dixiepixie please don't take this the wrong way, I was just thinking when i seen your post about the park, It has always amazed me that we as a country send billions over seas to other country's (some that even want to kill us in return) and no one ever really says a thing or ever really complains!, But let a few extra dollars go to are on people and we cry about it, I for the life of me can not understand this all though I have not been through what they have been, I am sure that what took a life time to build will not be built back in a few months or just 2 years,

responsible people bought homes paid insurance on those homes, went to work each day and lived a decent life....2 days later their homes and transportations were GONE, their workplace was GONE, they filed insurance and were DENIED their valid claims because AFTER the hurricane tore their roof off it got wet inside and the insurance claims it was "flood damage"!
no job, no home, no transportation, yes sure thing those folks are lazy as can be and should be ashamed of themselves!

by the way we were in the palm sunday tornadoes, and got ZERO free from fema, did get a low interest rate LOAN, did get paid on our inusrance and were in our own new home in a different location within a month of the event, had our insruance said NO, we would have been in the condition described above except our jobs did still exist.

Nobody can tell me with a straight face that Lee is not better then them. ...in the name of all that's holy in the universe, you are right: there was nothing worse than "Preacher and the Doc". I'd rather hear Hank Erwin with intermittent "Crawford Stands" than those guys. In all fairness, Lee needs a sportscasting gig. He'd be great for that end of the business, but he simply doesn't fit with political talk radio.

And whats sad is in my opinion Preacher and the Doc could have been a really good talk show, but they needed on air training bad, Doc was always cutting the preacher off, and the callers, and just couldn't shut up for one holy minute OMG, But they tried to bring some good topics and some topics that most didn't believe, but when ever the planes hit the towers just 1 day before no one believed that was possible ether!
But as for Lee Here is what I think Lee would be good at, I love to hear him talk about history, be it the ww2 or ww1 or past presidents, Washington for 1, Lee needs a hour or 2 to talk about this, be like a history teacher sort of, but I like history Now I don't spend all day reading history books and so on But He would be good at this I think The catch would be he would have no callers, just guest on history!

What I don't understand is why people will basiclly live in squaller in a FEMA trailer, rather than take the initiative and find better housing. A person has a job, their bills are being paid (by FEMA) for two years. Can anyone make the point that they can't afford to save enough for deposits and get out of a place that has raw sewage spilling onto the ground? responsible people bought homes paid insurance on those homes, went to work each day and lived a decent life....2 days later their homes and transportations were GONE, their workplace was GONE, they filed insurance and were DENIED their valid claims because AFTER the hurricane tore their roof off it got wet inside and the insurance claims it was "flood damage"! no job, no home, no transportation, yes sure thing those folks are lazy as can be and should be ashamed of themselves! bill, with all due respect, who in their right mind would buy a house in a city that is BELOW SEA LEVEL and not buy flood insurance? But that is not the point I was getting at. They have been living rent and bill free for two years. Why could they not get a decent place to live? Why are they continuing to live off of the government? Pride is one of the seven deadly sins and it may go before damnation, but my pride would not allow me to keep my family in that kind of situation. by the way we were in the palm sunday tornadoes, and got ZERO free from fema, did get a low interest rate LOAN, did get paid on our inusrance and were in our own new home in a different location within a month of the event, had our insruance said NO, we would have been in the condition described above except our jobs did still exist. One thing that a lot of people don't know or realize, many of the companies that have branches in different states (the company my mother works for is one), relocated the employees that were willing to go and work. Thousands of people refused to be relocated (so they would still have a job), and chose to live off of the FEMA benifits. I agree that is has been hard on these people, I am not trying to say it hasn't, but where there is a will, there is a way. If you want to make it on your own badly enough you will do what you have to do to make it.

I agree with this, but it is my understanding also, that because of where they lived they could not get flood insurance, maybe I'm wrong on this,
But yes also some people are just mooching off the system, but this is the case with anything and everything, there is always that few, , but be it as it may I rather see tax dollars, ( thats going to be blowed anyways) go to Americans then to other countries for every little reason under the stars, Now i also know other countries need help also, thats fine, But yes also some of them people thats still in the trailers need a push and some need more time, just my thought

FEMA is STILL paying, because the ACLU filed a lawsuit. I think that these people needed and deserved help, but I do not think that I or anyone else should have to totally support anyone (even if it is with our tax dollars) that can not be takes a a deduction. Our family "joke" ( because our dad would never let us have a dog fo rthis reason) if that our hard earned money is not going to any living breathing eating thing that can't be deducted from the taxes next year.

Read ThisWonder how much of that can be taken off are taxes? But for the most part I'm still with ya dixiepixie I agree the moochers need to be taken out of the system But its like I heard someway say once that they didn't help any homeless anymore because they seen a TV show where it showed people acting like they was needy but then the camera caught them getting in a new catty! so now they just didn't help anyone, I think in the end we just have to do as the bible says and help the needy and the homeless and the widow, and then let God deal with the lyres and deceivers, Just another worthless thought from me

Every day when I pass by a certain area, the SAME two guys are standing on the sid eof the road holding signs. Both signs say "John 3:13 Traveling and Hungry. Please give all you can." I gave all of my change to these gusy for about a month. Now I will not even drive through there with my window cracked.

i know several people who go down towards the hurricane katrina areas and had practically zero job experience. im talking teen aged boys. between 17 and 20 and these guys stay all week and come home on the weekend and they have made between 700-1200 a week working long hours in the reconstruction going on down there. now if i had a free home and all my bills paid how long should it take me to be able to buy my way out of a fema trailer? less than six months tops and i could have about 10-20 grand together. these boys are having to pay hotel bills food etc and some have already bought new cars and paid cash one bought a new mobile home paid cash etc etc

Here's the rub (not related to Lee Davis): a HUGE segment of the population were lifetime recipients of state and federal assistance. These same people are the ones staying in motels on our tax $ and were angry because the government shipped their families to different parts of the country. You know what? When you consciously choose to make yourself dependent upon the government dole, you've got no right to complain about the same system when it doesn't do what you wish.

It's been eighteen months, for crying out loud! The American taxpayer has done more than enough. Kick 'em out--except for the elderly and infirm, of course.
The able-bodied should be on their own.
Good grief, why is this even an issue?!

Good grief, why is this even an issue?! I agree; help those that want to help themselves. I saw a post-Katrina report in Newsweek. The story centered on a family of six who lived in the 9th Ward. This family was a married couple and four children. Neither of the parents worked and they drew WIC, welfare assistance and lived in a five bedroom Section 8 home that cost them the princely sum of $90/month. The dad's only "job" was being paid to march in a few jazz funerals per month. During the interview, the parents were resentful of being "forced" by federal officials to attend job fairs in Atlanta. This is simply absurd.

DP-
The fault lies with the Democrat party politicians who did their level best to turn New Orleans (and, indeed, all of Lousiana) into a "Liberal Utopia" (translated: massive welfare state).
For literally generations, these people were conditioned to rely totally and completely on the government for their daily existance. From womb to tomb, the State took care of their every need.
If your situation never requires you to take any sort of personal responsibility for your life, why on earth would anyone expect something as trifling as a category three hurricane be the impetus to make you grow up? If there are no negative consequences for consistent failure, there's no reason to change the patterns of behavior that make you fail.
Back to the topic at hand....
I agree with outcast.
Lee and I could have the kind of conversations about history, the military and politics that would cause listeners across central Alabama to tune their radios to ANY other channel literally within seconds. I'd find it facinating to have such discussions and maybe a bare handful of others would as well, but the vast majority of Lee's listeners simply aren't interested in the subjects that Lee (and I too for that matter) are, certainly not to the degree we are.
Lee can talk sports (at least UAT sports) with the best of them...but then we already have multiple sports channels here so do we really need yet anotehr sports talk show (I don't think we need two but that's just me).
One problem facing Lee is that, aside from Rich, whose opinions I respect even as I disagree with virtually all of them, Liberals have no sane, reasonable and knowledgable voice around here. Most liberals are far closer to "Howard the Hateful" than they are Rich, so the Left isn't represented adequately (even to the degree that Liberalism >can< be adequately represented in the best of cases).

Liberals have no sane, reasonable and knowledgable voice around here. And whose party has had control of the house, senate, and presidency for the last six years? Did the Republicans do anything for this country with that majority? Let's see... a losing war, high deficits, uncontrolled illegal immigration, high taxes, scandal, socialized medicine... What am I leaving out?

It's not lost unless we, the MAerican people, thrown in the proverbial towel.
Well, that or if a Democrat is elected President in '08.
Little thing called 9/11 and the Clinton-Gore recession of 2000-2001 might have had a wee bit to do with that.
Also, as is always the case, when Bush cut income taxes and capital gains taxes, revenue to the Federal government literally exploded, meeting Bush's stated goal to reduce the deficit in half within 5 years some three years early.
While the President has done very little to stem the tide- and for that I blame him totally- don't hold the few true Conservatives in the House responsible for that. If it weren't for them, the Border Fence Bill would never even have been written, much less passed and signed into law.
Seems like I recall a tax cut for everyone that actually paid Federal income taxes.
Would you have gotten that from a Democrat?
Much of it driven by the Left and their lapdogs in the MSM.
Not to dismiss the scandals, but the only reason that people are so outraged by them is that they hold Republicans to a higher standard of conduct than they do Democrats. You expect Democrats to fail to reach even the most modest ethical standards but, because Republicans comparatively do so much better ethically, one is more outraged when they fall short.
Gee I must have missed Bush passing "Hillarycare". And I thought I paid pretty good attention....
Lessee....
Fewer terrorist attacks on US soil during six years than Clinton had in eight.
Nomination of strict constructionist judges to SCOTUS and lesser courts.
Forcing Libya to back down and dismantle their WMD program.
Prosecuting the war on terror with much greater vigor and dedication than did Clinton (admittedly, no big deal because Clinton set the bar so low).
At least suggesting a plan to fix Social Security rather than leaving it for the next Administration to deal with.
And there are others.
But the point is that the Democrat agnda is the one dangerous to America's future, if for no other reason than they simply cannot be trusted to deal with the Jihadists. Many of them don't even think they represent a threat to us, even though there were around 3000 reasons a short 6 years ago that proves the fallacy of that thinking. If there is a real threat, they think it's George W. Bush rather than Osama Bin Laden. In their unwavering pursuit of personal political power, they are quite willing, even eager, to see the US under President Bush defeated once again as it was defeated in Vietnam during Nixon/Ford.
Why is it that what is bad for America is embraced by Democrats?
