I too am most amazed at the left. I worked and survived 911 for 11 months. I have since developed cancer and beat it thus far. I manage to live on a reduced disability pention and social security, which I worked for and planed for all my life. I blame no one. The truth is after four surgeries, countless pain and all I suffered I would do it again. I could never turn my back on the people of nyc. I am qualified for many 911 handouts, I just refuse to avail on them. Call it personal pride, or call it not draining the tax payers of this country. I can’t see me taking a hand up because of a crisis, but I am not a liberal looking to buy an election, or controling mases of people through poverty to support their agenda. Life is much harder now, but beat up, cut up, and tore up, I am still a fighter. I will never be a major player, working for the city again, but I am struggleing with the books and schools again striving to better myself. I think the big difference is attitude and pride. I could never see me begging bread or living on handouts, and I refuse to take money from my hard working neighbors to live “equally” without giving something in return. I only wish we had reduced property taxes for the elderly and disabled. Over 40% of my pention is wiped out just to pay my taxes. I will never subscribe to this hand up mentality. One either has a work ethic of being part of a community and working to better themselves, reguardless of odds, or one feels they are above the common citizen and entitled to handouts because our government owes them a paycheck for existing. It all comes down to personal choices, pride, and work ethics, or dependency, and a welfare mentality of being owed something because one is an america citizen.

I have yet to read ONE liberal blog that was uplifting, encouraging or had anything positive or good to say about this disaster. No wonder they’re holding their cash.
If someone knows just ONE positive liberal blog, please let me know. I won’t hold my breath.

Hey John:

It’s not spin when people are wasting space on their blog to criticize the President when others are trying to raise money rather than defend him.

The righty blogs raised almost double what the lefty blogs did. Gee…ya think if they cared more about their fellow citizens than they did about goring the President that figure might have been reversed?

The usual plethora of spin attacking those who have criticized the appalling response to this disaster. As Harry Truman pointed out the buck stops here when you are president, it’s like being the captain on a ship. I think people can make up their own minds about how much leadership or not he displayed last week. Now of course his political operatives have sent him on the road for the obligatory photo ops. I have a feeling it is not going to eraze the memory of the events of last week.

I agree with many of the other posters, now is the time to rescue & rebuild, let’s start casting stones AFTER all of the victims of Katrina have been taken care of.

Something to chew on. Those of you who think that the elevation of people out of poverty in this country and around the world should not be a priority of civilized society should take heed to the goings on in New Orleans. When the walls fall down you will be nothing more than a good source of protein.

The difference between the left and right

The left seem to think that throwing their money into political campaigns is more valuable than helping disaster victims. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. But the left can’t say that they care about the victims of Hurricane Katrina, and Bush doesn’t, wh…

Well said Lynette.

Rightwing Nuthouse, aren’t you doing the same thing as the “Liberals” by dedicating your website to Left-wing bashing? You should know that a few opinions do not represent the beliefs of all Democrats. Looks like you have too much time on your hands… Letâ€™s focus on what really matters here â€“ saving lives.
