I grew up in Lithia Springs so, yes I know there are lots of black folks living out here. In fact, one of the most touching scenes to me was that of a young black girl who had come with her parents to see what had happened to Clarksdale Elementary. You could feel that child's heartbreak at seeing her school destroyed.

Now four of the hardest hit counties have finally been declared disaster zones by the Feds. Which means that FEMA will be taking applications for assistance. As for material support I still haven't seen any. Oh, and VP Obiden will visit the area tomorrow.

I still believe that a Presidential visit soon after the event would have done more to focus national attention on the plight of the people here.

I don’t think it has anything to do with race. I just wanted to point up what a complete fraud this man is.

I understand the differences in how the media has treated Obama and how they treated President Bush during the Katrina event.

Just two weeks ago Mr. Obama and his clown posse were attempting to hijack 9/11 for 'Volunteerism!' I'm not talking about comparisons to things said or done last year or the year before. I'm talking about a man who just two weeks ago was positioning himself as a great moral authority by championing this phoney baloney 'volunteerism' and this week is too busy hobknobbing with 'world learders' to care.

The difference between what Obama was saying two weeks ago and his lack of action this week is striking. That these observations haven't been made in the media is simply a testament of their devotion to him.

The city of Atlanta was spared a major flooding event. Of course, Peachtree and Nancy creeks are always a problem during bad weather but those issues are well known to area residents.

I’m glad to hear that your family is safe. In the small office where I work I know that one man his family have lost their home and because they were not in a flood zone they didn’t have coverage. Unless the federal government steps in they may lose everything.

Perhaps I should have been more clear. Areas west of Atlanta received twenty plus inches of rain last week. The majority of that rain fell during the weekend. As a result, flooding has greatly exceeded any other recorded event.

Clarkdale Elementary School, near Powder Springs, appears to be a total loss. The site was built up prior to the school's construction forty-six years ago. Since that time many hurricanes have rolled up out of the gulf to drench the Atlanta area with rain and that school never come close to being flooded. Interior shots reveal that the tiles of the suspended ceiling were completely washed away. What has happened is beyond the experience of anyone.

Our Governor asked for Federal disaster assistance several days ago, apparently the phone call to Washington went unanswered as the child king and his entourage were busy in New York.

In short sir, there has been no Federal assistance. I don’t know where FEMA is, I can only tell you that they are not here.

When Democrats hit the campaign trail next year and people like Mr. Obama invoke heartland names such as Peoria the citizens of Davenport, Iowa and Austell, Georgia need to speak up and remind this nation of their hypocisy.

LKL isn’t or never will be a program I would like to watch. But during an election cycle I watch the MSM’s ‘big names’ just to be reassured that they are biased.

I sent an email to the program asking why there weren’t any blacks at the bowling alley. They would never have asked Moore that and I knew it.

King never questioned any of Moore’s postions or statements. King was merely lobbing up softballs for Moore to swing at.

Free advertising? Yes. But mainly just pure propaganda.

It’s very obvious that this whole thing was crafted to make Moore look like ‘one of the guys.’

They staged it.

But all of their fine stage craft failed to hide the fact that Michael Moore does not choose to live in a racially diverse neighborhood.

He is, of course, happy to preach to you about racial diversity. As one of the left’s priests of morality he can condemn Republicans as bigots ... from a bowling alley where there’s not one black person in sight?

Maybe they let the black people bowl on Saturday.

Catch the replay!!!

unfortunatly the hitler analogy will be taken as a compliment by that psycho.

Hitler's admirers, on the other hand, will probably consider it grossly unfair to their guy.

Sorry, but the implants ruin it for me. I really dislike the fakies.

Better real A-cups than fake C-cups.

“You are famous in the way Liberace was famous, or for a more recent example, Anderson Cooper.

The obvious attempt to imply that Graham is gay is unfortunate, unnecessary and irrelevant. Graham's sexual preference (whatever that may be) has nothing to do with why he is at odds with his constituents -- unless they're suggesting a menage a trois with Teddy, John and Lindsey ....

Maj. Gen. Montgomery Meigs, was a SOUTHERNER [Alabaman, I believe.]

False. Though born in Augusta, Ga., Meigs grew up in Pennsylvania, and attended the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia before his appointment to West Point.

Ever hear of something called "Google," Mr. Know-It-All?

Lee was a traitor, who resigned from his teaching position at West Point to fight for the Confederacy. I see him the same as the deluded Americans that have gone to fight for the Taliban.
Lee should have been hung, and his army decimated, in the Roman sense of the term.

Like I said .... Oh, and G-Bear, Lee was superintendent (not at teacher) at West Point from 1852-55. At the time the War came, he was on leave from the 2nd U.S. Cavalry.

The post you quoted seems to me to be a straightforward recitation of some facts. Do you dispute the accuracy of these purported facts?

Yam, there's no point arguing with such people. This thread was posted by Non Sequitur specifically to provoke these same old arguments, which haven't really changed since the days of William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips.

Some people apparently derive great pleasure in striking the "I Hate Slavery More Than You Do" pose, and then denouncing as "racist" anyone who dares dispute their moral superiority. As harmful and divisive as such posturing was 140 years ago, it at least had some practical relevance back then, whereas today it's just tedious and foolish.

There is no fact you can cite that won't provoke from these latter-day Garrisons a "but what about ...?" They will accept no analogy or comparison that would tend to exculpate the South or indict the North. Offering any argument which does not conclude that Confederates were worse than Nazis will cause these people to scorn you as a simpleton and a bigot.

It's as pointless as arguing with Rosie O'Donnell or Alec Baldwin.

60% of all women who go in for abortions go because their birth control failed?! Where did he get that number from?

I'm sure it's from a survey, but it's also just logic. Suppose that a method of contraception has a 99% "success" rate. With tens of millions of U.S. women of reproductive age having sex monthly, you see how the Law of Large Numbers translates to 600,000+ abortions due to contraceptive failure annually.

This is why America will never be able to contracept its way out of the abortion crisis. Pregnancy is the natural results of sex, all methods of contraception have some "margin of error," and therefore every sexually active woman will eventually have an "unintended pregnancy."

Contraception is at the root of our current moral disorder.

Speaker Lugosi knows that whatever happens with the Jefferson case the press will page four the story.
