[fuzzybear9]

Hello America

Fuzzy what is todays take ?

Incompitence

the Incompitent National Weather Service.

all those Hawvard and MIT graduates working for the National Weather Service.

Fuzzy What are you talking about.

well I should have seen this coming, a record heat wave in New York City, and a blasting cold in Bozeman,
set up the senario for the perfect storm.
or vortex systems.

and since the Democratic Congress, keeps reasuring us that the National Weather Service, the FDA, and FEMA.
have everything under control, I was blind sided.

I should have seen this one coming, we couldn`t have saved their homes but the good folks in Iowa could have at least saved their belongings, with the proper extreme weather warning.

which only shows you can`t trust the Democrats to save the nation in a time of peril.

sincerely to all the needless suffering folks of Iowa,
Fuzzy Bear

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, Al Gore is right. Ten of the highest temperature years on record have happened in the last 14 years, of course Bush republicans may not be able to count that high.

And no Iowans won''t have to sit around waiting on help because they are God fearing republicans at heart and the Bush McCain team doesn''t want to lose their votes. They could care less about New Orleans, and you know what, so could I. I hope the place gets flooded out existance when the flood waters coming down the Missisip meet a hurricane.

FEMA has a lot of work to do in Iowa. Loans and grants must be processed to victims of the floods. It might help if FEMA used modern technology. All those paper applications and brown government boxes are strictly 19th century thinking. They might try the an internet site, instead. That would eliminate the disaster recovery centers and the disaster field operation.

Did the Governor ask the Fed''s to come in?

Hey bullyforhim, no need for homosexual schizophrenia on the board. Take your Thorazine. It makes your lobotomy an easier procedure.

l8c6, its easy. They call themselves democrats. God hates democrats. Thats why we thrown them out of our churches a few years back until they repent their sinner ways.

Who ever you are that says "these people need to move" and about those who choose to live in flood areas... How stupid are you?? Have you been in Cedar Rapids? have you watched the news? Do you realize that people who live 100''s of blocks away from the river are experiencing flooding? Its called mother nature jack ***!! natural disaster!!

[smithsss-2009]

Good idea to just pick up and move the second largest city in Iowa. Idiot! In the Cedar Rapids Metro area there are 170,000 residents most of which are not flooded out. The flooded areas are severe, but many are not. It is sickening to read the small mindedness of the people posting some of these comments. As if residents of this area do not have enough to worry about, go ahead kick us when we are down. But I sure hope you can afford cereal, soda, gas, beef b/c of this flood all of that will sky rocket because many corn crops have been destroyed.

I just talked to Jesus. He says to impeach your sinner liberal governer and he stops the rain.

What makes this governor liberal? It would be interesting to know how you define "liberal" Rush.

I''d say, let them pick themselves up by their bootstrps. Don''t expect nanny government to help them out.

Flee sinners! Gods wrath is upon you. Bwahahahahaha!

[l8c6]

Hmm, I don''t think it makes much sense to spend tax payer dollars rebuilding a city that is built in an area capable of flooding like this. The city should be moved to a different location. It might just work out well for some of these people though as I''m sure a few must have been impoverished to begin with.

You people who say that we got what we deserved with this flood are sick. I live in Cedar Rapids and this flood has caused total devistation. Its not like we live in a frequent flood zone - we have the Cedar River that runs through the heart of our city, we had a hard winter and heavy rains this spring that caused this. They have evacuated people in an area that extends beyond a 500 year flood plan. This is a natural disaster, and we certainly didnt ask for it. You people are truly just sick to speak of innocent people the way you are, many citizens have lost everything they have ever worked for in their lives because of this flood.

Man, how are all of you managing? Is there anything we can do?

Gee, makes Katrina look like a crack in the swimming pool.

"I''''m sure Bush will handle this well. He''''ll probably call his buddy Brownie out of retirement to help out."

Since Brownie already has his own disaster management consulting company I''m sure the Whitehouse hired him on a no bid contract. LOL DHS couldn''t secure their own zipper after taking a leak.

[grammawhamma]

To those of you saying the people in the Mid West deserved this horrid weather...guess what? Your food prices are going to skyrocket because the crops are ruined. Hope you can afford it.

[starleo146]

where is FEMA when you need them. Too busy getting all that warehouse empty they had for Katrina,these people sure could of used it, where did it go anyway? laying in a warehouse for 2 years and all disappeared. Iraq maybe sure could of used it in the Midwest

[ontheleft]

After all the billions spent on "homeland security" - we can''t even deal with floods and hurricanes, let alone a terrorist attack.

I''m sure Bush will handle this well. He''ll probably call his buddy Brownie out of retirement to help out.

[starleo146]

Don''''t ask for sympathy from me. Just like the people in New Orleans, they brought this on themselves. If they were a little more godly, prayed a little better , if god weren''''t looking to punish America, this wouldn''''t happen. It''''s their own fault. This is what you get when you start considering gay marriage. Maybe now these people will show up in church and put their wicked ways behind them and god will part the clouds and deliver some sunshine. Give up your wicked ways.

Or so some of you would claim. As for me I firmly believe : RAIN HAPPENS.
