Yes, in this casual, 2 paragraph exchange between the two of us, you've got me figured out. Commies, commies everywhere. And gay sandwiches.

Now get to work savings thousands of Americans from their own stupidity.

Frankly, if anything I would get rid of the 20 ton elephant in the room, the Dept of Homeland Security, and restore FEMA to its former cabinet level status.

No, what that means is I'm not a leftist as you accused me to be. I'm not accusing you of this because I don't know for sure but to many right wingers, if you are not as right wing as Franscisco Franco was then you are a commy or a socialist. It's nothing new in the USA. FDR was called a commy every single day of his 4, count them now 4 terms as President of the United States. He was a liberal, that's for sure but a commy??? Fraid not.

He died in ofice in his 4th term. He was elected POTUS 4 times. I did not say he served 4 complete terms. What I said was he was called a commy every single day of his 4 terms. Talk about splitting freaki hairs!!!!!!

Agreed - and once again - WE HAVE NO MONEY.

Any FEMA money issued now is at cost plus interest.
