Why do you need to watch Fox News? Because you need the motivation.

Barnes, speaking on "Special Report with Brit Hume" on Monday (August 29), said people who move into such areas should assume the risk themselves rather than expect help from Congress. He noted that earlier in the day he talked to a Republican official who also noted that as the storm raged, "every half or hour or so, you know, there's another billion dollars, another billion dollars the federal government's gong to have to spend."

Barnes himself has a home in Florida. He bragged that "last year, when there were two hurricanes, and I got a new roof, I paid my part. My private insurance company paid the other part. The federal
government and taxpayers paid no part."

That, of course, is wrong. The insurance in coastal areas is subsidized by the federal government through a mechanism called the wind pool.

Did you see those people just needing water? Did that break your heart to see the children so bewildered? Of course it did. But what was Barnes concerned about? I would call him a bastard, but I would be doing a disservice to all bastards.

You need to watch Fox News. Because they are there, and they need to be gone.

Dollar signs

The Poor

It is all thier fault.
Jesus doesn't love them

Now where is my money

3. What the fuck would Barnes have them do ? Be homeless?

He wants them all homeless? Does he want these parts of the country to be inhabited? Just so his taxes won't go up? Even if you are a heartless, greedy, mean, bastard it's not a smart move. They need to get me on those fucking shows. I can come up with some good questions for those ignorant whores.

7. Yep!

Typical Freeper response--"They got what they deserved--let them get a job (or three) and rebuild their lives themselves and stop leeching on the government"

9. They can bootstrap themselves up, like Raygun said

In the eyes of Barnes these are just a bunch of lazy dark skinned people who live in palatial government sponsored housing. They could have their hearts desire if only they would lift themselves up by the bootstraps.

2. This Barnes is far from Noble

4. I never watch Fox News.

There is no reason to do so. In any case, I have children, and I certainly don't want them unnecessarily exposed to indecency.

5. I can only take about 5 minutes of this.

I had one of the most ignorant conversations with a customer one day after Florida got hit last year. He didn't want to pay for "The people that want to live in paradise". The one that got me going was "Well, you move there, you deserve what you get".
By the time this was over, the only place to live was his house, cause he was smart.

Then he tried to change the subject and said he had to go to a friend of a friends' funeral, that died that weekend in a DRAG RACING accident. I looked at him and said "Well if you race cars, you should expect that to happen sometimes".

He called me a couple names and left.

I promptly called his wife and said for the both of them not to come back.


I realized that this relationship would never work, previously I had almost thrown her out for saying "The Vietnam Vets deserve anything bad that happens to them,beacuse they didn't take advantage of what the military had to offer them while they were in"!!!!

The one that got me the worst with her was, "You can work with one leg or arm"!!!


Haven't seen them since.......

6. And yet the hypocracy that can be said OVER and OVER

as the war raged, "every half or hour or so, you know, there's another billion dollars, another billion dollars the federal government's gong to have to spend."

All of which could've been better used HERE

8. BINGO! Barnes has no problem with the billion a week in Iraq.
