Neil Cavuto: Look, they might ultimately do a good job, but we thought it was a little early to do the back-slapping when a lot of their constituents were doing the finger-raising. On the phone with us now is Texas Congressman, Ron Paul. Congressman, I had your colleague from Pennsylvania saying, “Give FEMA another 14 million dollars right now even if you have to go into debt to pay for it”. What say you?
Ron Paul: I think that’s a bad idea. When is it going to stop, where is the limit? And, evidently, there are no limits, they’re already 18 million dollars in debt, and they’ll spend another 14 million dollars for a program that causes people to do dumb things. I mean, this is why people build on the beaches and on the coasts, because the market doesn’t provide insurance for them, but the government does. So people who don’t get to build nice houses on the beach, have to pay for the rebuilding of it. It’s a terrible program, and I’ve had this position for a long time, and I get many, many times more calls complaining about FEMA than I ever get complaining about my position on FEMA. So it’s never hurt me politically and the people aren’t even with this. But I have to say, though, that when the trouble hits, we have this program and I try to make these things work, but, quite frankly, they can’t work. They’re just going to help drive us into bankruptcy and all this will have to end.
Neil Cavuto: You know, – I know you risk it, and I admire you for that – you always look cruel when you say no to FEMA because you know a thing or two about FEMA’s track record. And, even now, I’m worried for people on the scene and folks in Stanton Island, New York beleaguered borough over there where they keep saying, “Help is on the way, help is on the way”. FEMA’s there, but water bottles aren’t there, basic creature comforts aren’t there, the basic supplies they needed were delayed. And if it weren’t for private funding efforts and the likes of Wal-Mart getting involved, as much as that retailer did after Katrina, there would be no help there. But now we’re getting word, Congressman, from FEMA administrator, Craig Fugate, that, “More than 210 million dollars has been approved for individuals to assist with housing and other disaster related needs”. The problem with that money seems to be that it’s not immediately dispersed, you can approve it, but it doesn’t mean it gets into the hands of those affected right away, it could be weeks or month, right?
Ron Paul: Yes, and that’s when their congressman will be called and that’s when we will get our calls and people would beg and plead. They’d been told that they paid their flood insurance, so they ask when are they going to get the relief. And it’s very, very difficult, it’s bureaucratic, it’s very, very slow, it’s very inefficient. And, you know, when the private companies have insurance, I think they do get the checks to the people much, much quicker. But FEMA is an obstacle, it gets in the way of local authority. For the first 200 years of our history, the federal government was never involved in natural disasters. And after Katrina, you think the people and the government and the politicians would wake up and say, “Maybe this isn’t the best way to do things”. But no, it continues in the same way, we never change our way. And none of this is going to end until we declare our bankruptcy and admit that we don’t have any money. And the congressman that casually said “14 billion dollars is no big deal”, well, where does he think it comes from, it comes from poor people. Because, if you borrow it, they’re indebted; if you don’t borrow it and you print it, they get the inflation, or you get the business cycle and they end up without their jobs. And they think it’s for free? They have to wake up and see that everything costs something, every time the government spends money, it is a cost and a tax and it comes back and, unfortunately, it hits the middle class more than anybody else, especially the low/middle income class who try to survive. They suffer the most with all these programs, even with this pretence that they’re going to take care of us forever.
Neil Cavuto: Well, you know, you always look cruel if you oppose it, but then you just say the track-record is such … it’s like these telephones and everything they do. You know their heart’s always in the right place, but if Haiti got a fraction of the money that was pledged to it after the earthquakes and disasters, it would look like Atlantis right now.
Ron Paul: That’s right. And it’s the same thing over and over again.
Ron Paul: Yes, yes, we got to think through this, folks, we got to think through this. Ron Paul, always a pleasure, sir, thank you.

It’s always about the white man! When Pacific Islanders colonized Easter island, it had the largest palm tress ever known. Related to Chilean wine palms, but now extinct.
I’m trying to help you remove the glasses of critical theory. ALL major societies have laid waste to their lands in order to grow empire and build navies. How do you think upper and lower Egypt were finally united. And what did all those pyramids get them?

That’s funny! I read that the Huron and Algonquin allied themselves with the french in the 16th and 17th centuries. They did this in order to avoid annihilation by the Iroquois nation.
Meanwhile, in the Andes, the Inca empire expanded to cover most of western south America, laying waste to the nations in their path, enslaving the people.
The Han Chinese expanded south into indo-china, driving the indigenous people into the hills (montagnard.)
A marxist education is an unfortunate thing.

The Indians were pushed back into the interior as the hordes of white settlers came until the Indians got tired of being pushed back into the woods and started fighting. As Mark Twain said, the white man gave the Indian a Bible and told him to get down on his knees. Then he knocked him over with a rifle butt. We ALL Reap What We Sow. Everyone is a Little bit responsible, including the women who sit all day watching Soap Operas and QVC, the idle rich. 7000 trees down in NY. WHY NOT Cut them B4?!

People, like Hurricanes, take the Path of Least Resistance. When the White Man first came to Florida, there were 200 foot tall Palm Trees. All of the East Coast was covered in forests and trees kept the topsoil down so there really were not vast expanses of sandy beaches. (no pun intended!). Europe had solved the food shortage problem and so had a population explosion. That wiped out 90% of the native American tribes in 500 years of Genocide after Columbus. The trees were cut down. So…

“You’re only Libertarian until you run out of money and need help… then you’re a Socialist.”
Why is that? Do you think I’ll start looting people like a Socialist, or will I just ask people for help?
Socialists need to pretend they don’t know the difference between altruism and slavery. They’re just covetous people who want to use force to take what they covet, a share of their neighbors labor and property.

Here are some numbers that will sober you up!
A lot Less than Half of the eligible voters bothered to cast their votes this time around.
So the “winner” got less than 1/4 — meaning over 75% of the American People do not care for Lil’ Hussein!
1) The 2012 “election” was reduced by 12 Million (that is a huge decline from last election — showing that nearly 10% of the previous voters decided that NEITHER is worth the effort)!
2) Who voted for Barack Hussein — and how this reflects on who determines our Nation’s path?
a) 99% Lesbians and Gays
b) 98% African Americans
c) 95% Latinos (Mexicans)
d) 92% Jews
e) 91% Unmarried Mothers
Qvo Vadis America?

its actually not FEMAs fault, its the states and local gov’ts, even the unions that slow down the processes, FEMA is pretty efficient at getting help, but its up to the states whether they want that help or not, its a money game, states elect not to take FEMAs help because they are helping their state and local economies with a mass influx of work during hurricanes or other disasters.

Well at least it’s better than your references to farm animal genetalia (dicks, of course). Your unique usage of the word “fuck,” “paultard” (another original of yours), and so on. Are you right out of high school?
Are you getting a hard-on trashing RP supporters, or am I wrong, and you actually have no dick at all?
Do yourself a favor, squat on some dick, grow a dick, suck a dick, something to satisfy that urge. Or just fuck yourself and save some money.
Troll be vanquished!
Let it be so!
