I guess you don't know how our country's structure is set up if you think it was the federal government's job to take care of the Katrina disaster to begin with. It's called state sovereignty,
You know, Robert, your leaps of absurdity seem to know no bounds.
On one thread you argue that the military should be contemplating coup de tats and on another you accuse another poster of not understanding the structure of government? Please when when with this argumentum absurdum cease?
We are a nation, not a mere collection of disparate states, that is why the Articles of Confederation were thrown into the trash heap of history and supplanted by a Federal system of organization. When the states cannot provide, it is the duty, of the Federal government to provide. That is what being a nation is all about.
Whether it was the hurricane that devastated Galveston in 1900, San Francisco in 1906 to hurricane Andrew, flooding along the Mississippi or hurricane Katrina, the Federal government has a mandate to respond, to provide security, and assistance to our nation. This incessant argument about separation of responsibility is... irresponsible.
Why is it that when liberals cannot come up with a rational defense for something their side has done, they immediately excuse bad behavior or indiscretion by pointing to bad behavior on the other side...pretty childish..almost like children in a schoolyard argument...but it is very telling and typical. This is why they have always lost, and have never been able to establish any credibility. They only win temporarily when Americans are fed up with Republicans and want to send the GOP a message..like cut the crap and straighten up...pretty sad not to be the party of choice, but the lesser of the 2 evils for the moment...
Pot, meet kettle. I posted (on another thead) about people burning a dem congressman in effigy, and got a response about how people burned Bush in effigy. I will remember this post of yours, wdavid.
The clip was taken from a 30-minute PTO program about “heroes” performed by third-graders for parents.
Students performed skits, sang songs and read poems about American heroes and what students could do to be heroes themselves. Obama — along with George Washington, Amelia Earhart, Martin Luther King Jr. and Clara Barton — was among those profiled.
“The final skit … recognized the most recent famous American, the first African-American to be elected president of the United States,” Blunt said in a statement. “This was not indoctrination. This was a lesson in American history and citizenship taken directly from the section of the N.C. Standard Course of Study entitled â€Citizenship: People Making a Difference.'”
I'm assuming the folks at all the media outlets and youtube have signed releases ok-ing that their children's faces be shown on tv and on the internets.
Don't you think the use of a particular politicians catch phrases a little....disconcerting?
When my kids were in ele school, they voted on lots of things. They would have voted on something like that.
