Pray for W, New Orleans and Our Freedom Fighting Troops
Yep the level of fundamental ignorance on the part of PAID supposed "Professional Journalists" on the BASIC facts of how the Disaster Response system is DESIGNED to work as well as their complete ignorance of the notion that their are significant legal checks on a President Disaster Response powers is both sickening and frightening. Thank God for the Bloggers and Freeprs. Without them we would have no real journalists any more.
I'm praying and sending money and clothing.
I've seen worse.
Awesome post.
Thanks.
The press HATES the images they see...people helping one another, regardless or race or economic status.
They react to these images like Dracula to a crucifix...it is very dangerous to their Big Gubm'nt agenda for anyone to see them. So they have to say, "Pay no attention to those images! What you are REALLY seeing is racism and class warfare. Look at those rich white folks treating those poor downtrodden blacks like ANIMALS!"
Exactly the opposite is true; we are truly seeing America at its finest: providing for our own, with love and compassion.
The media's insanity is glaring. These people are so deluded with their own agenda that they think that if they say up is down, right is wrong, black is white, America will believe it and like it!
Well, we're not that stupid.
And I hope EVERYONE took note of Tim Russert's true colors which were on vibrant display over the weekend. Anyone who thinks he is anything more than a low-rent, foam-at-the-mouth Democrat shill is fooling themselves.
BTTT
You nailed it, but good!
The dinosaur is in the tar pit, and it's bellowing loudly.
We know the end result for the dinosaur. The question is, does the dinosaur realize it yet?
Thank you, Al Gore. ;o)
The MSM and the DumRats will not change their MO. They are only stepping it up to new levels. We all need to get outta their way and let 'em keep talking as the downward spiral will be spiralling even faster to their ultimate demise.
Good piece.
I think the Stone Age (love that tag line) media's wholesale flight from Afghanistan was the most cowardly exhibition in US journalism history. When the legion of sissies sent there by Manhattan’s "unbiased" media nabobs began to realize that people actually get killed in war zones, they loaded up three jets with their sorry selves and flew back to the US.
Network anchors tried to rationalize this disgraceful behavior by stating that "young journalists now no longer feel that putting their lives in danger should be part of their career." That's another way of saying cowardice is the holy locus, the new most sacred tenet, of MSM journalism philosophy.
Their conduct during Hurricane Katrina only drives that point another mile closer to home.
This side of the Atlantic the Bush baiting in the British and Irish medias also started in earnest - natural disasters are meant to be times when non-partisanship prevails, but that is expecting too much decency from liberals!

Pings and mega bumps.
That cartoon is worth a MM words, link to it is headed out to all in my addy folder.
I am not religious person, but last tonight while channel surfing, I lit upon the 700 Club. To put it mildly, I was most impressed as to what the people of faith are accomplishing.
Program was centered on Long Beach MS (haven't seen that town on MSM) which was almost wiped out and the Salvation Army there was in full operation. Field kitchen was feeding many storm victims hot meals. Even the out of state LEO and some military types were being feed and/or sheltered, and nothing was being done on the government dime.
Operation Blessing was running in the semi trucks, unloading food stocks and headed back out for more. All people making it happen were volunteers, and from what I saw, the entire operation was a model of efficiency and compassion.
Nondenominational Churches are working together with other non-governmental relief groups to meet with President Bush to work out a plan to synergize the operation to insure that as it grows, it does not overlap, nor miss areas where help is most urgent. Also, the nation's churches are networking so any church that can, will take from one to as many families as possible to give care and housing.
It was an uplifting and heartening thing to see, especially so after watching the doom and gloom MSM gaggle blubbering about all that is wrong, every individual victim's plight, and would the government be able to take care of them.
I also discovered that for all those storm victims in the Houston Astrodome, their food is supplied by donations and all three hot meals a day are cooked by volunteers. The churches in Houston are raising five million dollars to assist what they termed, their guests.
In short, to me, it was a vivid display of that old American can do spirit which the MSM and lefties love to denigrate. Saw a side of Pat Robertson I didn't know of, he appeared to be in his element and working his tail off to get things done.
Thanks for that post, government isn't the sole solution to disaster relief!
