Its simple....just "DOCUMENT" those things YOU SEEM to recall...there is an easy access to those things you SEEM TO RECALL called an archives. Does any liberal "ever" present any objective evidence before they accuse and attack based upon their own accusation? :palm: What? Your own personal "Russia Gate"....lets investigate the things YOU SEEM TO RECALL but just can't find the evidence to support your personal investigation?

Come back with the evidence....or is it simply to difficult to search for evidence? Yet another example of someone "walking" on the graves of over 200 people in order to toss out a political accusation. Very tolerant of YOU. Do you have any crippled kids to shove out on stage...... how about a little old lady?

It never ceases to amaze me how folk like you build upon your general and/or willful ignorance of current events that were covered in the MSM.

Put a cork in it and READ, Ralphie. Learn something:

Those don't prove your claim that "conservatives, Republicans and Libertarians carry on about how FEMA and gov't assistance in state/national emergencies was unnecessary when Hurricane Sandy hit."

Here's the full text of the HuffPo article you cited:

As Hurricane Sandy began its path of destruction along the East Coast on Monday night, Republican governors of Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey praised federal relief efforts that helped their states prepare for the massive storm.

But in the past, Republican politicians haven’t been quite so supportive of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). As Politico points out, hurricane relief has been a contentious issue on Capitol Hill as recently as last year.

Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) notoriously said federal disaster aid should be met with budget cuts, while presidential nominee Mitt Romney appeared to suggest during a debate in June that FEMA should be shuttered in favor of individual states taking on disaster relief management.

Romney isn’t the only one who wants to strip funding from FEMA. Watch the video above to see a compilation of clips of GOP politicians going on the the record in support of reducing the agency’s funding and influence.

Nothing that even begins to support you claim exists in that article.

Here's the entire text of the Ron Paul article you cited:

As Hurricane Irene barrels along the U.S. East Coast, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas said the nation would be much better off without the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

"I live on the Gulf Coast. We put up with hurricanes all the time," the GOP presidential candidate told CNN after a New Hampshire campaign event Friday. "There's no magic about FEMA. More and more people are starting to recognize that."

Paul has long been a critic of the agency, which he calls a "great contributor to deficit financing."

With more than 7,600 employees, FEMA falls under the Department of Homeland Security and coordinates response efforts when disasters strike.

Citing the Galveston hurricane in 1900 that obliterated much of the Texas coast, the libertarian-leaning congressman said Americans were able to rebuild their cities and put up a seawall without the federal government's help.

"FEMA is not a good friend of most people in Texas," Paul said. "All they do is come in and tell you what to do and can't do. You can't get in your houses. And they hinder the local people, and they hinder volunteers from going in."

After Hurricane Ike demolished parts of the Texas coast in 2008, Paul voted against a bill that would funnel billions in aid to the area, which covers his congressional district.

FEMA has since pumped more than $3 billion in federal funds into the state.

The agency received wide criticism in 2005 for failing to respond in a timely, organized manner to the vast destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina.

Again, nothing that can be construed as a validation of your claim.

For reference, here's what you claimed:

Repeating yourself isn't a winning argument.

As the chronology of the posts has established, your claim is debunked and rated false.

Its "Alinsky 101".....its been the democrat playbook since the 60s....yet they call themselves a progressive party.

They live by the book authored by Saul Alinsky, RULES FOR RADICALS...and its easily documented.

The latest example....as detailed almost verbatim in Alinsky's playbook to be the political party in power. The democrats are now as we speak attempting to "revise" or "rewrite" American History in relation to the War of Northern Aggression i.e., the CIVIL WAR. The DNC/MASS MEDIA CONTROLLED PARTY complex has attempted to make the institute of slavery (an issue that was solved over 150 years ago...again REAL PROGRESSIVE) an "abrasive agent to rub raw the old wounds to re-create resentment to fan latent hostilities to a fighting pitch..." a direct quote from the pages of Alinky's rules for radicals. Instead of rioting in the streets we all should be hoping (a hope based upon ignorance) that the removal of all the southern statues will ease the actual reality of losing some 750 thousand US souls to that useless war (as slavery was on its way out when the hostilities began...it had ended in England and in the Island nations such a Puerto Rico..etc., and would have shortly died a natural death in the states due to the industrial revolution taking place all over the western world)...

As democrats declare today, "Never allow a good crisis to go to waste...". Immoral and Deplorable walking on the graves of our fellow citizens.

This crap is just beautiful, the probability that this poster, or the majority of conservatives, ever real Saul Alinsky has to be close to nil, everything they he/know about it they were told from the right wing media, especially talk radio.

The same idiocy applies to the NYT and Washington Post, they all hate them, but the likelihood any of them read the actual Times or Post is probably as high as the Cleveland Browns having a 15-1 season

The Cajun Navy does take donations of money and food, a very worthwhile cause, these people worked miracles here.

That is so true. Heck, I'm a liberal and I didn't read Saul Alinsky!
