i have received several responses to my last blogs about the hurricane subject, so i will continue on this path for a time. what we have seen here is a complete lack of anyone taking any personal responsibility for themselves in these last two weeks. for those of you out there who still blame bush for the world war II, slavery in the U.S., the shooting of Abe Lincoln, and every natural disaster that has ever occurred on our fair planet, let me assure you that you have gotten your way! we will have a full scale investigation into the "faults" and "irresponsibilities" of the hurricane disaster!!! Pres. Bush announced that we will have a committee to fully investigate all aspects of government involved in the issue! you might ask why i am happy about that... well friends, it is because pres. bush knows as well as all of us who actually do our own researching of facts, not just rhetoric, that the local governments in new orleans and in LA in general have been "cooking the books" on the monies that the fed government has been sending there for years. the same senators and congressmen have been serving there for years, so they will have to take responsibility for whatever is to come from the investigation. you will not be surprised to find that all of these folks are democrats, because who else would be pointing fingers on the day of a major disaster instead of figuring out how to rescue people. i say the fed government responded fast. two weeks and over 200k people saved, i think they are pretty happy don't you? what was the state doing to save its people? and don't say, "oh the poor state of LA couldn't help itself," because that is just plain ignorance. no, instead, like clockwork (and you can check this on the LA website and most major news sites right now) all of the mostly democratic districts are still in a state of chaos, whereas the republican districst were cleaning up on the first day because they actually implemented plans and neighbors helped neighbors and put personal effort into helping themselves. none of this is surprising. if the roof is caving in, would you sit on your butt and wait for the feds to rescue you? good luck, i like living personally.
in all, these "investigations" which of course every senator has been advocating after the fact (hindsight is always 20/15) will only show the incompetence of the state officials who are in charge of directing federally allocated funds to the levies. where did thoses monies go? millions of dollars not going to the levies but to other state projects? where? by the way, if you have a problem with any of these facts i am pushing, i will ask you to visit the FEMA website as well as the federal government spending logs of the past five years where you will find that of course George Bush has allocated more funds to LA's flood control systems than any other president! i love it, these days you can expect the real facts to be the polar opposite of what any liberal says. real integrity lost.

Some more thoughts on the hurricane...

Penn accuses Bush amid rescue chaos
The US government was accused of "criminal negligence" as hopes of finding survivors faded and the death toll from Hurricane Katrina continued to rise.Holidaymakers returning to the UK spoke of the scale of the misery while one said leering police officers demanded young women flash their breasts in return for help.Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Sean Penn, who has been assisting rescue efforts in New Orleans, said the US government did not "seem to be inclined to help"."We were pulling drowning people out of the water, it's the ultimate distress and human suffering ... dead bodies," he told GMTV.Penn said he had spent nine hours on Monday searching the water for people and during all that time he saw just three boats carrying US officials."There are people that are dying right now and I mean babies and old people and everybody in between - they're dying. There are people dying and (the US government are) not putting the boats in the water, I think that's criminal negligence. I don't think anybody ever anticipated the criminal negligence of the Bush administration in this situation."The US authorities were also castigated by British bus driver Ged Scott, from Wallasey, Merseyside, who was on holiday in the New Orleans area.He stayed in the Ramada Hotel during and after the devastation with his wife, Sandra, and seven-year-old son Ronan. At one stage, Mr Scott, 36, had to wade through filthy water to barricade the hotel doors against looters.He told the Liverpool Daily Post: "I couldn't describe how bad the authorities were. Just little things like taking photographs of us, as we are standing on the roof waving for help, for their own little snapshot albums."At one point, there were a load of girls on the roof of the hotel saying 'Can you help us?' and the policemen said 'Show us what you've got' and made signs for them to lift their T-shirts. When the girls refused, they said 'Fine' and motored off down the road in their boat."
---END---
--Right, and Jeff Spicoli is the acting voice of what is criminal... that is laughable. also, i guess these days the only way to boost your movie career or your celebrity is to attack someone else or something else and "get noticed" for your "humble" acts of goodness. mr. penn needs to stop pretending he's an educated man because he makes those of us who have worked hard on our education and who have spent our limited dollars on our education look stupid and arrogant. does he know what the word "criminal" means? in fact, i would venture to say that mr. penn has probably done several things in his life deserving of jail time, with regard to the ACTUAL law! this bush hating is so annoying. i don't like everything he does, but then he's human, so of course he is not perfect. but i get so sick of people hijacking an issue (like the hurricane) and then prostituting themselves all over the media with a huge hate hate hate agenda. well, abc news this last weekend proved that we as america don't care what celbrities hate or who. in fact, even the news media has not been able to place the blame of bad weather on gw, which they should have easily been able to do since we know that gw hates black people and asked God to send down his fire on the black part of new orleans. i guess that means we better fear gw rather than hate him, since he is, you know, the right hand of God? laughable at most. all laughable.

Times Blasts New Orleans flood control
$$$The Corner-Media Blog ^ 9/2/05 Stephen Spruiell
Posted on 09/02/2005 6:53:59 PM PDT by chiller
Yesterday the New York Times editorial board wrote a fire-breathing editorial that for almost 24 hours ranked as the "most-discussed story" on Technorati and the "most e-mailed article" on nytimes.com. The board wrote that "George W. Bush gave one of the worst speeches of his life yesterday." Instead of "consolation and wisdom," the President offered "a long laundry list of pounds of ice, generators and blankets delivered to the stricken Gulf Coast." The board went on to offer a long laundry list of angry accusations. The editorial board doubted that Bush "understood the depth of the current crisis" — unlike the wizened board, which had been following the crisis on CNN. The editorial built up to this penultimate paragraph: While our attention must now be on the Gulf Coast's most immediate needs, the nation will soon ask why New Orleans's levees remained so inadequate. Publications from the local newspaper to National Geographic have fulminated about the bad state of flood protection in this beloved city, which is below sea level. Why were developers permitted to destroy wetlands and barrier islands that could have held back the hurricane's surge? Why was Congress, before it wandered off to vacation, engaged in slashing the budget for correcting some of the gaping holes in the area's flood protection? Good question. Maybe because Congress listened to the NY Times editorial board in April of 2005: Anyone who cares about responsible budgeting and the health of America's rivers and wetlands should pay attention to a bill now before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. The bill would shovel $17 billion at the Army Corps of Engineers for flood control and other water-related projects — this at a time when President Bush is asking for major cuts in Medicaid and other important domestic programs. Among these projects is a $2.7 billion boondoggle on the Mississippi River that has twice flunked inspection by the National Academy of Sciences... [snip]

--must i add to this or does it speak for the hypocrisy itself. the schizophrenic NY Times defeats itself in yet another foot and mouth story. Lesson: Elitests will not get the better of America.

A Call For Decency
Paul writes to us through two thousand years of church and world history. Christian love must be without hypocrisy. Pure love, not social love. Cleansed from self. Let God love through us. We must hate evil, not simply fearing the consequences. We must have a "family love" for others, all are our brother. None are strangers. Honor above thyself. The mark of true Christianity should be humility. Care for one another. Courage enough to say "I am sorry." Courage to profess being a follower of Christ. Our relationship with God depends on our talking to Him. Do not curse but correct with love that does not have an agenda.
...The above piece is a transcription of a combination of a recently professed sermon along with some great thoughts that followed the oration.

hurricane hissy fit...
i have a deep hurt and concern for the people affected by last week's hurricane. i do not, however, sympathize with any newscaster, newspaper, or any other media's effort in this matter. the media has gone completely crazy during this time and they are responsible for unwarranted anger popping up around the country.
last time i checked, we do not get what we want by throwing a fit. and last time i checked, people used to be grateful for a helping hand, they did not ask, "where the hell have you been?" i am so sick of stupid americans acting like it is the government's job to take care of them! it is not, read the constitution! protection is different from babying... also, for those of you who think bush is to blame for the hurricane, or that he is to blame because our forces are in iraq not new orleans, i will tell you to your face that you are ignorant and childish. if you are going to try and blame weather conditions on a man (for global warming or any other purposes) then you are living in a dream world! get it together and grow up! also, there are other cities in this nation. the federal government could send all of the national guard to new orleans at once, but then what would we do if some great tragedy happened in another city? all of you gripers out there would complain again that forces did not come fast enough!
the tsunami did so much more damage but we are going to hell and a hand basket over this hurricane thing because people can blame bush and bring up iraq again. i am so sick of hearing about it. get over it!!! god bless the hurricane victims, but god have mercy on the ones who defied the authority which tried to protect them and stayed behind and are now looting and pillaging. also, to those of you out there who are capitalizing on this as another venue to hate bush and the iraq war, may god have mercy on you too for your selfishness and stupidity. finally, i condemn the gasoline industry for not acting fairly in this matter and overcharging out of fear, not necessity (the gasoline industry profits greatly while everyone else has meager profits).
i know i come across as harsh in this piece, but no one else is voicing anything about the mistreatment, disrespect, and hatred being condoned by the american media for reasons unwarranted. i have known several people that have experienced extreme tragedy in their lives, and they at no time treated anyone as have some of the people of new orleans that the news has depicted. my friends all expressed gratefulness. hopefully, the news is just at it again to hate bush, etc. and hopefully they have just been abusing their power yet again to fabricate the truth. that is all i have to say on this matter. hopefully, future americans won't be as selfish as the generations before us are proving to be.
