In 1913 a catagory 5 Hurricane plowed directly into New Orleans, La. Its affects were devastating. The United States army lent tents and cooking supplies to the citizens of Louisianna in the areas destroyed by the storm. They later had to sue in court for payment of these tents and utensals.
In 2005 a smaller hurrican Katrina landed nearby New Orleans causing much devastation. We now have a President who has offered to "GIVE" 200 billion dollars to Louisianna to help rebuild the affected areas and infrastructure.
Are we still a Republic made up of individual states and citizens--or are we now a full fledged socialist country made up of an overpowering Federal government that dictates to the "several" states and interferes with the duties and obligations of the citizens of those states?
I live in Arizona. Why are the people of Arizona going to be made party to the rebuilding of a separate state--Lousianna?
The answer to these questions I have raised "matters" much to the survival of our Republic. The line between Federal and State is so blurred right now that halogen headlights could not find it in bright daylight.
In addition to the above, National guard troop from other states spent time confiscating legal guns from homeowners in Louisianna-- in the aftermath of the hurricane. And not one single blurb have I seen on national news condemning this assault on these folks "Right to bear arms". In fact--it left them defenseless to the roaming hoodlums who were pillaging and looting the city. This "matters"
The citizens of Louisianna should pull up their pants, roll up their sleeves and get to work rebuilding their damaged state. They should also sincerely appreciate the help received from their fellow Americans--and immediatly begin taking steps to re-pay the treasuries of those states who offered up taxpayer assisted assistance.
AND THEY SHOULD REFUSE ALL FEDERAL AID OFFERED BY "HIS MAJESTY GEORGE BUSH".
Where is their sense of dignity, self respect, and soverienty as citizens of the great state of Louisianna?
Please ponder this for a second. Your own state elected leaders may be the next to roll over and sell your state rights to the Federal devil. For me I'd rather live in a tent and carry water from a well than loose my identity for a free lunch.
Nothing worth having is free. Come on Yodi, lets go find that stump, drag it to the town square, and shout to the rooftops our protest--before the governor of--say--Vermont trys ordering us around from afar.
