Stop the Socialist FEMA Takeover of the Midwest

Tornado kills at least 89, leaves ‘total devastation’ in Missouri town

In Joplin, Mo., damage is widespread. Severe weather hits other parts of the Midwest, including Minneapolis, where one person is killed.

Over one hundred people have died in a rash of tornadoes that have ravaged the Midwest, and Obama wants to use this tragedy to promote his socialist agenda. The President wants to use his nanny state powers to swoop in and help people of Missouri and the region. This is the kind of socialism that the state’s legislature has recently rejected,

4 Missouri Senators reject further prostitution by the Federal government.

Last week we had four State Senators stand up to the political machine, the federal government and the Democratic Governor in our state, filibustering a bill giving Missouri stimulus funds the government doesn’t have that would have extended unemployment benefits from 79 weeks (a YEAR AND A HALF) up to 99 weeks. (5 weeks short of TWO YEARS). The media in our state has portrayed this move as cruelty to the unemployed. Unfortunately they are not reporting the whole story.” (link)

Yes, the state legislature refuses aid for the unemployed caught under the dual tornado of joblessness and state cuts, and they should stick to their guns, and pull them out of their holsters, to refuse socialist FEMA funds to help those affected by the recent tornadoes.

Obama is using this tragedy to start his FEMA military camps http://www.freedomfiles.org/war/fema.htm in the heartland,

“FEMA was never before a militant organization but, was created and then used to address helping people in times of disasters.  No more.  From Obama’s own mouth, it will now be used to fight some strange and dark Obama war.  And why were FEMA camps across the country recently refurbished and military Ads placed for people to guard whomever is going to be placed in them?  Again, Obama is at war against whom?”

The current role of the Republican Party is to decry government projects, all government (especially federal) institutions, and all spending by the government that is targeted toward average people other than local police and national military efforts. Their efforts target unemployment insuranceattack the Department of Education, target family planning and health care for women and all people, and recently have gone after Medicaid.

Will they stick to their ideology and refuse socialist FEMA funding? Or, will they realize that the government sometimes does some things well, and even if not perfect, we all need help that is beyond our means at times.

Here’s to hoping that Missouri Republicans refuse FEMA relief aid in a continuing show of disdain for the public good. After all, they have promise to refuse “as many federal funds as they can.” (link) That will show the socialist Democratic Governor Jay Nixon who’s in charge.

  1. It’s all well and good, Tex, until those pigs start taking away people’s firearms, and assaulting old women like they did in New Orleans years ago – that stuff is on video, it’s hard to talk around it, it happened.

  2. Wes,

    Those pigs, aka FEMA. That is a different issue than what is addressed here. Also, that had a lot to do with the local police, not FEMA and housing aid which was terribly mismanaged due to the no-bid contracts and other problems in NOLA.

  3. Tex! Why bother? The ignorant bring it unto your doorstep. You waste words on someone who writes such a sentence as “until those pigs start taking away people’s firearms, and assaulting old women?” You even answer, sanely, a discombobulated, chaotic, absurdly chaotic and ludicrously generalized statement of shit?

    I know. It’s incumbent on you, in your role here, to do so.

    It’s not incumbent on me. I treat idiots with the respect they deserve. We are fucked. These are the people who will help to facilitate the corporate-whores who pass for politicians’ doing it right. Exceptionalism my ass.

  4. Leeza,

    Actually Wes is mostly reasonable, and I find that being respectful to those I disagree with is the best way to keep an open dialogue so I can learn. Besides, I agree with Wes on at least 50% of the time and he understands the basic problems of our plutocracy more than most. I bet even you would agree with Wes on some things.

    Peace,
