No he is not an actual conservative. Like Buchanan, he is just a bitter loser who left the conservative movement and became a useful idiot for liberals and their media whores.

Ultracon.........one who claims to be superior due to conservative credentials, but often sides with the extreme left against rational conservatives (i.e. the real ones).

And now I know that you have decoder rings too. How fun it must be to be a member of your club!

All of us real conservatives are very jealous now. Can we join??

(NO cliffs now, though, F16. You can fall off those yourselves).

Jackson Square and the Cathedral are symbols of New Orleans. Scarborough and Williams are symbols of the stupidity of television journalism.

I certainly hope that we never have to ask why people in Northridge never had to have earthquake insurance.

What does that mean? If a person lives in an area prone to flooding, they should have flood insurance or not live there.

I'm beginning to think this President is capable of a lot of things so maybe taking on the environmental community should be next.

I nearly fell off the chair when Scarborough said he and Tony Blankley were the only two conservatives left.

Scarborough putting himself in that category?????????????

He must be smoking funny stuff.

He's been trashing Bush for three straight weeks, night after night.

For 6 years, Bush has been spending money like a drunken sailor? Surely you've heard of this, right? I'm not talking about military spending either.

For a guy who claims no allegiance to one man or party, you've been drinking from somebody's Kool-Aid.

I guarantee I and the overwhelming majority of posters on FR could do a better job with the funds and reconstruction than mayor Nagin and governor Blanko combined.

Don't be ridiculous; I have always been a staunch supporter of the President, but that does not mean I have to sit idly by and say and do nothing when he makes proposals that are going to further bankrupt the country, my family and my children’s children just so that he can try to get a vocal minority, who hates his guts, to "love" him. As Rush aptly said: "No matter how much you give these people it will NEVER be enough. If President Clinton had said what President Bush did tonight, FR would have caught on fire from the heat that posters would have generated. However, President Bush is a Republican so we are not supposed to say anything, in spite of it’s being a foolish proposal.

Sorry, I can not stand by while the government picks my pocket to rebuild a city built upon shifting mud that sits 18 to 25 feet below sea level and is presently, nearly completely corrupted with filth, poisons and toxins!

In case you do not realize it; the ENTIRE fresh/clean water system throughout the ENTIRE city has been completely ruined. It was nearly entirely flooded with toxic, biological and chemical waste. When the water is pumped out, all those toxins will remain and grow and there is NOTHING that anyone can do about it in order to completely cleanse/restore it apart from completely replacing all of it. That is not my assessment, that is the assessment of someone with a Ph.D. in the field. Are you ready to pay for it because I can not, and that is just the beginning.

BRAVO BUMP for your great post.

And the best part is he's using conservative principles....a hand up....not a hand out!

"I also propose that Congress pass an Urban Homesteading Act."

I wonder if a mule will be included? :-)

where are you geting this idea that suddenly, the generational welfare state is going to embrace enterprise and self-reliance as a result of this? Just because Bush said so, its going to automatically happen?

It is not going to be sweeping or sudden but it will happen to a great many people who have been kept in the dark by their Democrat slave master politicians will see the light.

The light will reveal the lie.

Pres. Bush couldn't have picked a better setting for a message of hope. Think of what the evacuees sitting on cots in a shelter must have felt when they saw one of the most beautiful symbols of their city dry and beautiful!

I cannot, for the life of me, understand how you faux conservatives keep getting responses from mostly intelligent FReepers. I wouldn't give you guys the time of day.

ROFLMAO!

Do you remember how much money EACH of the 9/11 families received? This above their very substantial life insurrance packages?

I just read someone else's justification for spending so much money on rebuilding New Orleans. It was something about all the lost tax revenue from every day that goes by without NO in working order.

And I have your best interests at heart. What if you ever have to go before a RAT committee? They will now have proof that you did not pay taxes on/for your employees. I would probably do the same as you. :)
