Billy McKinney, Cynthia's disgraceful father, a few years ago said one of them lost an election because of the JOOOOS.

[ozzymandus]

The race-baiters never miss a chance.

In a fiery speech, African-American Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney both applauded Kanye West's statement "George Bush doesn't care about black people" and compared the temporary housing of New Orleans' evacuees in the Superdome and Convention Center as Nazi-like tactics.

Oooops, she forgot to put in the "like the hold of a slave ship" jab. /sarc

I have a problem understanding why FEMA is giving away $2000 of taxpayers money when these "victims" should have had insurance or is getting money on top of the insurance. This was a natural disaster and I really feel for the "victims" but I don't want to feel that every time something happens we should just give away money to compensate them for their mistake. To even finance a place in most states require flood insurance on top of homeowners if one moves in a flood plain and New Orleans was definitely in a flood plain being 8-20ft below sea level.

I use to think Cynthia was on crack; however, after watching her dad Billy, I realized she was just carrying on a family tradition of stupidity

[SJackson]

My impression is that the $2,000 is going to the 80,000 or so refugees, bad word I know, not everyone who evacuated the area. If I'm wrong about that, I hope someone will post the info. I think federally subsidized flood insurance is something that needs to be reconsidered before construction begins in the area.

[tobyhill]

FEMA website states 230,000.

Sadly what comes out of the NOLA disaster is a field day of showing the left wingers for what they really are: Mindless, loud mouthed slugs. Those are their good points.

"Some service stations took the advantage of the rumors to raise prices to as much as $6 a gallon. Gov. Sonny Perdue has promised to take names and kick fannies."

Sonny Perdue is an ass, with the understanding of economics that comes from spending too long under socialism.

How many people actually PAID $6 a gallon for that gas?
Darned few, right?

Then that $6 price tag served its' purpose - it cut consumption, and prevented an outright shortage.

When pump prices go up, you can be assured of a couple things:
First, consumption will go down, thus averting soemthing even worse: rationing, or long gas lines.
Second, it's a sign that we have free markets.

Tell ol' "Sonny" that Walter Williams could explain it all in words simple enough even a Georgia governor could understand.

[SJackson]

We, as the world's most powerful nation have a responsibility to act in defense of the weak and to protect them from harm. We failed in Rwanda - We failed in Srebrenica - We failed in East Timor. And now, as we speak - We fail in Jenin..

Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney
OPENING STATEMENT

I want to thank you all for coming today.

I especially want to thank our esteemed speakers for traveling, in some instances quite a long way, to be with us today.

Our speakers are courageous individuals who have gone to many of Africa's most dangerous and desperately poor locations, not for wealth or riches, but in order to merely discover the truth. They provide us with a remarkable insight into what has gone on in Africa and what continues to go on in Africa today.

Much of what you will hear today has not been widely reported in the public media. Powerful forces have fought to suppress these stories from entering the public domain.

Their investigations into the activities of Western governments and Western businessmen in post-colonial Africa provide clear evidence of the West's long-standing propensity for cruelty, avarice, and treachery. The misconduct of Western nations in Africa is not due to momentary lapses, individual defects, or errors of common human frailty. Instead, they form part of long-term malignant policy designed to access and plunder Africa's wealth at the expense of Africa's people. In short, the accounts you are about to hear provide an indictment of Western activities in Africa.

The West has, for decades, plundered Africa's wealth and permitted, and even, assisted in slaughtering Africa's people. The West has been able to do this while still shrewdly cultivating the myth that much of Africa's problems today are African made--we have all heard the usual Western defenses that Africa's problems are the fault of corrupt African administrations, centuries-old tribal hatreds, the fault of unsophisticated peoples. But we know that those statements are all a lie. We have always known it.

The accounts we are about to hear today assist us in understanding just why Africa is in the state it is in today. You will hear that at the heart of Africa's suffering is the West's, and most notably the United States', desire to access Africa's diamonds, oil, natural gas, and other precious resources. You will hear that the West, and most notably the United States, has set in motion a policy of oppression, destabalisation and tempered, not by moral principle, but by a ruthless desire to enrich itself on Africa's fabulous wealth. While falsely pretending to be the friends and allies of many African countries, so desperate for help and assistance, many western nations have in reality betrayed those countries' trust--and instead, have relentlessly pursued their own selfish military and economic policies. Western countries have incited rebellion against stable African governments by encouraging and even arming opposition parties and rebel groups to begin armed insurrection. The Western nations have even actively participated in the assassination of duly-elected and legitimate African Heads of State and replaced them with corrupted and malleable officials. Western nations have even encouraged and been complicit in the unlawful invasions by African nations into neighboring counties.

Something must be done to right these wrongs.

I invite you to listen and learn first-hand of the West's activities in Africa.

I use to think Cynthia was on crack;

She probably is and probably gets it from Daddy

[possumdawg]

I wouldn't be surprised no joke. I once lived in the District she represents and that type of commerce was/is common.Thank God I married a woman who had more sense than me and we moved to the mountains of Georgia.

[Tallguy]

I'm invoking the "Jonah Goldberg Rule" which states that the first person to make a Nazi-analogy in any debate is automatically the loser. You lose, Cynthia!
