Your ignorance is astounding. Last year alone, tornadoes hit and destroyed many homes in FLORIDA, Tenn, KY and Alabama. Places that don''t normally get tornadoes. Same thing happened this year with freak winter tornados striking the south. Hurricanes have been known to be so severe, that homes 100s of miles inland have been flooded (as the surge can make any river or tributary to the sea/ocean flood). The largest and most dangerous earthquake zone in the US is under Missouri. Called the Missouri faultline, it is said that an earthquake with just a 7.3 to 8.4 magnitude, could be enough to destroy the delicate continental shelf and indeed plunge most of the east coast into the Ocean. The largest problem is there is no safe place and due to weather shifts, no area where drought, tornadoes or earthquakes and fires can be guaranteed not to occur. IN addition, people do not get to command their own destiny--they go where the jobs are. If that is a coastal city or CA, they will live there--whereever the companies hire and send them. Also, many insurance companies renege on what they said they would cover after a disaster, so buying coverage is not the answer. Insurance companies do not want the loss, so they cancel all policies or deny claims and try to move out.

Okay. The truth now--after everyone blasted "heckuva job Brownie"--Bush just had no desire to keep FEMA going. ("fine, don''t like his guy--then he won''t play)

He suggests you look under the tablecloth of the next GOP convention--chances are FEMA is with Bin Laden and the WMD. good luck finding any of them

As the word "sympathy" (from the government) is said to exist between the dictionary words "*******" and syphilis ; FEMA can be found between the words "emergencies" and "FUBAR" and for the acronym illiterati, FUBAR means "Fvcked Up Beyond All Recognition"

tulcak,
You ought to go look at the Gulf Coast. There has been a gigantic recovery there. Taxpayer''s did a lot of it. Private sector did a lot. But most of it was done by private sector using taxpayer money. But really taxpayer money should be reserved for roads bridges, levees, police, military and other infrastructure. Privately owned residences should be handled by individuals and their private insurers.
People should live in closer communities and use more public transportation. Don''t build on the side of a mountain and complain about transportation costs or below sea level and complain when the levee breaks.

[tulcak]

and,... the republicans are always making excuses for bush and their party. the bottom line is they don''t want to take any responsibility for anything - like a bunch of selfish bratty children. STOP making excuses. if you can show us any positive results that bush and the republican party have had DOING ANYTHING, post it now. 100% failure rate and you want to blame the democrats. when are you going to get a clue - you are a bunch of screwups...

[tulcak]

surprise, surprise... another screwup by bush''s FEMA? republicans just don''t know how to do government... with the republicans, there''s always an excuse why it CAN''T be done... its too hard, its too expensive, its not possible... wah!!!!!

When you choose to live in RISK areas and something like this happens, you should be prepared to take care of youself. Insurance has gone sky high and the gov. can only help so much. Mountain areas and sea areas are lovely, but when you choose to live there, expect to have problems with high insurance and problems with FEMA getting trailers up the hills. Give me a break, I''''m sorry your house burnt down, but you chose to live there and FEMA didn''''t tell you to. Don''''t blame the gov. for those problems.

Dude, You''re exactly right. I''ts like living in North Dakota and not having a winter coat. Listen, if you live in Tornado Alley-- Be ready for a freakin Tornado. If you live in a Coastal area known for Hurricanes then guess what? BE READY FOR HURRICANES. Also, if you choose to live in a place where trees encompass you house by 360 degrees and are exactly 3 foot from your window well then best have a plan for a fire. What ever happened to being self sufficent in our country..
"There was a Fire why oh why hasen''t the Gov''t came yet to bail me out.. I know why the president hates people who knew I''d have to fend for myself.

As reported in the fall of last year, the Great Emperor Bush II visited the people who lost their homes to wildfires in California and said "Don''''t worry, I will take GOOD care of you!".

Naturally, of course, just ask the people in New Orleans who are still waiting to get out of FEMA trailers before they are poisoned by their own government (the Great Emperor Bush II and his neocon Fasicst Nazi followers)! The same FEMA trailers that wildfire victims in California and tornado victims in the southwest are living! Ask them all how the Great Emperor Bush II is taking GOOD CARE OF THEM!!

The Great Emperor Bush II and his neocon Fascist Nazi followers are taking VERY GOOD CARE of their "under privileged" citizens and "Bagdad" John McCain promises to do the same thing!!!

Ain''''t we lucky???

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!

What in the hell are you talking about? It''s always easy to blame the boss huh? You know what people call bosses that have their hands in EVERYTHING??? They call them micro managers and most of the time they are hated for it. So all you can do is appoint someone you''ll think can do the job and hope for the best, you can''t really test FEMA until something happens. So how is that Bush''s fault? I''m not really a bush fan but *** you just seem to be blindly B!tching just to be hating on someone

Americans are always looking to the government to provide handouts. What a sad, dependent lot we have become.
