BTW, I EXPECT the President of the United States to PERSONALLY telephone ME when the next TORNADO WARNING in my area is issued. If he doesn't send in the military to rescue my family I will hold him responsible. /sarcasm!

Well said! People must note what results from the creation of a "dependency class" -- and realize that the growth of that class is the goal of Socialists such as Hillary Clinton.

Remember this quote? "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good." What do you think the "common good" is but the dependency class? It's the Socialist strategy of "keepin' 'em down". That "'em" is "us"....anyone outside the ruling class of the likes of Biden, Boxer, Clinton, Kennedy, Pelosi.

Watch and see who recovers more quickly from the damages of the hurricane: those who roll up their sleeves and take an active role in recovery, or those who await perpetual handouts because it's all that they've ever known....then vote accordingly. Who do you want in charge...enablers or those who keep people disabled by making them dependent? (Hint: The aforementioned senators are among the latter.)

This should be a big social lesson to come out of the Katrina tragedy...at the proper time.

And then the socialists will say that the hard workers were given more because they recovered faster and use it as a wedge to continue to pit the proletariat against the bourgeoisie.
