Quoted from CICERO

Lol!  I live in a time where the government incarcerates the most people on the planet(a disproportionate percentage minorities), raids homes with heavily armed SWAT teams, a shoot first ask questions later police force, mass surveillance on the entire world, sold its citizens out to the bankers in the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars, and a foreign policy over the last 50 years that has kill millions of people either directly with war or indirectly through sanctions.

Times weren't perfect then, but the scope of destruction was far less.  Freedom wasn't perfect, but if you measure the amount of destruction to human life in the name of government, the numbers today are much greater.

As I thought... Cissy would be just as big an Anti Govt Crybaby if he lived in his Utopian times.  
This issue with Cicero isn't about Government, it's about his personal problem with authority!

Quoted from bumblethru

So just who is this Ron Paul??? Wasn't he some backwoods congressman who voted
against disaster aid for his own district???  That Ron Paul?

Didn't he put himself and his ideas in front of the American people as a Republican candidate for
President... and didn't he finish last???

So why should we care what some washed up crazy from East Bumfock Texas has to say???

That selfish bastard!  I can't believe he had the gull not to demand money from the people in YOUR district in order to pay and rebuild the million dollar ocean front property in his hurricane prone district.  I can't believe a red blooded American congressman would expect the wealthy people in his district that own ocean front property to pay for and rebuild their own property, without money from the union laborer in Upstate New York.  What has America become if we can't pull together and have the poor and working class pay to rebuild the high risk ocean front property of millionaires built in hurricane zones?

Ron Paul's home wasn't damaged in the storm... he had no losses... so why should he give a fock if his
constituents were homeless.

He must not live on the coast in a hurricane/flood plain.  That bastard!  He can probably afford ocean front property that the rest of the taxpayers will pay for if it gets destroyed.  How dare he do his homework and choose to live in an area less likely to be damaged by floods or a hurricane...I don't know how he even considers himself an American if he isn't willing to make everybody else pay for his bad investment.  

Look at the bank bailout. That's what America is about!  If you take a risk and make a bad investment issuing mortgages to the unqualified, the collective "we" need to make sure the wealthy are rewarded if that risk goes bad.  That's what the Constitution means by "We the People".

If the few wealthy fail in their personal investments, "we" must collectively fail and bailout those bad investments.  THAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY!

Cissy thinks this is all so funny! HA HA HA... those jerks didn't properly insure their home against
disaster.  How about the local governments??? How do they rebuild?
Was Daddy Paul (fake libertarian) smart enough to NOT LIVE IN A TORNADO ZONE??? Did he
make the right choices, or is Daddy Paul just as vulnerable to those losses... oh yea... he's
rich, so losing one of his homes is less of a disaster.
If he loses his home to a disaster, he could always stay in a luxury hotel.

Maybe by budgeting and insurance?  If you live in Galviston Texas, you should pay a hurricane tax the will pay the insurance premiums to rebuild city infrastructure in case of hurricane damage.  I understand that's a bizarre concept.

And if you live in Schdy NY, you should pay tornado TAX.

Federal funds should pay for federal property, state funds should pay for state property, local funds should pay for local municipal property, and private funds should pay for private property.  Even private companies have contingency plans for natural disasters figured in their budget.  Even if I believed in a need for government at a local level, the basic budgeting for a natural disaster contingency plan is pretty simple.  It's your wacky idea the the federal government must go in debt to bailout a municipality that did not budget for natural disasters is the reason the federal government is trillions in debt.  

Again, another example that if TRILLIONS of dollars of debt were not floating around in the economy, the rebuilding after a disaster would not be so expensive.  

Of course if governments must exist they should have funds budgeted to repair after ANY natural disaster.  That would be the responsible thing to do.  Do you have an insurance policy to rebuild your home in the event of disaster?

Can we get back on topic please and talk about how stupid Obama and Kerry made us look.

I can't believe how dumb Kerry is acting, he did not strike me as moronic when he was running for president. I think he has got something wrong with his head, literally, why is it growing like that, he looks like one of the dinosaurs.
Obama was the media candidate, he never did know what he was doing, but I can't believe he's so conceited he doesn't at least ask somebody instead of pulling policy out of his you-know-what. I really think he may have led us into this to cover for the disastrous implementation of his horrid, unconstitutional, scam of an excuse for health care reform.
