A through investigation into all of this should be done by Congress and demanded by the American people. If the posts that the federal agencies "didn't know" information that there were people at the convention center that everyone in the whole world who watches CNN knew two days earlier, shows that at least in domestic affairs we have one of the most incompetent governments in the world.
Kink,
I didn't know funds were cut for FEMA. But we had to have that TAX CUT for the rich. I didnt' see my taxes go down. I'm glad that didn't. At least I don't have to know that I got a tax break and part of that extra money could have saved some of those thousands who are dead in New Orleans.
And I heard a man opn CNN begging for someone to come resuce him in his house. He only has 3 gallons of water left and enough food for three days. Why are we not sending enough troops in to save these people? Why are we letting them die from dehydration and starving to death?
If we can have impeachment hearings and a trial for Bill Clinton for letting a young lady put his penis in her mouth and lying to keep Hillary from finding out, then if this is incompetence from our President, he should be impeached. If our Senators and Representatives are at fault for passing bad legislation, steps by whatever means possible should be taken to remove them from office as well. And the heads of departments that don't know their ass from a hold in the ground should be fired.
This is a disgrace, an absolute disgrace that we didn't take care of our own people. Some people get their panties in a wad over so called "sexual sins" and the fact that someone might have masturbated sometime in his past or looked at dirty pictures. The sin of letting people die needlessly is close to murder.
Jesus said, "If you have done it to the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me." If this is true and you are a Christian, then you have to believe that what we have done is the same and those responsible have allowed Jesus himself to dehydrate and die from starvation. Then going same people go to the church and take Holy Communion on Sunday. This is the height of hypocrisy.
May God have mercy on the souls of those people who are responsible for this horrid, unnecessary calamity of allowing thousands to needless die.
Sorry for the rant, but as I watch CNN my heart is burdened. I am pissed. Highly pissed. This is an outrage.
In our small county of 50,000 people, we have over 1000 evacues. I will be working on getting a college freshman into a college free of room and board and our church will feed 120 people Tuesday. Churches are taking turns taking care of different meals at different sites. My wife will fix two vegetable dishes for 120 people and we will provide fried chicken as well. I am poud to say that all the churches in our county are working together. The United Methodist Church is providing all kinds of survival kits. In our state, we got a bottling company to provide at cost bottled water and have big trucks hauling water to those who don't have water. All our pastors are assigned areas to work with relief. But it isn't enough. It isn't nearly enough.
The worst may be yet to come. Lines at the convention center pale compared to body bags stacked to the ceiling. My heart is broken for all those suffering and for those who in the next few days will find out that their precious loved ones by the thousands are dead. |
