Before Hurricane Irene Hits Eric Cantor Proves He Is Sick Bastard, Playing Games With Disaster Funds
This news tonight totally ticks me off.
Folks are really concerned up and down the coast this evening about the impending hurricane that very well may change their landscape. One would think that this would be a time of pulling together as the government uses resources to making sure everyone is safe during the storm, and provide assurance that whatever happens this nation will stand with the victims in the days and weeks to comes.
But no.
A heartless Republican bastard is providing one more thing for millions of Americans to fret about as they board up homes and evacuate for safer areas.
Congressman Eric Cantor has opened a massive wound by suggesting that federal payments for disaster relief following in the wake of Irene, should be linked to spending cuts. Programs which have already come under GOP assault, and will be required in the aftermath of Irene, cannot sustain Cantor’s threats.
Perhaps Cantor should inform his constituents who live in Virgina, and could feel the wrath of Irene, that instead of getting federal aid they should just go to their local lending institution and find the funds there. Let the prevailing terms on repayment be the outcome for his constituents who possibly lose everything from this storm.
To say that these Republican bastards like Cantor are heartless is giving them too much leeway. These conservative Republicans are savages who seem not to understand that we stick together in times of crisis, and work to get through not only the storm, but also the aftermath. That is how America works!
What Cantor proposes is a Darwinian form of government!
Maybe this sick bastard would want to trim the tax cuts for his rich friends and corporate lackeys as part of the spending cuts he proposes so to help defray the expenses from kids that lose their home, school roofs, and a sense of security.
Until then, someone needs to tell Eric Cantor to shut the hell up.
Earlier this week I wrote about the differences between liberals and conservatives.
Eric Cantor has made my point.
“These conservative Republicans are savages” Really?
A man dares to express his opinion and “someone needs to tell Eric Cantor to shut the hell up.” Why is the liberal mantra always to tell someone to shut the hell up? Civilized men, it seems, can speak in great detail about how we work to get through the storm and the aftermath; savages tell people to shut up–that’s Darwinian.
Even I think that Cantor’s comments are foolishly timed. But I would still allow that the role of the federal government in times of disaster is a valid topic of debate. Cantor has taken a lot of criticism for suggesting that federal disaster relief should be tied to spending cuts. This is not the same as saying the federal government will provide no help–except to the left which would use any future disaster (because nobody has made disaster claims yet in the case of the hurricane) to score political points.
Interestingly, my boy fell the other day and cut himself. We took him to the ER and he got a few stitches which he thinks are cool. But I still had to make the co-pay, and I’ll still have to pay the deductable later. As my take-home has been recently clipped, I’ll have to cut something else from the budget. Why should the federal government be any different?
A biologist would term it in ways suited for science, but in a political sense I used it as intended. “Survival of the fittest” or the strongest surviving, that is what I posted about when making the statement, “What Cantor proposes is a Darwinian form of government!”
That’s not exactly what Darwin said. Darwin espoused a theory that new species arise by natural selection.
I propose to you that democracy follows a natural selection process. How else to explain that we are ruled by lesser men today?
That only the strongest survive. That is not a view this nation embraces.
What does this mean?
“What Cantor proposes is a Darwinian form of government!”
My brother-n-law made the comment “Freakin hurricanes! Any self-respecting natural disaster has the decency to strike without notice.” It may be, that in the future, that will be the only way to receive disaster relief.
