Nor is it economically viable.
WOnderful! ROFLOL....Must keep that one.
Agreed.
Not sure, that statement is new since I saw their site several days ago.
Carolina is up 10 to 7 over Patriots....will do some checking after Football Sunday, Chiefs tonight over Oakland....
Continually amazes me how the connection to the Deficit of the lost in Fed Tax Revenue plus the costs in care taking the Evacuees over an extended time frame just bounces off the Cast Iron Conservatives feelings that the Feds should do NOTHING. I do agree with them that this should be PAID FOR with spending off sets but this rabid need to scream "the Feds should do nothing" in hundreds of posts here at Free Republic is really getting wearisome.
Excellent point, the media is guilty of over kill and the people tune them out and go do their own thing. I can remember Channel 7, the Fox affiliate in Miami would start to hype for Hurricanes as soon as they were 1 mile off the African coast. That was really overkill. If there was a survey that showed that The MSM was causing early death of Democrat voters because of the overhype and negativity, it would stop, but I do not believe that kind of survey is possible.
Dang---and it sounded so good when I typed it, too!!!
I guess that is why I am a Bush fan, though, I see what can be....but unfortunately, in the world, there is the "what is"....like you just described.
How does one then, if it is possible, get people to take "pride" in their lives..their surroudings, their family, their selves, their country????
I think that Bush is trying to instill that...and like you just pointed out...it doesn't work with some people...
and, I am sure is resented and not respected by some people, coming from President George Bush.
Good points, Morgan.....sigh..
Anyone watching FOX? This black couple from NO got married. The bride said they planned to get married in April but postponed it. Now they had to because they didn't live together before the storm, but as evacuees they were now forced to live together and it was "not Christian to live together before marriage". The Fox reporter babe was taken aback by the response and agreed "of course its not".
What I've seen time and time again in some of these first person interviews is how religious these poor people are. Their faith takes them through hard times; maybe that's why they relate so much to President Bush and not the locals. They know frauds when they see them.
In support, you can add Bush's No Child Left Behind Act which did the same thing. Bush took the issue away from the left. Now they complain it's not funded but is easily countered by explaining it's fully funded but the left is having problems playing by the rules to get the money. The same thing happened with faith-based charities. These dilute the secular charities, for one thing, and it takes that issue off the table because Bush is doing more than they thought he would. Eventually, we can compare faith-based to secular and make the argument to eliminate those charities that don't work in favor of those that do. In both of these cases a Republican President is doing the things the left has complained about for years, and it allows us to show America how to resolve problems instead of throwing more and more money away on the problem without results. BTW, the same thing happened with welfare reform. It's been a success but the media and left can't bring themselves to admit it.
Always amazes me how "Conservatives" claim Reagan as their intellectual Godfather while ignoring the times he made the best of bad deals and signed things like 2 tax increases and an illegal alien amnesty. But I guess the Reagan of their daydreams is more comfortable for them to cling to then the Reagan of reality.
Great, I just bTTP again.
Did anyone else hear this report?
While I agree Reagan made his share of mistakes, he was far more conservative than any president in my lifetime, including President Bush.
Oh, my goodness....Fox is running a story about getting a "CZAR" to take care of the Hurricane rebuilding...and handling the money, etc...
They are showing snippets from a TIME article that says that one candidate would be John Breaux ex-Sen. from LA...
YIKES...that would be awful..talk about someone that needs to be subpeoned in the investigation to find out WHY all of the federal funds and mandate to fix the levees, NEVER HAPPENED>..
jeez louise, that would be like putting the Fox in charge of the hen house!!!
BTW, a dem strategist said it needs to be a cabinet level appointee...which means Senate approval...oh, yeah..THAT"s gonna happen.../s
To be honest, I don't know if there is an answer. Perhaps baby steps in taking responsibility for themselves or putting these decisions under a conservative charity that won't put up with any crap from the recipients. I like your sentiments but would like more active involvment with non-government organizations that are held accountable for success or failure.
No thanks some of us did not eat lunch yet, if I saw that thang I could not eat all day. It could be called the Nadler diet, put a picture of him on your fridge and you would never open it again.
I see no evidence of that. The President would be foolish to write off the WH internal polls and the public polling that goes on. Polls are just a snap shot but they tare a critical part in many respects to governing the nation. The Clinton WH followed the polls, as did the Bush41 WH, the Reagan WH, the Carter WH, Ford, Nixon, LBJ, JFK, Eisenhower.
Great stuff snugs than you very much. Excellent photos.
