KelLuv, Very well put.
And there is a shortage of national guard and equipment in Kansas. The governor made the statement yesterday on the news and the mayor as well.

A Nationalistic agenda of spreading the word depletes all within America from squandering billions to lives lost, for what? Our military could be modernized and used for border security and disaster relief. But oh no, we have to be the bully on the world stage by promoting Bushs agenda to Americas detriment. The sad part Bush is still our leader!!
Even our infrastructure is degrading at a alarming rate yet Americas billions goes to foreign nations and Iraq to perpetuate this Meddling mentality. Amazing!!

After the criminal negligence this administration showed the victims of Katrina...we got tired trying to help while the relief funds all went to Halliburton and Blackwater (and other cronies), while ignored, pleading and terrified shut-ins and disabled slowly drowned, the evil mold that has grown on everything at the flood sites while new, empty trailers sit 600 miles away.
Why should we care if Kansas floods or Florida burns. Bush doesn't. And HE sets the agenda.
God Bless America

They're trying to say it's the governor's fault for not telling them what she needed. However, she did request replacements for what they took, and she asked it of the defense department. Of course she's a democrat, so the CONS ignored her.

ALRIGHT, I'M F'N PI$$ED. WHY DON'T THEY TAKE SOME OF THE 400 TRILLION DOLLARS THAT THEY GET FOR DEFENSE SPENDING AND BUY SOME NEW $HIT?!
IF THAT F'N DEBACLE, IN IRAQ, STARTS TO HARM THE QUALITY OF LIFE HERE IN AMERICA THEN THE DEM'S MIGHT BE RIGHT. I HATE SEEING IMAGES OF EVERYDAY PEOPLE MOTHERF'N SUFFERING.
KATRINA AND NOW THIS. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING? DID I MISS THE RAPTURE? FIRES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE COUNTRY, MONSTER TORNADO'S AND NOW THE 1ST TROPICAL STORM OF THE SEASON. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE RELIGIOUS FREAKS TO SPIN THIS
