Soledad, is that what they call her? She’s named for a prison ! This explains a lot.

I understand you are upet. See this video - and read the comments - and laugh at the idiots.

Breaking: The mainstream media finally covers Libya

It is an SOS (Special Ops Speaks) video. Great guys!

Why do have campaign laws? It’s obvious they have placed political plants in the media.

I saw a black guy on TV this morning saying, "Romney has to be careful. Anything he says will politicize the storm, so he needs to keep his distance."

At first I thought it might be a black Conservative, commenting on the double-standard -- but it turns out it was a pro-Obama guy basically saying Romney should get off stage and allow Obama to have 100% of the storm-related media coverage.

I hate these people.

[LibLieSlayer]

Romney was 100% correct about FEMA... I know... I dealt with them after Katrina and they wasted money like it grew on trees... allowed scammers to steal our hard earned money and made suggestions on how to maximize your claim and free money. They were here in Mississippi and did a good job of helping those in need... but half of the money went to people that did not deserve it and in some cases did not live here and had never been through a hurricane. Mitt is correct... it needs to be made more efficient and it needs to partner with private enterprise to cut costs. **** obama and anyone else that is of the left... they are all a waste of human life and they all waste oxygen.

Look at the difference between Romney’s response and Obama’s response:

Obama, I need to stop campaigning so that I can control the government response to Sandy (even though I have a FEMA director and layer upon layer of bureaucrats to handle all of this)!

Romney, I will stop campaigning and I want you to send your help and money towards helping the people of the northeast!

One says, let us, we the people, help our brothers and sisters in need. The other says, let me use this opportunity to LOOK like I actually care.

[hitkicker]

I expect that we’ll also hear more babbling from the libs about how Sandy “proves” that their global warming “theories” (heh fairy tales) are correct. They act as though there was no such thing as a hurricane prior to the Industrial Revolution.

Here is an Obama quote that applies equally to Soedad:

“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully,” Obama wrote in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” “The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists.”

Black blood is something that runs strong in people of mixed race.Probably because they are accepted more readily than in the white race.Most carry around a bitter burden that they belong to neither race.

What do you expect from an Affirmative-American?

"So you think the state of Delaware can provide all that assistance without FEMA? Because you know, that is what Mitt Romney said - that FEMA should be returned to the states. Do you think you can get by without FEMA?"

Please note: "RETURNED TO THE STATES!"

Right now, we (the state tax-payers) send dollars to the U.S. Government and then have to BEG and BORROW our OWN money BACK from them in order to start repairing and recovering from a disaster.

And that is BETTER than having our own resources fully funded and ready to immediately respond to our own needs WITHOUT having to convince some up-stream a-hole that we really do need to get this particular area cleaned/repaired FIRST, since it would help speed the REST of the recovery!

Having been in the Marine Corps when we had a MAJOR snow storm along the NC Coast, I sat through meetings where the NC State Reps were screaming at FEMA about wasted resources! FEMA ordered the Marines to start clearing roads but the state was trying to give SPECIFIC roads, paths and parking lots to be cleared FIRST which would allow them to setup resource camps closer to those affected - FEMA said, "Just start clearing roads from Camp Lejeune to the outer banks - don't worry about paths or parking lots."

Local control and resources would be BETTER for specific response - the state KNOWS their people and resources BETTER than some outside group! PERIOD!

If Katrina was Bush’s fault, then isn’t Obama at fault for Sandy?

[libertylover]

Reminds me of people who start talking about characters on TV shows and assume that everybody else watches the same show. So, ah, just who is Soledad O'Brien?

[theBuckwheat]

If the answer is measured in dollars, since the federal government has the monopoly on the ability to create dollars out of thin air, then the question is downright silly. The federal government can create an infinite number of dollars, but no state can.

But this entirely misses the point. Every dollar that we accept from any government must come from somewhere. Since almost all states must balance their budget every fiscal year, the State must turn to the real creators of real wealth, the citizen, and ask (in a political sense) for the money via taxation with their consent.

But when we accept a dollar from the federal government, since it runs a budget deficit, each additional dollar must come from borrowing or inflating the currency, since the federal government is not willing to sell any capital assets to raise the money.

In short, by accepting federal dollars, we embezzle the funds from all holders of dollars. We rob the collective wealth-bank of private wealth stored in the US currency. We put the burden of helping localized victims on everyone, even if they don’t want to help. We also increase the power of the federal government at the expense of the local aid giver.

We also give politicians the opportunity to expand their power beyond what we ever dreamed they could.

For example: FEMA has a Youth Corps.

see:

Obama FEMA Corp recruits conjure up memories of the Hitler Youth of 1930’s Germany

http://www.infowars.com/obama-fema-corp-recruits-conjure-up-memories-of-the-hitler-youth-of-1930s-germany/

Now, it is a long way from just wanting to help people in an emergency to having a standing army of uniformed young people ready to be dispatched at the command of a bureaucrat. What stops such bureaucrat from calling out the Youth Corps to help in ways that are politically expedient for one party? Not much. Or to help suppress the free expression of political opinion by those who oppose the party in power? Not much.

In fact we know that the party in power does not hesitate to run interference when it has to. We only have to look at the voter intimidation campaign run by the Black Panthers and how the Holder Justice Department refused to investigate that crime as a good example.

Government that is big enough to help us in any emergency is big enough to run our lives when there is no emergency.
