[B]Questions re: The Flooding in Iowa, Missouri and Illinois[/B]
[B][/B]

Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?

Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal government hasn't' solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks (and trailers) are?

Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels in Chicago?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines?

Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?


Why haven’t we heard from the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton, complaining about the plight of the flood ravaged Iowans?

How come the Federal government hasn’t handed out free credit cards to displaced Iowans?

Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes, liquor and big screen television sets?

When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a "vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of cannibalism?

Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates white, rural people?


Where’s the stadium that the Iowans have turned into a filthy, crime ridden sty?

How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever again?
We've got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom--freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile; it needs protection.

Because the people in the Midwest were born and raised to be self sufficient, strong minded, honest Americans who have core family values who help their neighbors, support the neighborhood and each other, go to work and pay taxes and who understand that the governments job is not to wipe their nose every time they sneeze.

Becasue they didn't have Mayor Nagin and a lack of emergency planning and Governor Kathleen Blanco who forgot how to use a telephone.

There aren't any people trapped in the flood areas because when authorities advised them to evacuate, they actually did. Hhhmmm. Is there cause and effect here?

No one called the people in New Orleans dumb, but what part of living below sea level did they and their idiot of a mayor not understand?

I think the part about the Corp of engineers not making the levees to specs is what they did not understand.

you could say this is calling them dumb

Jesus. Talk about spinning someone else's words to fit a template. This is almost laughable.

Liberal Play book:

When an argument fails, repeat it and then play the race card.

When people are tired of hearing it say it louder, and then play the race card.

If all else fails, play the victim. And then play the race card.

If that fails, call them stupid rednecks.And then play the race card.

Then play the race card. And then play the race card.

Repeat if necessary. Then play the race card. And then play the race card.
