Just Wondering...

With a hat tip to Ron Arnold...

As you watch the flooding in the Midwest, have you noticed that there are no farmers running around with stolen plasma TVs or holding stolen liquor over their heads.

There's no looting or yelling "Where's Bush?", "Where's FEMA?, Where's my check?", or "Why isn't the Gov't out here saving me and my farm?"

Likewise, I've also noticed there are no reports of any other country coming to help or sending aid.

Shocking contrast isn't it?

  1. What? No Geraldo or Shepard crying about all the inhumanity? Now whining about not enough being done to curb the rapes, cannibalism and other nefarious lies we heard about in New Orleans?

    Must not very many people on welfare in the Kansas Flooding.

  3. This situation illustrates the double standard, attitude problem and media agenda in one neat package.

    The midwest flooding will affect all of America and much of the world due to the destruction of corn & wheat crops and the storage and transportation of last season's harvest.

    All products made with wheat and corn will be more expensive and starvation in importing nations will increase.

  4. Lew, you left out Obama.

    OoooOoooBama! Where are yooou?

    Hillary has already been there...helping out in a raft through all the raging waters, knee deep in mud, stacking sand bags, delivering food and water, directing emergency vehicles, rescuing people from roof tops, and all while dodging sniper fire from looters. Chelsea was manning the phones.

  5. Nice points! Has anyone ever researched "Weather Modification Technology"? Google HAARP or GWEN Towers.
    There is a GWEN Tower in Geneva Co..
    They claim to be able to modify the weather. Could they cause flooding as well?

  6. strange how different things are with this disaster compared to hurricane katrina.... maybe, the key is that the people in involved in this disaster are inherently stronger than those involved in katrina... perhaps those who are stronger need to share and help those who don't know how to help themselves....

    Most of the so-called victims of Katrina were brought up with the idea that they don't have to help themselves as in "big-government-can-do-for-me". Perhaps if Big Government would just simply go away people would learn to be self-reliant...the way we were meant to be!

    When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a "vanilla" Iowa, because that's the way God wants it?

  9. To anonymous:
    There was a chemistry professor in a large college who had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting Communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new Communist regime.
    While telling his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.
    "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.
    "When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
    "Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are trapped. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."
    The young man then told the professor that this is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, subsidized housing, school programs, medicine, drugs, etc. We continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
    We should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of freedom in America, you might want to send this on to your friends.
    If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this email.

    God help us when the gate slams shut!
