Some freeper gems:
Edited on Thu Sep-15-05 08:58 PM by meganmonkey
THis is from their big thread about the speech:

What the hell does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. Give my money to everybody else.

More like STEAL my money, my children's money and my grandchildren's money. Bush is treating this like reparations without the nationwide impact. He's swallowed whole the idea "racism" is why the people in New Orleans have so many impoverished persons. This speech is a *mess* and it won't do ONE GOOD THING to improve 'race relations'. He's pandering. Pandering!!


---------
check out this tirade:
Bend over folks and prepare to grab your ankles, it is "pander to the poor, screaming black folks" time. The president is trying to bribe the black caucus into loving him and voting Republican. He has yet to learn the lesson that Rush so aptly stated yesterday; no matter how much you give these people, it will NEVER be enough! Americans have generously opened up our hearts and pocketbooks to help without any stipulation as to who is to receive the funds, black, white, yellow, purple it did not matter. Nearly a BILLION dollars has been raised, our church alone has raised and donated over $11,000 for relief efforts in less than two weeks. Over 3 TRILLION dollars have been spent on the “War on Poverty” and what have we got to show for it? Frankly; many of us have had it; the screaming ungrateful, ENTITLED masses from N.O. yelling "where is OUR stuff?” “you are not dong enough to help,” whites hate blacks," "Bush wants to kill black people," "Bush blew up the levy," "there is no equality in America," "Americans are racists," etc..., This tears it, they have killed the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Given the ongoing, never-ending statements, complaints, actions and attitudes of the overwhelming majority of these people; all I can say is they have received all they are going to get from many of us and frankly, their ungrateful, unthankful, disgraceful race baiting, hateful actions and rhetoric has set race relations back decades.

Tonight the President proclaimed that the government is going to throw hundreds of billions of dollars at the problem and this wealth will just end up in the corrupt hands and control of the politicians and people responsible for the problem to begin with; instead of laying the blame where it rightly belongs and entrusting the reconstruction into the hands of those capable of honestly/faithfully dealing with the problem:

1) Those who willingly and steadfastly refused to leave in spite of the fact they were warned DAYS IN ADVANCE that a category 5 hurricane was heading straight for them.

2) The Mayor of N.O., incompetent mayor Nagin who, during the disaster, never lifted a finger to get the old, poor and disabled out by using the fleets of busses readily at his disposal which now lie under feet of water, useless, like this black mayor who has now set up cushy new digs for himself in Texas.

3 Blanko, the governor of LA; a woman so inept, she failed to take coordinated action and sat on her hands while her state fell apart around her and who, for over 24 hours, could not make up her mind as to accepting or refusing the offer to help from the President of the United States.

These are the people who are to blame; the democratic black mayor and the democratic woman governor; not President Bush and NOT me, my family and the rest of America! However, instead of dealing with the TRUTH and holding those responsible accountable; because the race card has been and is being played, WE are going to be held responsible for the sheer stupidity of others; WE and our children’s children are going to be made to pay, and pay, and pay in order to placate them and rebuild N.O. a city that is surrounded by water and up to 25 feet below sea level! Not only that, the President is going to give the supervision of the BILLIONS of dollars of construction and supervision into the hands of mayor Nagin and govenor Blanko. The result will be; BILLIONS down the toilet.




(I'll add more...)

3. No, not everybody. Just Halliburton.
There's no way the Bush Administration will throw money at anything unless they can funnel it through their own crony network.

4. Racism? Shocking!
It won't help him, but maybe it will help blacks. They're only 12% of the population, but a major percentage of our problems (crime, poverty, etc.). Until they get themselves together and do something about it, it's going to weigh us all down. He's trying to get them to stop being Dem clients and stand on their own two feet, giving them genuine help and not handouts. That's not the "race card."

8. Oh man, they are PISSED!! LOL
"It's as bad as I expected. Why as a taxpayer do I have to "do my part" to rebuild an area that I don't live in. We live and do business and get the benefits of the areas we invest in...and should take responsibility for the risks and costs.
Write checks to everybody, create gigantic slush funds for local and state hacks, but promise us that there will be some Federal "inspectors." That givers me a lot of confidence. A lot of people are going to make a lot of money off of this, and its all coming out of our pockets. But George Bush is "compassionate." Bleccch."

10. Geez, what a lovely bunch of people. I wonder how many of those
who are whining about having to share any of their precious greenbacks with (gasp) poor black people call themselves "Christians." I guess this must be that Supply-Side Jesus denomination...

9. I have no idea what this one means:
"If it's FED Money ...the FEDS will be all over it...the FEDS will put those bozos in prison if the corrupt Lousyana Officials think they'll line their corrupt pockets...they need to look at Enron, etc.
The Feds will have a foothold like never before in corrupt Lousyana. And will have an opportunity to clean up lousyana once and for all. LOL...;o)

Lousyana is all excited for all the monies coming into their state....They need to remember this is not crook 'toon...it's W!!!"

Here's the link for all these, btw

12. Some of them are jumping ship:
"No this is just retarded. The federal government was never intended for this. Nobody ever needs to make emergency plans for themselves - the Federal will take care of them.
What is this Constitution Party people speak of?"

15. Ha! This is fun:
"FREE federal land give aways. $5000 FREE money until you find a job or for kids education. Yeah... "Charities and Churches and Business" that's just a smoke screen for people whose eyes glaze over anytime one of those are mentioned.
What a mess."

17. A black woman. A SINGLE black woman.
And she wasn't very convincing, either. LOL.

Too bad out of all those people in the Astrodome all they could find was one who was really willing to say anything positive about bush.

:rofl:

Hell, I'm surprised they even found the few they did.

18. This guy is so mad! Bwahahahah!!! I've never had this much fun in FRville
"Well, I had to shut Bush off before I saw the whole speech. Bush said, among others:

1] that Mayor Nagin will be part of the planning of the reconstruction.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh George, you are soooooo funny!

2] and Bush did NOT say that foreign aid will be stopped until we can pay (WE TAXPAYERS) for this stuff.

3] Bush did not say that many pork projects will be stopped, that he will ask for elinination or drastic reductions in many other programs to pay for this.

4] Bush said we taxpayers will pay for free transportation to reunite families, instead of asking local cities, counties, individuals, relatives or charities or churches to do transport families.

5] We will pay for this, we will by those people that, we will waste $$$ on this, we will waste dollars on that, blah blah blah ....

6] Oh yea, Bush proposed more racial discrimination by saying minority owned businesses will get special treatment. This is really odd since most minorities in NO got in trouble in the first place because they got used to favoritism and handouts, etc.

What did I miss? Anybody care to add to this?"

20. I love how this white person says, in essence,
"these black people have gotten all they are going to get from us" (the church).

Why? Because they are so darned UNGRATEFUL. Give them something and they just demand more and more and MORE. And they don't even get down on the ground and grovel the way they are supposed to when the nice white people from the church give them money. Sheesh.
