		<description>&lt;strong&gt;My prayers are contiually with you. I realize that just as it was New Orleans it just as well could be me and my family, friends, and neighbors enduring this disaster without concern by principalities in high places because we live on the east coast of Myrtle Beach, SC. My heart aches as I continue to follow the news of slow progress (if any at all) regarding assistance, reconstruction, relocation, as well as the reinstatement of our people humanitarian rights that seems to have been blown away in this massive storm.  Our church has done what we could and are still doing for the families that  relocated to our area. It definitely is our heartfelt prayer and desire to do more if possible.  We don&#039;t have alot, (not a mega-church yet) but with God we do things we don&#039;t see others do without a cost. But thanks be to God, He gave His Son Jesus to pay the cost for me. I encourage all who read this to don&#039;t lose the one thing a storm nor a president can give you that is your FAITH and TRUST in the ALMIGHTY GOD. GOD HAS NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT ANY OF YOU BELLIEVE THAT!!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

She wove a tapestry of the real world with real life stories, showing how corporate media has put a veil on the world for the American populous. She spoke of fathers losing their minds after learning their sons had been killed fighting in Iraq, of Cindy Sheehan giving voices to hundreds of thousands, of our &#8220;leaders&#8221; vacationing and shopping as New Orleans being destroyed, of Rumsfeld buying the property of a former slave owner that had earned the term Mount Misery, of Rosa Parks being a trained activist in a time of rampant and merciless racism, of mothers letting putting their sons&#8217; dead bodies on the display to awaken the world to the destruction of war and racism, of moderate Muslims preaching community being profiled and - worse - arrested, held, deported, and tortured, of the importance of starting a movement that advocates for America reestablishing what we believe are its ideals.

		<description>I am sick of so many ignorant critics who call Bush names and act as if they know what happens when you are President of the United States. So Bush should rush back to Washington... to do what exactly? You don&#039;t think it&#039;s possible he could fully handle his job by phone? Besides, there are plenty of other people in charge that could and should be blamed for dropping the ball here. So why don&#039;t you people lay off Bush.</description>

		<description>Isn&#039;t this terrible:

Bush Waives Saudi Trafficking Sanctions

...Wednesday to waive any financial sanctions on Saudi Arabia, Washington&#039;s closest Arab ally in the war on terrorism, for failing to do enough to stop the modern-day slave trade in prostitutes, child sex workers and forced laborers....read on
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/bush_human_trafficking

Think Progress remembers: Just a year ago, we were told things would be different. President Bush, 7/16/04:  Human trafficking is one of the worst offenses against human dignity. Our nation is determined to fight that crime abroad and at home.

		<description>We are Bush Haters because we love our fellow man, while Bush&#039;s God is the Almighty dollar because that&#039;s what he worships.  Why else would republicans give to the rich and take from the poor?  Why is it more important for the rich to have stuff, then for a person to live in a home or a child be able to be fed?

What religion did you say you were - and what bible are reading from that says God is in control and doing all of this?!?  Do you even go to church, or are you interpreting the bible of Scott?!?

Because it says that nowhere, and God gave us the free will to help our brothers and sisters, which the republicans only think that means the top 1% who are wealthy. 

Yet, because of greed and power, and no accountability in the government (since repugs have all 3 branches), the Bush regime will do whatever it wants.  Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely!!

If you want to let crime and murder and hate happen all around without trying to stop it, then you have blood on your hands too!

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 3) 
Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land. (Verse 4) 
Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Verse 5) 
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. (Verse 6) 
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Verse 7) 
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. (Verse 8) 
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Verse 9) 
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice&#039; sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 10) 

You are proof that a little knowledge is dangerous!!!</description>

Why else would republicans give to the rich and take from the poor?  Why is it more important for the rich to have stuff, then for a person to live in a home or a child be able to be fed?</p>
<p>What religion did you say you were &#8211; and what bible are reading from that says God is in control and doing all of this?!?  Do you even go to church, or are you interpreting the bible of Scott?!?</p>
<p>Because it says that nowhere, and God gave us the free will to help our brothers and sisters, which the republicans only think that means the top 1% who are wealthy. </p>
<p>Yet, because of greed and power, and no accountability in the government (since repugs have all 3 branches), the Bush regime will do whatever it wants.  Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely!!</p>
<p>If you want to let crime and murder and hate happen all around without trying to stop it, then you have blood on your hands too!</p>
<p>Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 3)<br />
Blessed are the meek: for they shall posses the land. (Verse 4)<br />
Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted. (Verse 5)<br />
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. (Verse 6)<br />
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. (Verse 7)<br />
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. (Verse 8)<br />
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Verse 9)<br />
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice&#8217; sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. (Verse 10) </p>

		<description>The Coming Storm...

As I watch the horror being played out before my very eyes in the Gulf Coast, and see the death and devastation on every side, I canâ€™t help but think of the coming storm. No Iâ€™m not talking about a hurricane or even a tsunami, but rather The Great Tribulation. (Read Revelation chapter #6 &amp; Daniel 9:24-27) Though Hurricane Katrina is the worst natural disaster in the USA in my 35 years (almost 36), it will pale in comparison to the devastation that will engulf Planet Earth during the last 3 Â½ years of The Tribulation. Mankind has never before seen anything like this! In one hours time 1/3 of the earth and itâ€™s inhabitants will be destroyed by fire. Using our current population as a guide (which is growing daily) there are 6,466,331,504 people on earth, thatâ€™s nearly 6.5 billion! That means in one hourâ€™s time 2,155,443,835 people would be dead! Talk about disease and infections. Hundreds of thousand of others will die just trying to clean up the mess. As we saw in New Orleans the old human nature reared its ugly head and began raping, looting, stealing, and killing anyone in their path. However unlike today where God has His people and His Holy Spirit which indwells them still on earth, good, decency, and order eventually will prevail. But on that Great and Terrible Day there will be no Holy Spirit, there will be no Christian moral influence, there will be no decency and order. Instead it will be every man for himself survival of the fittest. Iâ€™m glad I will not be here to experience this horrible but inevitable event. Where will I be? Glad you ask. The only way to escape the Wrath to come is to become a child of God before it is eternally too late. The Bible teach that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. No one can earn heaven because we are all sinners. But God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus is Godâ€™s only Perfect Sinless Son who died on the cross for all men. Thatâ€™s right millions of souls now burning in Hell are the same souls Jesus died for at Calvary! Just like them He has died for you and I. Then on the third day He rose from the dead and was seen by over 500 people at one time after His resurrection. Now He is waiting for your answer will it be yes or no? The question of a lifetime is not who will I marry but rather where will I spend eternity? Our life is but a vapor it appeareth for a little while and then vanisheth away. I have punched my ticket outta here. Please punch yours before the Great Tribulation begins, your life depends on it!</description>

		<description>sometimes i wonder how this world will all end one day ? are we ready to meet our God ? He will return one day and take all people that have there names in the Book of Life !!!! Are you ready, because he said in the end times there will be many hurricanes an storms, and many wars, it is out of our control what happens next, God is in control at all times an there is always a reason for all these disasters !!! Bush had nothing to do with this storm, if you would only use common sense and see the big picture.</description>

		<description>Because of FEMA (under Bush) New Orleans residents (over 50,000) were left to die without food and water for 7 days in the Superdome (hundreds of babies, children, elderly and adults).  There were stores in the next town where anyone could&#039;ve been sent to get water and food, but nothing was ever brought to them.  They locked these people in there and wouldn&#039;t even let them walk to the next town themselves to get water and food to save their lives, and the lives of their babies, children and parents.  Instead they guarded the bridge (the only way out of town) and wouldn&#039;t let them pass so that they could get what they needed to save themselves!!

Walmart even tried to deliver water and FEMA sent it back, saying they didn&#039;t need it.

Even Fox News couldnâ€™t hide the truth.

Also, because of Republican Gretna Police Chief Arthur S. Lawson, Jr. ordered his officers to kill any black people that tried to cross the bridge that lead into Gretna.  His officers shot at blacks or people in the company of blacks that tried to cross the bridge.

This was allowed by FEMA who shouldâ€™ve put a stop to it because the Federal govt. takes over in evacuation emergencies.  Local authorities can only request help and were told the cavalryâ€™s coming everyday.

Also, because Bush put FEMA under Homeland Security, all requests had to go through the Pentagon (red tape) and they had to wait for the Pentagon to respond.  Clinton had FEMA as part of his cabinet and they were given immediate access to the President!</description>

		<description>Official Announcement:

The government today announced that it is changing its emblem from an Eagle to a CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the government&#039;s political
stance.   A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives you a sense of security
while you&#039;re actually being screwed.

Damn, it just doesn&#039;t get more accurate than that!</description>
