That the Neocons, Religious Right want to give the Marching Orders for the Country and still retain their tax status. Not everyone has their outlook nor do they wish for them to have any power over the governing of the people. They would serve much better in helping the people.

That with a natural disaster such as Katrina happened with no more preparation than what was made. Knowing now that there was ample warning that could have saved possibly hundreds of lives.

That the National Guard instead of being here where they belonged doing what they are best prepared to do taking care of disasters here at home were and are instead in Iraq fighting an Illegal War with all their equipment.

That what is left of the National Guard here is now facing cuts to the Guard itself.

That there is closing of Military Bases here in the United States that employees thousands of Americans. But there are plans for Halliburton to build four (4) massive military bases in Iraq.

That there are also plans for Halliburton to build New Prisons and Detainment Centers here in the United States. Will one of us be in one of them? If you protest or dissent chances are, Yes.

That with the tragedy of 9-11 Bush pulled out all the stops in trying to Halt Any Investigation into what happened. Then forced with the organization of the 9-11 Commission we saw time and time again how they would drag their feet and refuse to testify under oath or only answer what questions they wanted to answer. In the end we get a watered down version of a real investigation.

That even as watered down as this commission was the recommendations that they made still have not been implemented

That showing the complete chaos from Katrina, how ill prepared we were and the complete incompetence of Homeland Insecurity and Fema, we are to believe that we are safer than before 9-11. That we are prepared for an enemy attack.

That this administration was quick to point out how well things were taken care of in Manhattan on 9-11, the republicans in charge knew how to react A tragedy for sure on one small island and one small area, now compare that to the entire Gulf Coast and comprising three states and even though there was a Democrat Governor and Mayor. FEMA and Homeland Insecurity is under Republican Control.

That help from outside our country was ready to move in and give aid but was denied. namely Venezuela and Cuba.

That the government now has turned all these displaced people out onto the streets with no place to live, after scattering them across the United States.

That they paid a ridiculous amount of tax payers money for cruise ships to be brought to the Gulf Coast to be peopled by very few people when there was an offer by another cruise line for ships to come free of charge.

That it leads you to believe that maybe the people on the Cruise Ships may have been "Our Kind of People", something along the Dan Quail line.

That now when the Petroleum Companies are showing the largest Profits in History the American People in some areas of our country are relying on the charity of Venezuela in order to have the fuel to keep warm in the winter. Being sent here by the same man this government is actively trying to overthrow.

That said same government now wishes to reward the same Petroleum Companies for making such large profits by allowing them to pump their product Royalty Free, thusly adding many more BILLIONS of dollars to their already bulging coffers.

I am closing in on 70 years. I write because I am forced to do so by the times. It being my way of trying to do something constructive. I write from the heart and as I believe things to be. If you think I am wrong do not ask me to prove myself, it (more...)
