If you haven’t learned yet…Hurricane Katrina has decimated the Gulf Coastal states and at the moment > 80 people have been reported dead with estimated figures 3 times that amount. New Orleans, Louisiana has declared martial law and 80% of the city is swimming under water riddled with oil, sewage, and silt. You can see pictures of the devastation here. Mississippi and Alabama all have their neighborhoods affected decimated and in some cases flooded to the extent that people need boats to get around to anywhere. There is no food, water, nor shelter for these individuals that chose to ride out the storm. Anheuser-Busch Ships 12,500 Cases of Canned Drinking Water to Support Relief Efforts. The Red-Cross has been dispatched to help aid those in need. Donate Here! Foreign aid is nowhere to be found… I’m disappointed…once the Tsunami hit Indonesia the American Red Cross was there to help immediately, the UN responded with troops to aid in the chaos, NATO helped provide bridges for travel. Where is the help now when the US is in need??? Where is the French donations since they are such caring and generous people. How hypocritical that global community is so willing to take our money, but unwilling to reciprocate this generosity. That is fine…Americans take care of their own people and donations from around the US will come flooding in to help these people affected by Hurrican Katrina. How much do you want to bet that some in the International Community is pointing the finger at the US and blaming this on our “karma” or our action in Iraq?

Out with the Old, in with the New
The catch phrase is Out with the Old, In with the New...that is what we need to do about our congressmen and representatives. Why do we have seasoned politicians? The longer they stay in office the more distance they have between their constituency. There was once a time when farmers and other reluctant individuals knew the issues of their local politics and were sent by their peers to engage themselves in debate at the House of Representatives. Now we have a groups of politicians that concentrate on their next election and create some type of incumbancy that secures their job. This is not the type of politician I want...nor the type of politician that cares about the real issues. Perhaps we need to start recruiting righteous citizens to step up to the job.

Don't try to Liberalize the Boy Scouts
I’m pretty sick and tired of how the media portrays the Boy Scouts as an organization that cannot pick and choose its members. There is a question if they are public or private…well, I can tell you first hand that they are a private organization. I always wanted to join the Boy Scouts as their morality and teachings for young boys was something to be admired. However, I could not get into the Boy Scouts because my family could not afford the membership. In what manner does the Boy Scouts appear to be public? Is it because there there are membership fees? Perhaps it is because it has some religious foundations? Of course these are not reasons why it is public but reasons why it is a private organization. Perhaps the liberals don’t like the honesty, integrity, and honor that the Boy Scouts uphold and tries to infiltrate the organization with it sexual deviants and atheists.
Forcing the BSA to accept homosexual members would be like requiring the NAACP to accept a Klansman into their group.
