Bitter cold inside a disaster shelter...."We got f--ked!"

Yes, they did vote for Obama and are his stronghold. It's hard to have sympathy when people do that. THe kids are suffering for what their parents did, too.

I don't think Obama is capable of managing anything. It's going to be up to the state governors.

The hotels/motels are booked solid.

Fuckwit

good to see you earning your paycheck

Heaven forbid a Katrina type storm would have hit. There would be no one left.

They must be getting below minimum wage -their logic is pathetic.

How's that GED working out for you?

Give them a break. Even if they weren't prepared at least now they are breaking their silence on how Gov is working for them. We all have a learning curve. It's not their fault the school system has brought them up to beleive in the goodness of government.

Now they know. Better late than never. Even with my skeptisism I'm still shocked at how little the gov. cares for us. But I am always, ever hopeful.

Struck me too... like a slap in the face.

The family featured in the article are exactly the type of Americans that we need to help in natural disasters. There is no way they would be expected to have the resources necessary to deal with this on their own...

Yet, these are exactly the people we are letting down.

How many well off people are getting FEMA paid Hotel rooms... FEMA Generators... additional resources to clean up and get power on? That is what I would like to know...

Now this I can agree with! As much as we are spending on DHS to keep us safe from terrorists, we can't figure out a way to provide shelter for those who have lost their homes?
Maybe the governments proirty is in the wrong place?

Wouldn't matter...there would still be no help for anyone.. Their black master can do no wrong..Welcome to 2016 0bama's America...He already cut millions out of fema..it's become nothing but another money laundering operation.

Hint ... DHS has NOTHING to do with Disasters or Disaster recovery. DHS is strictly a police and quasi police agency ... NOT a Disaster Reponse Agency.

DHS now runs the TSA, FBI, various "internal" search and checkpoint operations (been stopped by DHS speedboats more than once), etc..

Conservatives or people who call themselves conservatives lost and will continue to lose because the hardcore obsess about stuff MOST Americans don't obsess over, like:

*Religion, especially evangelical shit and an obsession with the end of the world

*Gay shit. Most evangelicals and self described hardcore conservatives are obsessed with homosexuality, and sexuality in general. Get the fuck over it. Most Americans, especially outside of the south, don't care and have a live and let live attitude.

*You basically run and hide in small towns, rural areas, and so-on, and are afraid of big, bad cities. Well guess what morons? Big urban areas ARE WHERE THE VOTES ARE...IT'S WHERE MOST PEOPLE LIVE. Nice republicans always win Wyoming, Montana, the Dakotas, Idaho, but it doesn't mean jack shit in an election. Stop running away from the world, being pathologically anti-social, waiting for the 'Rapture' and 'End Times'....and LIVE.

The 'Southern Strategy' that 'Conservatives' and Republicans have used successfully since the 70s is now failing; it's like a broken business model. You can not any longer rely only on southern evangelical folks to win an election. Republicans and conservatives need a new business model that must include a wide range of people and regions other than the south. The U.S.A. is a BIG country.

*OUR MILITARY IS TOO FUCKING EXPENSIVE....we have too many commitments around the world. And out alliances are often bullshit, with the U.S. servicemen and women doing the heavy lifting. U.S. Armed Forces are now also primarily the muscle for too big to fail multinational corporations. And Israel...WTF is up with this 'Relationship'? It's frankly toxic, IMHO, but say this in the U.S. and you'll be vilified and shot down as being 'Racist' and 'Antisemitic'. But mainstream conservatives in the U.S. especially these retarded evangelical Christians down south are obsessed with Israel and the end of the fucking world. The whole thing is FUBAR.

I'm a real conservative BTW; not a phony like I've witnessed take over the U.S. conservative movement over the past 30 odd years.

New Jersey went blue, let them reep what they sow.

If this had happened in CANADA (which it will soon) we wouldn,t sit online saying "oh my this is terrible"
We would start blowing shit up.....
Like really blowing shit up.....
Only a fool dosn't know that they arer NEXT.....
You need to do some thing more than talk......
Oh ya "this could never happen to me"

Well off people & the middle class who have homeowners insurance are NOT getting any help from FEMA! Once they know your income & that you have insurance you do NOT qualify for FEMA assistance.

And the corrupt Red Cross who are showing up at the disaster with hot chocolate and cookies and whose CEO makes over a million dollars, where is their help for this disaster? They keep taking in millions, where is it going? Where did all of the Red Cross millions go after Haiti?

there is no blue or red moron.....
pull together before it is too late....
this is what they want...
You have been perfectly seperated...
start blowing shit up....NOW

Will that sucks it really does.

But you people up in the north voted for Obama and all the other commi pigs up in that part of the Country, so live with what you have created.

This is how much you left wing party cares about you, all they care about is staying and getting more power.

Now, just maybe you people up there will see the truth. I don't thank you will but maybe.

If this had happened under a GOP president, the media would be all over it, as they were with Bush and Katrina

Now it's going on over 10 days, and millions of people still have no utilities, no heat, no help...

Remember that song that went viral: George Bush don't like black people?

Someone needs to write something in reverse...look at the video below, listen to the lyrics and then think about what is going on in the Rockaways, Staten Island and the Jersey shore....

they were complaining about 5 days, in NY it's going on 10

Obama sure doesn't seem to like white people...and these are farkin democrats who put him back into office

let this be a lesson for everyone

Do you know Texas ranks #3 as one of the most indebted states in the country? Yes, Texas.

Do you most welfare states [states that get more $ from the federal government than give in tax revenue] are 'poor' and red states? Do you know which states have the highest number of people on Medicaid? Which states have the un-healthiest people?

Do you which state rank highest for low educational attainment, poverty, low GDP, low wages and personal net worth?

Don't feel too bad for NJ, it's one of the richest states in the country, in the top 3.

This is true, FEMA Aid for SANDY is almost impossible to get...

omg, are you serious?

I lived in Canada...at least on the east coast, no one got angry about ANYTHING

nothing...you couldn't get two canadians to agree about anything, and they are terrified of their government

I saw no one willing to stick their neck out for anything, and they seemed terrified to talk about anything controversial or political

Maybe its different where you live, but what I saw was depressing apathy

Sheep. Thinking humans would riot.

Action has consequences. U ppl voted for whomever and whatever. That what u get...

President: I don't understand, where does all this come from? How do you get funding for something like this?
Julius: You don't actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?

Independence Day

I am curious, this man has cigarettes and a car? Yet he has no incentive to leave this place? He is free to go, why does he choose to stay?

Govt Shill libtard back hard at work

You are such an idiot, however, it is fun and easy to destroy your feeble attempts at shilling

Texas is one of the red states which gives out far more than it gets back from the government, along with Colorado, Florida and Nevada.

Look it up...from a liberal site:

And that was last year, this year Texas will have an even bigger surplus and send more money to DC

That's why libtards hate Texas: it destroys all their arguments and shows their terrible government model for the crap it is...

Texas State tax collections soar, setting up chance for record budget surplus

By Kate Alexander

Texas could be heading toward a record state budget surplus just two years after facing a historic deficit.

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs reported Wednesday that total tax collections for the 2012 budget year, which ended Aug. 31, were $3.7 billion higher than had been estimated in December.

That total amounts to 13 percent more than the $40.3 billion in tax revenue that Combs had projected would come in during the first half of the state's two-year budget cycle and was even higher than the estimates lawmakers used to write the 2012-13 budget in May.

Soaring oil and gas production in West Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas are major drivers of the better-than-expected revenue collections.

The production taxes for oil and natural gas together came in about $1 billion, or 39 percent, higher than projected, and the industry also contributed heavily to strong sales tax collections, which were up 12.6 percent from the previous year.

The franchise tax, which is paid by businesses, also exceeded expectations by more than $500 million.

This is a test for the future !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A "live" test using living people. Nothing happens by chance.

Read that quite a few times in this thread. Not only are there lots of people in NJ who did not vote for Obama, but also you are an asshole.

Yeah your right....

We live in the country so we can get away from dumb asses like you. We are not running from people like you, we just love are freedom more and don't need Gov like you people do.
We are stronger then you people are by 10 fold.

And if the Dems and left are so great why are they treating the the peole from sandy like shit, oh thats right the left can never handle that stuff very well.

But when the left pigs like you bring the Country down as they are doing to all Countries around the world then everyone will call on US CONSERVATIVES TO FIX EVERYTHING WHEN YOU DUMB ASS LIBS CAN NOT BECAUSE ALL YOU PEOPLE WANT IS STUFF GIVEN TO YOU INSTEAD OF WORKING FOR IT LIKE US.

LIKE I SAID WE ARE THE STRONG AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN, WE BUILD THIS COUNTRY SO YOU LAZY ASS HAS A PLACE TO CALL HOME THAT IS KINDA FREE UNTIL THE LEFT IS DONE WITH IT.
