You don't believe peaceful political change is possible any longer? I do.
How will you do this, D? Will you threaten me, like you threatened the President?
Should I be afraid?
I say we bet on how long it is before we hear from Jesse Jackson, demanding a "part" in this rebuilding.
Bump.
You too, knock it off.
We have the MSM crying uncle in having to praise President Bush and we have Freepers bashing him.
Go figure.
I'm not white and I didn't need anybody brandishing a "weapon" to pull me from the RATs and into conservative beliefs. All I needed was limited government and my tax dollars being managed in a sound manner, something the President does not believe in now.
What is it now, something like $30 TRILLION since LBJ from decent hardworking taxpayers that have been spent on the black hole of "poverty"? And President Bush is still blaming "discrimination" for New Orleans??? C'mon!!!!!!!! People came to this nation in the early 1900s with no English and no money and NO GOVT FREEBIES. They found a way to help themselves and they looked within their inner self for desire to build a foundation around them financially through their own efforts, NOT the government's.
Probably 80% or more on Free Republic.com tonight are third or fourth generation descendants of Europeans who came to this country with NOTHING and were GIVEN NOTHING but survived, prospered and taught their children how to think for themselves and believe in themselves and help each other in times of crisis.
Just the fact that thousands of posts at FR tonight are being made tonight by the children of these immigrants who had as hard (OR HARDER) than blacks have had in New Orleans and elsewhere proves that what we saw in New Orleans is due to one thing only--a group of people who refuse to climb out of the cellar and look within themselves to "move up the ladder" the way the ancestors of nearly every single person posting on Free Republic.com tonight had to do.
For President Bush to say the New Orleans scene was due to "racial discrimination" is a kick in the groin to the pain and sweat my ancestors gave to teach my "minority family" how to get ahead in life. My nonwhite ancestors came to this nation in 1908 and had a far, far harder time than any black person in New Orleans. My grandparents did not receive one penny of any $30 TRILLION social welfare kitty.
Your comment about "a powerful weapon to continue to pull black voters from the Democrats" is atrocious. Our Commander in Chief should not be concerned about voting blocks. He should be concerned about the future of this nation and the giant screwing that is being done to decent taxpayers of this nation.
People live where they want to live, the government backs up flood insurance because The people want the government to do so.
Do you have fire insurance in Atlanta?
My son was so incredulous. He just couldn't believe how the interviewer was trying to lead the person so obviously.
Wow. Had to read thru over 1800 posts but then...there it was...your post. Thank you for that. I agree.
I sometimes wonder how you types can bear to get through the day.
Thank you!
If someone with a (D) next to their name does it then it's welfare and socialism. If a person with an (R) does it then it's extending hope.
He sure did and he did it without making one negative comment in response to all the carping.
How did George W spend money for 6 years when he took office on Jan 2001? Was he filling in for Clinton? My calculations show 4 years and 8 months. 6 years ago was 1999.
Geeez---I must be sleepy, I thought the guy or gal that posted that was talking about another poster named F16fighter.
Now, O, you know he has major issues with women. Always has, always will.
Prostitutes do what they have to do.
I don't think so, not in the billions range. Mugabe is a Marxist and not our best buddy.
