Ok, fine. Don't pray for the people in the path of Gustav.....
it was them I was concerned with. You guys can pile on me all you want. It just demonstrates that pile on mentality to try to quell opposition, which is about as UNdemocratIC as you can possibly be. Try to stop it for a minute to pray for those in danger and what do I get...more piling on. That says more about that attitude than I ever could.
gustav
Three years ago he said it was state and local govt who were responsible for this disaster. Then why is Dubya down there now with his entourage shaking people's hands. His presence adds so many problems to the already overburdened rescue workers. Think of the log jams when he goes to a functioning town with security etc, press.. He is just adding that the problems they already have down there. Can that guy make any decisions that are not politically motivated.
Katrina and Gustav
Remember where Dubya was when New Orleans was drowning? Having his picture taken while eating cake with John McCain. Now we have Gustav. What interesting timing. Perhaps Palin was selected because she is a good baker .... ? ? ? ....
Gustav will be attended to
precisely because it is an election year. The pres and VP know they will damage McCain if they show up -- the country overwhelmingly does not like them or their policies. they don't want to remind people (as if) how closely MCcain adheres to their policies.

What is wrong with being prepared? nm
nothing wrong in being prepared
Nothing is wrong with being prepared. I have Mormon friends who have supplies and even a backyard shelter in case of attack. I, however, do not fear death. I do fear pain and suffering. I have food and water and supplies for earthquakes, guess I can use them in case of attack too. Nothing wrong with being prepared and each of us needs to decide how we will deal with attack, in case there is one..but no terrorist is going to make me change my lifestyle. I will continue to live as I have and when I return to NY next year (cant wait), I will ride my beloved subways and Long Island Rail Road and walk the streets of Manhattan without fear. Terrorists love that they have placed fear into Americans and if they never strike us again, they have done harm in placing fear into our souls. We cannot live in fear..
Then be prepared for Obama to take
all that money you are willing to put on him......because he will!
NOBAMA!
There is ONE path on which everyone is welcome!

Yeah. My husband and I have prepared best we can

I'm quite prepared to accept your assessment that
After all, who would know better?
The question is, how long are you going to drive around on that flat tire?
Path to 9/11 declared to be
false and defamatory. Was supposed to be made in accordance with the 9/11 Commission's findings. However, it was not, and the WH is wanting to submit this heap of trash to schools and offer it to students as the truth. Where are we headed here!? WH just gets more ridiculous, more self-serving, more scandulous actions, and I just want them out of there!!! Out of my life!
Former Path Lab Worker
I worked as a pathologists' assistant at a downtown pathology laboratory for two years before becoming an MT. For any of you IGNORANT, lost souls out there who still believe in abortion...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GO WORK IN A PATHOLOGY LAB FOR A BIT - one that processes aborted fetuses (even better, a government funded lab). THEN you can talk to us about women being allowed to have a CHOICE to MURDER these babies. I am sorry, but you are just talking out your AS*HOLE when you say that women should have a CHOICE, but have not seen firsthand what they are CHOOSING to KILL. At the size of 6 weeks from conception, most of these tiny BABIES have tooth buds, sex organs, lips, nostrils, skin, facial features.....EVERYTHING you would expect to see on a full-term infant....they are just much smaller. IF ABORTION IS SO INNOCENT....WHY WON'T THEY SHOW THIS ON TELEVISION for everyone out there to see what the REAL TRUTH about ABORTION-MURDER is!!! Do NOT let the Obama, the U.S. government, or anyone else out there FOOL you about it. ABORTION AND MURDER HAVE NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH RELIGION!!!! It is 100% a matter of WRONG vs. RIGHT. And....this message is NOT just my opinion, but 100% TRUTH. Will you one day allow sexual molestation of children too? There are a lot of sick people out there who want to molest children.....so.....maybe we should just allow it.....right? This seems to be the mentality of most of you "ABORTION RIGHTS NUT CASES." When your daughter or son ends up aborting your grandchild against your will and pays for it with YOUR TAX DOLLARS....maybe you will feel differently about turning a blind eye to this SAVAGE AND INHUMANE MURDER that we are allowing to happen and being FORCED BY OUR GOVERNMENT to pay for!!! ALSO....ALL UMBILICAL CORDS CONTAIN STEM CELLS. THERE IS NO REASON TO CREATE AN EMBRYO IN ORDER TO DO STEM CELL RESEARCH. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MANDATE THAT ALL WOMEN DELIVERING BABIES VOLUNTARILY SUBMIT THE REMAINING UMBILICAL CORD FROM THE PLACENTA AT THE TIME OF BIRTH FOR STEM CELL RESEARCH/TREATMENT!!! And......the HIV virus HAS been proven to reside in SALIVA and ALL BODILY FLUIDS AND TISSUES and, therefore, it HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN, without the element of doubt, that HIV can ONLY be transmitted through the transmission of BLOOD. WE ARE A VERY, VERY STUPID SOCIETY OF PEOPLE AND VERY GULLIBLE. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE AMERICA!!!

Not bitter - I just found a different path to take
All my family are christians. I believe everyone goes to the same place, we just take different roads. If you want to believe what you want that's fine. Everyone in my family is Christian. I choose another path.

It is not socialism to get us off W's path to desctruction
McCain says he's not a socialist, socialists say he is not a socialist and this smear is yesterday's news. Hadn't you noticed?

Thanking Her for Opening My Eyes

It is late October, five days before the United States elects its first black president, and Elliott is in a dither. Her Iowa absentee ballot in favor of Barack Obama was mailed in weeks ago, although she worries about what he's up against.
"Whatever a black person does, he has to do twice as good as a white person to be thought of as half as good," she says, her sharp voice rising.
Dressed in a pink cotton shirt, jeans and white tennis shoes, Elliott is the picture of a grandmotherly retiree, but her voice remains that of a stern teacher. Obama "mustn't look angry because we have demonized black men," she says. "He knows exactly how to get accepted. He's a bargainer . . . and that's OK if that's what it takes to get white people to listen."
This is how Elliott has made a living. She retired from teaching 20 years ago and lectures a few times a month, primarily at colleges or companies in need of diversity training. She won't say how much she charges, but it's said to be about $7,000 -- higher if she's asked to conduct her famous exercise. The drill gives her a migraine, and she hates that she must be the proprietor of what she sees as a necessary evil, one that hasn't changed since she first enacted it on April 5, 1968.
With King shot just the day before in Memphis, Elliott encouraged her third-graders to discuss how something so horrible could happen.
"I finally said, 'Do you kids have any idea how it feels to be something other than white in this country?' "
The children shook their heads and said they wanted to learn, so Elliott set the rules. Blue-eyed children must use a cup to drink from the fountain. Blue-eyed children must leave late to lunch and to recess. Blue-eyed children were not to speak to brown-eyed children. Blue-eyed children were troublemakers and slow learners.
Within 15 minutes, Elliott says, she observed her brown-eyed students morph into youthful supremacists and blue-eyed children become uncertain and intimidated.
Brown-eyed children "became domineering and arrogant and judgmental and cool," she says. "And smart! Smart! All of a sudden, disabled readers were reading. I thought, 'This is not possible, this is my imagination.' And I watched bright, blue-eyed kids become stupid and frightened and frustrated and angry and resentful and distrustful. It was absolutely the strangest thing I'd ever experienced."
Elliott's eyes flash at the memory.
'Re-lig-ion-o-path-y': A pathological dependence
in just one single book, on shaping everything one says and does. A group of sheeplike individuals who naiively and obediently do the bidding of just a few in power in their church, and to whom everything in the world is black-or-white, Good or Evil. There is no middle ground. There is no gray area. If others don't see things THEIR way, they must be destroyed in whatever way is necessary.
No, not making it up...watched him as he spoke, no tele, no speech prepared.
