Who issued building permits for those beach front homes. I hate to be a hard nose but come on it was only a matter of time before they got hit. My wife and I had through a an ok process for flood lines. And that was near the top of a hill in PA before we got a permit. Now the government has to pick up the tab on doubt. Are they going to be allowed to re- build?

Let's talk about the 99%. 99% of the American citizenry have it easy during the war against the Islamo-Fascists here in the 21st. Please, let me explain. Only 1% of the American people have gone overseas to engage the Islamo-Fascists on the battlefield. A say, "A job well done to our heroes!"

But what of the other 99%? Let's face it, those not serving in the military overseas have experienced war against the Islamo-Fascists under three conditions.

1.) Entire interface consists of watching war on TV.

2.) Paid for the war with the precious Bush tax. (yes, supply-side theory provided the revenue.)

3.) Did a heck of a lot of shopping. (urged by George W. Bush to support the war effort)

Is it any wonder why so many douches who watch Fox News are EXCITED about going to war with Iran?

Disaster coordination is one of the most vital functions of “big government,” which is why Mitt Romney wants to eliminate it. At a Republican primary debate last year, Mr. Romney was asked whether emergency management was a function that should be returned to the states. He not only agreed, he went further.

“Absolutely,” he said. “Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.” Mr. Romney not only believes that states acting independently can handle the response to a vast East Coast storm better than Washington, but that profit-making companies can do an even better job. He said it was “immoral” for the federal government to do all these things if it means increasing the debt.

You want to know what is immoral? It is the federal and state governments using taxpayer dollars from people living inland to rebuild beachfront homes and at-risk infrastructure on barrier islands over and over again.

It was folks like you who thought things would go so much better in the colonies if King George made all the decisions from 3000 miles away. The rest of us thought those of us here, on the ground, had a much better idea of what was going on, what was needed, and how best to get 'er done.

In the Katrina disaster, among the first supplies to arrive in the devastated areas were brought in by Wal*mart (and similar organizations pursuing a (shock!) profit). You think it was George Bush that made the government's response so ineffectual. I think you overestimate his (or anyone else's) potential influence on that inchoate blob. And crushing your grandchildren under debt so you can suck up to authority IS immoral. Toady.

Would you like to take a $10 bet that Obama will find a way blame his favorite whipping boy, Bush, for this? He should drop the shuck and jive. Hey, Chris Matthews, add "whipping boy" to your list of "racist"
Republican remarks.

One thing is sure, Obama (Liar In Chief) will exploit this crises to the greatest degree possible.
