Oil waste has finally hit Mississippi!

You dont want the government to help others but you want the government to help you when you need it? Are you gonna beg and cry like governor jindal? HAHA, Mississippi is already taking enough of my money! 

Good Work Opusola, but you after all only 1 superman

Opuslola, you have no idea whats in the net neutrality bill. What the net neutrality bill does is that it prevents private corporations from blocking access to sites. For example, the bill would prevent Comcast from denying you access to certain websites at will, and will also prevent Comcast from turning the internet into cable TV (as in you have to pay for certain website packages, etc...).

It actually protects freedom on the internet, it will guarantee that you will be able to access whatever you want no matter which company you have your service from.

As for government aid regarding the oil spill, I'm actually against any government aid going to any part of the country that is against "big government".  Let poor Mississippi take care of this issue on its own.

You know whats interesting? A study was done in California, and it showed that conservative counties received the most federal aid, while liberal counties received no aid and actually contributed to the aid given to the poorer conservative counties.

What does this show? Why is it that all the Republican dominated areas of the country are the ones in need of most of the financial aid? Doesnt this mean that something isnt working?

I agree! Just get your "big government" burocrates out of the way! Pull back the Coast Guard and their regulations, and the EPA, etc., and let the states actually facing the deluge, use their own minds, and devices, etc.!

No one knows their own backyard like the owners!

Keep the Federal buracracy out! OUT!


Give us "States Rights!" Let "Beyond Petrol" repay us, not other tax-payers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are able to do certain things without your help or the help of others like you! You are more like the little grain that bothered the princess, by being under her matress!

Irritating and mostly useless!

Remember, I worked for the Feds for 28 years! Maybe I know a little more than you think you know?

So hows the hurricane affecting it all?

Originally posted by opuslola TGS, since most Democrats always point to the Republicans/Conservatives as being the party of "MONEY", then just why would all of these "POOR" states vote Republican? Hard to answer is it not? I guess you would have to argue that the "POOR" in these states is hypnotized by the "RICH" to vote for them? But, I will just await your response with "baited breath?"

This is actually very easy to answer. The people are conservative in those areas, thus they vote for the Republican Party ----> The Republican Party doesnt care about the average person, only personal wealth ---> therefore these states/counties tend to be poor because the Republican model of government simply does not work.

So they are not poor because they are  conservatives, they are poor because they vote Republican. This isnt the case in Democratic states/counties, which tend to be richer and more prosperous and actually have to give aid to the struggling Republican states/counties.

The Republican ideology simply does not work.

TGS, don't you realize I am trying to gain my super powers back? Your constant interferrence is severly limiting my recouperative time!

But, don't worry, I will soon gain my "super breath" back and blow the evil substance which we all depend upon, back into the deep blue sea! Where it will of course, cause no appreciable damage!

By the way, the group I call "Santa's little helpers", were back on the beaches, working as little as possible, removing little turds of oil from some of our beaches!

Gosh! They are only allowed to work 20 minutes out of an hour! I just hope these guys and gals can last over the long haul? After all they are making a very good wage for their type of job here on the coast line of Mississippi, that is $12.00 per hour! Since they are only allowed to work one third of an hour at a time, then I would suggest we pay them what they are worth, that is $4.00 per hour!

Locals are not allowed to participate in the clean up, since deeply oiled areas are considered as "off limits!" I would suggest these idiots might well arrest anyone who tried to remove these poisons without permission! Perhaps they might even shoot us?

Who knows?

The people with whom I share this little part of America, have had to live behind the protecting bands of concertina wire before! We were even threatened by the troops who patrolled the area!

But most of those guys could not follow their orders! They had common sense!

TGS, just what do you not understand in my postings? I specifically asked for nothing from Obama but a tactical Nuke to close the leak! As far as I know, Iran or N. Korea will not lend us one!

I don't want to take a pay cut to work for the "team!", but surprise, surprise, it seems many of these so called "workers" have been "imported" to Mississippi! A lot of them, it seems are from Illinois and Wisconsin, etc., or in your words those states who give their money to Mississippi! Local Mississippi workers seem unable to be asked to work even though they are registered and trained!

Strange huh?

TGS actually wrote;

"I never thought I'd say this, but Opuslola, I 100% agree with you in that government aid should not be given to those who do not want it. Counties/states who vote Republican should have all their federal aid taken away from them..that means money for schools, law enforcement, infrastructure, health care, etc... and that extra bit of money you get which keeps your states afloat."

I hope you feel the same way after the next two elections! We will then take even more of you overpaid states monies and place them in our pockets! Yum! Yum!

And, when the "big shift" happens in the next few years, I would suggest thaat us backward, poor, uneducated, Southern States, enact new tax laws that mmostly benefit us, that is those states most likely to be not under the control of labor unions!

We could then, as you serendipitely suggest, pass "progressive laws" that whould force highly paid places, such as where TGS lives, with harch taxes, whereby they would be taken from TGS, and paid directly to my checking account!

It is called "Noblis Oblige!"

So, TGS, be "nobel" for a change?

We are watching you and we know just where you live! We only attack rich Democrates, that have not filed income tax for many years! Lots of current Democrat leaders have yet to find out how to do their taxes!

I wonder why?
