"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right that Heaven itself has ordained" - President and General George Washington

"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try Liberty; for Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and His works" - Frederic Bastiat

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" - President Ronald Reagan

Welcome To The Fifth Annual Hurricane Katrina Week Celebration



Gulf? What Gulf? Right on Schedule, It's "Hurricane Katrina" Week in the MSM!

The Ministry Of Propaganda Mainstream Media is running interference for their Anointed Leader, The Current President, on things like the Government Takeover of banks, automobile companies, student loans, Individual Retirement Accounts, and pretty much everything else. They also never miss a chance to deflect any heat The Current President may receive onto his predecessor.  Celebrating the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, or any anniversary, is one of those convenient things that come up every year, right on schedule. That way, everyone can be reminded of how the previous President is to blame for all that is wrong, sort of like Emmanuel Goldstein in George Orwell's classic, 1984. By doing this, the aim is to marginalize George W. Bush and, by inference, anyone who may have any ideas that are not totally in line with Our Current President.  In addition, it is something that can be used to deflect the attention of We The People away from the steady dismantling of The USA. 

Ron Futrell on Big Journalism:
Thank goodness the activist old media has something to distract them from the disaster being created by the Cold Hearted Social Engineer in the White House.

They have Hurricane Katrina to talk about again.

This week marks the 5th anniversary of the hurricane and disaster caused by George W. Bush. Whew! Thank goodness, they can start talking about Evil Bush again. (Yes, RFK, Jr., said Bush caused the hurricane by derailing the Kyoto Protocol thus increasing CO2 pollution—he also predicted an onslaught of hurricanes to follow Katrina because of George W. Bush.)

NBC is planning a special Meet the Press from New Orleans on Sunday to no doubt bring up their favorite issue, George W. Bush and his horrible failures.
This will be a big week for the media to recreate what happened in Katrina to make themselves look like heroes and to make Bush look bad, once again.  They will recount the many awards they gave each other for what they saw as excellent coverage and they will repeat the mantra that it is government’s job to save us. If there is a disaster in my neighborhood, I will work to save myself, my family and my neighbors —  only then will I call 911.

I will hope and pray for the best. I will not call Obama, then blame him when he can’t save me. 

Mr. Futrell makes a few short and scintillating points about the facts regarding Hurricane Katrina that The Mainstream Media handles as "inconvenient truth", and it is well worth the few minutes it would take to read the entire article. If you've got to be reminded of Hurricane Katrina every year, you might as well get some actual facts to go along with the MSM's revisionist history.

Very good points. They count on Americans already having a ring in their nose so they can pull them around as needed, I'm waiting for the bailout of the MSM to come on down the line since they are failing so badly on all fronts, TV, Newspapers etc. I look for the libs to bail them out when the time comes to return all the favors the MSM has been doing for them.

Yeah, I guess I forgot to mention the Media Bailout. At that point, they can become the official Ministry of Propaganda since the government will then own majority stock, just like Government Motors. They have been a reliable and essential partner for The Left and for the Current Marxist In Chief and his party, to not give them taxpayer money when they are giving it to even rebuild mosques overseas would be an insult. I'm with you, the media will get their bailout, and that will be Bush's fault as well.
