		<description><![CDATA[For as long as I can remember there has been a debate about what should be built and what should be protected along the Mississippi River.  Again it will take a government law to tell the people long the river whether they should build anything.  

The dam was built with drainage facilities to protect much of the development found in the major cities downstream.  What upset me is that it will be used against the White House for using the drains.  It is all based on an angry Republican group who will use anything to degrade our President.  

Woody I have been a Red Cross member for over 20 years and I know what water can do to a building.  Is our government in a position to buy up all the land in the spill basin?  

I am personally sick of the anger being expressed by so many members of the GOP.  This has been my party since 1953 and I do not recognize the need to destroy an elected official.  I did not like what they did to Clinton but when this same party backed the war in Iraq I came unglued.  These people verge on the insane with their visions of President Obama in the center of his coven working on the destruction of America,  I used to try to explain that once a Republican was in the White House, the neocons would shut up and get back to legal stuff.  That branch of the GOP is gone.  The crazies have used terrorism as threats against our President.  The problem is that this segment of the GOP is growing faster than reality can settle in.  I see the same paranoia that kept America in wars in Korea and Vietnam.  

What kind of people use racism and bigotry, not to mention homophobia to destroy America?  The result is an anger so deep that we may never get over this last election and the battle coming for the next one.  

Out for blood?  Yeah, that sound right.....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three inches of water can still ruin a home and many items within, not to mention the loss of crops and livelihood for that year.. No, it&#039;s not a lot via comparison, but it is still flooded and not habitable. They may never get rid of all the mold and that musty smell even after the mud and water is gone. Were I in this position I would be out for blood as well. Very few can point to something so specific and say the President&#039;s decision negatively impacted my life directly and disastrously.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nice one frank. Many still don&#039;t know that the tea party is made up of local groups with no national leadership. It was designed this way on purpose to prevent someone like Palin or big tent Republicans from co-opting the movement. But they didn&#039;t count on the corporate media working against them to put the likes of Palin et al in the spotlight as their leaders. Then they associated the attack on government employees/benefits with so called &quot;tea party darlings.&quot; Now they are proclaiming the biggest threat to their duopoly dead, all thanks to their sycophant ditto-head media.

At least Doug was right about one thing, Ron Paul did not start the tea party.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Republican National Committee has managed to change so much of the agenda that not only the voters are running away but any new candidates from trying for the leadership.  Governor Huckabee said yesterday that he is not an angry Republican Conservative and would not fit in that classification.  

I warned the RNC years ago to stay true to the agenda of individual freedoms.  Apparently the GOP does not understand what that is.  My problem is that I do not trust the Conservative Tea Party members.  They either deliberately refuse to touch on the problems in America or they simply do not recognize we have any.   It has been years since a decent debate on how much government do we want or need and it is washed away by how much law enforcement do we want in our personal lives.  

This morning the Conservatives are blaming Obama for opening the gates to flood Louisiana  The way this is worded sounds like a declaration of war against the White House.  The man who posted this had been the subject of one of my searches during these disasters.  He had been washed out and had not picked up his calls or emails for several months.  I knew he had a drinking problem so I left messages around his neighborhood.  My backing with the Red Cross has allowed me to locate many people who may have a drug or alcohol problem and I need to find them.  He lost nothing and his home had no more than 3 inches of water.  But he is paranoid about everything and I assume guilty of much more than simply drinking too much.

So he starts another tirade about our President deliberately flooding the basin.  This story is just the kind of thing that will trash another of Obama&#039;s actions.  This is the only focus the Conservatives have at this time.  

As the mother of 3 grownup teenagers, this kind of fight should have been eliminated during the Junior High School years.  My girls all ran for elections but sadly my son was chasing girls.  Not everyone has a desire to win an election,  My son did find a lovely sweet girl from Dublin!  My girls married rich Jews.  This is a perfect story.

May I assume that there is no Republican available to run for the White House next year?  I&#039;m good with that as we could do much, much worse than President Obama.  Let the religious right go dormant until they come up with a party for the people.  I&#039;m on every body&#039;s mailing list and I check in here a couple of times a day depending on what is  being done to my home.  I got my voter&#039;s registration card in the mail and I managed to register as a Democrat.   The world did not come to an end.  

I&#039;m hoping that CHB Reader Rant can do some debates about when and how we bring our troops home.  It seems that some mailings to our Congress Critters might help.]]></description>

With Congress recently hitting an all-time-low of 14 percent they&#039;d weep with joy to have such heady approval ratings.

Good riddance to transparently opportunistic fakes. May their attempts to hijack the movement end in the most thorough and deserved ignominy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This squares with our local taxedenoughalready partiers, many of whom are retired with their hungry lips on one or more government teats. Why they didn&#039;t know that they were proceeding to cut themselves off is a testament to their (lack of) intelligence.

Not that there isn&#039;t merit to the notion that some cutting needs to be done, I guess they just didn&#039;t think that they would be included in them who will need bandages.]]></description>
