I think this is another area you and I may agree upon, Steve. I believe charitable donations should be at least a dollar for dollar deduction, rather than the current 50% credit. We should encourage

When crisis happen people expect the top dog to make a showing rather hurricane or border situation both guys mad the wrong choice. Both guys deserve criticism.

When you give your money to the government to "help the poor" about 20 cents on the dollar reaches the poor.  The rest is used to feed the behemoth bureaucracy administering all of the plethora of "co

Thanks Tobie- I think I understand your reasoning-  Now if I can just figure out why Mr. Obama stopped in New Jersey following the east coast Hurricane but not on the Texas border.  Seems to me that the Hurricane was a one day event while the border situation is a perpetual difficulty with much more potential harm.

maybe because over 1800 americans died in katrina http://www.hark.com/clips/ccgkzjpjgn-brownie-youre-doing-a-heck-of-a-job


Anytime someone dies it is sad, but a hurricane isn't quite the same as a tornado or earthquake. You are given warning that it is coming. You have time to get out of its way. The loss of property you can't do much about, nature is more powerful than we are. But, you could have walked, drove, taken a bus, or caught a plane out of New Orleans in time to save your life. The problem is, people don't take responsibility for themselves. They want someone else to do it for them. They will stay there and drown instead of trying to help themselves!

I hear you, but it's not easy to evacuate when you are old or sick or poor.   Sure.  I can throw a few hundred dollars at a motel room or go stay with relatives somewhere.   Not sure everybody has those options.    Not to mention, nobody really anticipated the levee failure.  Most would have ridden out the storm fine if not for that.

But it had nothing to do with Bush, state level response was the blame.....

 

and most who stayed did so because they wanted to.......and when you make those type of decisions,  sometimes they don't go your way.....I would have stayed for RITA had it not been for my 11 YO Son......got to use the brain sometimes....

You are right.  But Bush received his criticism constantly from all major networks and for an extended period of time.  The media has so much invested in Obama that they find themselves unable to criticize him for similar deeds.  I also said earlier that Cindy Sheehan got seemingly undending coverage by all major networkds regarding the death of her son during the Bush Presidency and yet the parents of those killed in Benghazi get acknowledged only on Fox News which many of you like to complain doesnt present the news properly.

We should not be surprised by all this. The world view that that is pervasive in the media and all facets of life in America today was being indoctrinated into the minds of these poeple as far back as 30+ years ago in our public education system and even more pointedly on the campuses of Higher Learning across this land.  They are just living out the beliefs that they were being systematically taught in their formative years. ECO is your textbook case study on this very phenomenon!!!

And it also says that if your child cannot be controlled and is a danger to society, the whole community should take it outside the gates and stone it to death!! But here in the good ole USA the elderly live in fear of teenagers and young adults in some communities!!!

old testament, if it says that at all.

Why is it that you're so concerned what MSNBC CNN or anything you consider mainstream report on.

I am concerned with all of them.  Tell my why I shouldnt be.  They all supported Obama and dont have the testicular courage to report anything negative about him and, these days, there is a lot of that.  You ought to be concerned too because when this country was organized, it counted on an honest press to keep the American people informed.  That honesty has been replaced by ideology.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
