still, somehow, Republicans and Bush are racist. Anyone who remembers relief efforts during Floyd in Grifton knows better. I, for one, will not be lectured to by liars, a former klansman on race, a party that had a segregationist as it's vice presidential nominee in 1952, a party that refused to protect nine children, or by those who gave me what I just saw on TV last week.

I got a moronic letter forwarded to me that Michael Moore had written. This was at work, from a co-worker! I made it perfectly clear that this was bullcrap.

Great job hun!

Look, we've all got to stand up and demand to be heard.

Seriously, the Libs take our silence as cowardice, weakness or worst of all, agreement.

I blasted away yesterday on another forum where anti-Bush stuff was rampant, and it wasn't until I blasted back that the other conservatives started chiming in also.

We have got to make ourselves heard....and usually, we are the rational ones.
