You are absolutely right Mama Kaz. I didn’t criticize him for not running off to New Orleans because it wouldn’t have accomplished much of anything. The only thing he needed to do as a responsible President was to declare the entire city of New Orleans a disaster area. He did, and they received help. It unfortunately was not enough in the beginning, but was that his fault? No, it was not. It was the fault of the incompetent leadership of Michael Brown (Director of F.E.MA.), which is why he was later replaced. George Bush did all he could do. I was not one of the many idiots who complained about Bush’s performance because unlike the rest of the “sheep” I have the amazing ability to use my brain to process thoughts on my own without the help of someone else. It’s an extraordinary gift. It’s really quite exhilarating to use one’s mind to separate fact from fiction. I suggest you try it some time. Nashville was not swept under any rug. It was handled exactly the way it should have been handled from a Presidential stance. It was declared a disaster area and government assistance sent to help the local and state agencies as needed. If you weren’t just complaining just to complain because Barack Obama is President of the United States you would see that. Whether or not the people had any warning of the impending flood had no bearing on the situation from a governmental point of view. Relief was sent as it should have been by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and that’s all that was required of the government or this President.
Whether or not President Obama would visit the state of California in the event of a catastrophic event like an earthquake is not relevant. Not to mention the fact that it has no basis for racism? What race did you even mention? None. Common sense would not even allow for even the slightest assumption of racism considering the fact that over 75% of the state of California’s population are Caucasians. With that in mind why would he even show up with that being the case? What? Californians are suddenly a different breed of humans now? No, they are not. What a ridiculous analogy. If you are going to make an argument at least make it an intelligent one. To be perfectly honest I would much rather be an educated, open-minded, arrogant liberal than some backward, narrow-minded, arrogant conservative. I’ll tell you what you call people who don’t like arrogant liberals. Conservatives. Because all they know how to do is dislike and hate others for no good reason other than they don’t agree with their ideas, and continue to push this country back instead of allowing it to go forward. I also know, considering how you like to misuse the word liberal so much, what you call an arrogant liberal. For now you can call him Mr. President!! So why don’t you stick that on a t-shirt and wear it!!
Lee better win! I like Crystal but I couldn't really see myself buying her cd. She's good and I love her personality but Lee deserves to win. He has it all!
Ryan, a lot of people in this area are in favor of the Fair Tax policy, but I honestly don't know the ins and outs of it well enough to comment. I will, however, find out what it's all about. Thanks for bringing that up.
I'll be very surprised if Lee doesn't end up winning. He is by far the best singer on the show and is also the most likable contestant as well. Good Luck Lee!
None of us know for certain but I do know that a lot of things that are happening today are spoken of in Revelations. My husband and I heard a prophecy pastor speak over 30 years ago and everything he said at the time sounded like science fiction. I made a list of all the things he talked about and have checked them off over the years. There aren't many left on my list so I think we could be getting there but none of us really know for sure. I agree with Olivia that we should all be living our lives in a way that has meaning for us and for those around us. That way, no matter what happens, we won't have anything to regret.
Bailing them out won't do any good because they will continue to make the same grave mistakes. Their economy is being destroyed by illegals who are draining their resources. Instead of recognizing this fact, they are forming protests to stop reform. Until the good people of California find a way to start electing some common sense candidates they are doomed. It's not earthquakes they need to worry about, it's political correctness and too many people on the welfare rolls.
If Hollywood fell in the ocean the world would probably be better off. They have a lot to do with the moral decline in this country. Their lives are shallow and are centered around money and power and it fuels everything they do.
I think we should divide the country in half and let the liberals have one side and the conservatives have the other. Guess which side would survive and which side would fail... The time is coming when the non workers are going to outnumber the workers. We'll see how deep the Obama love runs when the welfare checks stop rolling off the presses.
Rick, perhaps you didn't criticize Bush for not running to New Orleans but a very large number of people did! I would like to know why Katrina was such a big deal but Nashville has been swept under the rug. The people in Nashville could do very little to avoid this because there was little or no warning. You can't predict a stalled weather system. Let's not forget that the people of New Orleans were given 5 DAYS warning of what was coming and made the decision to stay even though options were made available. I know there were some people who may have had a hard time getting out but there were many more who chose to stay. Why did they get a free pass for staying and putting their lives and the lives of rescue workers in danger? Help came to them from everywhere and is still coming.
I think Obama hasn't shown much concern for the people of Nashville because they don't vote for him like people in other parts of the country. If California has a major earthquake he'll be out there before the ground stops shaking. Does that make me racist Rick? What are we calling people these days if they don't like arrogant liberals who constantly put down others and tell them they are racist? Let me know and I'll get a shirt made so I can wear it.
