Preparation first, then prayer. Now that the destruction has happened, what next? Here are a few items from around the Blogs:
Relief Organization: (Salvation Army), is up and running for online donations.
Contact your loved ones :( Saturn) is up and running for contact with loved ones.
Check list for (Hurricane Survival) for you or those in damaged area.
"Where is the world-wide Relief for America's devistated hurricane Katrina victimes?" Good question from, Neil Cavuto, on Foxnews video; none coming, and we don't expect any. But like Neil says, a phone call from some of those we've helped would be nice.
Disaster often brings out the best in some, and the worst in others. There are stories of those who lost their lives looting, and others who gave their lives to save others. What can/will I do?
Recovering from Katrina

"Endangered species...
George Will likens the "prudent Democrat" to what was once thought to be an endangered species..., the snail darter. Washington Post, "Tone-Deafness Among Democrats"(search).
You've got to hand it to George Will, "prudent Democrats -- those political snail darters, the emblematic endangered species of American politics", shows his skill with words. But like George Will, I'm old enough to remember Conservative Democrats. They loved their country, and their fellow man. They had a reputation of standing up for "the little guy." They sponsored some good legislation.Turns out the "snail darters" were not endangered. Let us hope and pray that the "prudent Democrat" will surface once again and lead their party back from extinction.
There was a time when Senators disagreed without being disagreeable. There was a line one did not cross lest the Senator be labeled " dishonorable." Will the honorable Senators become extinct? There is a need for checks and balances. I believe in a two party system. I support minority parties as well. A dignified hearing for all nominees should be restored.

"...in this world nothing certain...
We've all heard old Ben Franklin's quote, " ... in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes." Tax reform is being worked on for Fall legislation.
Another idea for debate might be the old idea of a FLAT TAX as Steve Forbes describes in the , (Opinionjournal)today.
President Bush's Administration is fighting many GIANT political battles. This Fall, TAX REFORM is among them. We need to look at all the options, including this one.
"...In 1986, Ronald Reagan simplified the tax code somewhat: A number of tax shelters were eliminated and the number of tax brackets were cut to two: 28% and 15%. But the code remained intact. No sooner was the ink of Reagan's signature dry than Washington politicians slid back into their bad, old habits. Since his day, the federal income tax code has been amended 14,000 times. The tax system today is 60% larger than it was after the Reagan reforms."
We need to study this issue(read this article, Flat Tax Revolution "The Fair Tax book" etc), put all the options on the table, and hammer out a fair tax to replace the antiquated system we now have.

"Stay the course...
When falls the soldier brave,
Dead at the feet of wrong,
The poet sings and guards his grave
With sentinels of song --- A. J. Ryan
A. J. Ryan captures the feeling of many who echo VP Dick Cheney's sympathy for the families who have lost loved ones in the war on terrorists. Our prayers are with them.
In my lifetime, for over 64 years, the MSM has never loved the military. This is where the "WRONG" pops up in Ryan's poem. They are not reporting the RIGHT that our military is accomplishing in this Global war.
They who undermine this war are wrong. We are not fighting against soldiers, we are fighting against murderers. Our military families know that; and it is they who put the "home of the brave" in our song.

"Getting involved...
In another Blog, I was impressed by a blogger that was getting involved.I appreciate your optimism T N T. The more active we become the better.
We educate ourselves on the issues and then contact others to bring about change.You mention supporting President Bush on the marriage issue. That is a National issue. We need to know what our elected officials position is there and in their own State. Several States have amended their State Constitution, and several groups, like http://Florida4Marriage.org are petitioning to have the issue on the 2006 ballot.
Judge Roberts is a moderate conservative. That is not good enough for the extreme left who have used the Supreme Court to "legislate from the bench" as our President has stated. It is refreshing to see you involved in emailing. Notice we are always FOR something, in this case traditional marriage. We get involved, we don't smear.

'Guest' worker wilderness..."
A recent( post )by By Victor Davis Hanson, August 13, Washington Times, makes a clear solution to the problem of illegal immigration.
"... We are back to the one solution of measured and legal immigration that we all know will work but apparently dread: Control our borders and enforce existing laws. Fine employers who hire illegal immigrants. Provide a mechanism of foolproof identification. Return to policies of English-language immersion and cultural assimilation. Pay more now in higher labor costs -- but save far more later by avoiding entitlement, law-enforcement and social chaos."
This has made sense to me for a long time. I can not find within myself the pardon for, let alone approval of those who broke our laws above those who abide by our laws. Law breakers are not to be rewarded while legal immigrants are held back.
There is legislation in the works that would have fines of $2,000; but that would be too little for those who have, and too much for those who have not. Illegal is illegal. American must become an undesirable place to live if you are a lawbreaker. This goes for employer and employee who continue to snub our immigration laws.

"Anti-war moves in guise of grief..."
Do you see deja vu, I do. Make no mistake about it - the anti-war movement has surfaced right on cue. The President's ratings are down. The horror and grief of 9/11 has subsided. Move on .org has joined a real live Vietnam rally against the President with FULL media coverage.
Deja vu. The campaign for 2006 is in full swing with 40, at last count, Democrats in Congress asking President Bush to meet with angry demonstrators near his ranch. Same old play from the same old play book. They even have a not so good Joan Baez sing along on this CBS NEWS VIDEO. http://wcbstv.com/topstories/topstories_story_224083902.html . Do you see grief or anti- Bush protesters? Deja vu. Cindy Sheehan is not credible. Gary L. Bauer, Chairman Campaign for Working Families reports:
"..., Sheehan has repeatedly claimed that when she met with President Bush after her son’s death in Iraq that he was callous and unfeeling. But, one of our eagle-eyed readers found an article in the Fairfield California Reporter in June of 2004 that quotes Cindy Sheehan after her meeting with President Bush.
Among other things, she said:“We have a lot of respect for the office of the president, and I have a new respect for him because he was sincere and he didn’t have to take the time to meet with us… I now know he’s sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis. I know he’s sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he’s a man of faith."
”Yet, one year later she paints a completely different and negative picture of the president’s reaction to her loss. Just as importantly, Sheehan has adopted an extreme radical Left interpretation of the Iraq war, i.e. that it was done to “enrich the president’s oil friends and to fulfill ‘American imperialism.’” In short, she isn’t credible, but the average American wouldn’t know that from watching NBC, ABC, and CBS. "
I differ with Mr. Bauer only in that I believe the average American can see that this is a sham. She has fallen in with angry anti-war protesters a.k.a. BUSH-Bashers. Her husband has filed for divorce and her family has pleaded with her to quit being used by this bunch and come home.

Borkers and Porkers in congress
The Democrats have obstruction on their minds, while the Republicans have construction on their minds. The liberals all agreed that Judge Roberts was a brilliant lawyer, well qualified for Supreme Court, ... But their constituency demanded that he be "BORKED."
The Republicans have campaigned on cutting government spending, ... But their constituency demanded "PORK."
The "Borking" has not been going well for the Democrats lately... Well, nothing has gone well. It takes time to learn to be a minority. The "TAX & SPEND" label for Democrats has been retired. They now bear the label BLOCK & BORK anything Republican.
One the other side, a "GROW & SPEND" label is now attached itself to the Republicans. The ( Highway Bill ) loaded with "PORK." In fact, this Washington Times report equates "stories of Robert Byrd's roads to nowhere in West Virginia could soon be eclipsed by Don Young's Alaska."
Among the highlights of this bit of bacon, as Donald Lambro of The Washington Times pointed out yesterday: "Don Young's Way," a $230 million bridge in Alaska named for the lawmaker who chairs the House Transportation Committee; the "Highway to Nowhere," an $18.75 million bridge connecting Ketchikan, Alaska, to the Island of Gravina, population 50."
Democrats can't tax and spend because they are a minority; but Republicans can cut growth of government and pork spending. After national defense, these were the two big reasons we sent you guys up there. Grow the economy, hold the line on spending, and cut government waste.

"Take this country back..."
"Vote by vote, precinct by precinct, door by door, year by year and election by election, we will take this country back for the people who built it," Democrat Chairman Dean said.
One morning the Chairman realized that the Democrat party needed a MESSAGE. I hope this isn't it. You probably knew when the Democrat party owned "the country", I admit I never knew that. When in the history of America, did any political party have to "take back our country"?
This might be another of Dr. Dean's "versions of the facts." If the Democrat chairman and his party of wealthy elites could own America, and I'm not saying they could, would they "give the country" back? I think not. They would rule the country FOR the people and return to shaking down the people who "built it."
This soon after a National election for the Chairman to say, "The Democrats have no message," is very telling indeed. Former Sen. Gephardt said, "I hope they find a message soon." John Kerry ran for President of the United States just nine months ago - without a message.

"Let the Borking begin..."
"Does anyone know what time it is... Does anyone care" is from an old song that many of you may remember. What is happening to our country - and does anyone care?
NARAL will spend $500,000 to frighten cable news watchers and the people of Maine and Rhode Island, home to three liberal Republican senators. See (Manuel Miranda, WSJ) for the whole story. We know NARAL is a BIG MONEY special interest group. Yesterday(this Blog) we said "If it pays, it plays." Today we learn that radio, newspapers, and TV are going for the MONEY! They KNOW that the ads are WRONG - yet they DON"T CARE!.
Judge Roberts is being portrayed as an advocate of gays and protector of bombers of clinics.
But here are the facts: The footage of the victims shown in the ad came from a clinic bombing in 1998... , years after Roberts had left government service, and the case Roberts argued in 1991 had nothing to do with clinic bombings, but whether or not the federal Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 could be used to prosecute pro-life protestors for trespassing ..., not bombings.
The ugliness of the ad by the NAACP showing a black being drug to death in Texas and associating it with George W. Bush a candidate for U.S. PRESIDENT raises its ugly head. The NAACP soon found that the PUBLIC cared. There was an outrage and the ad was killed.
What can we do about it? We can express our outrage by letting the advertisers know that we are outraged by calling and writing them. DEMAND the ad be killed. Cancel subscriptions, and refuse to watch or listen to their stations : THAT'S MONEY - more than the ad pays.
To members of Congress let them know that "Borking Judge ROBERTS" doesn't pay.

"If it pays, it plays"
Just out: NARAL Falsely Accuses Supreme Court Nominee Roberts. Attack ad says he supported an abortion-clinic bomber and excused violence. In fact, Roberts called clinic bombers “criminals” who should be prosecuted fully.
Judge John Roberts is brilliant and the most qualified nominee in years. Yet, the attack squads who were ready to spend millions on smearing ANY nominee are digging and twisting the truth. First it was the pro bono work, required by the law firm where he worked, to help a gay lawsuit lawyer. Now its a twisted ad which NARL knowingly prints material that it knows is misleading.
We have a saying in radio, "If it pays, it plays." These are desperate stations that will allow anything on their stations. They have no credibility. Neither does NARAL; but accusing John Roberts of favoring abortion clinic bombing is beyond the pale.

Judicial activism...
Judicial activism has harmed our country by overstepping its authority. The country has a Congress to represent the will of the people. Judges have not allowed the divisive issues to be aired out in the Congress.
Row v Wade, same-sex marriage, etc are issues for the legislative bodies in their representative authority. The Supreme Court does not make law, they "decide cases brought before them according to the rule of law." Where are the activist Republican judges "making law"?
It is high time for the High Court to get back to judging. If Row v Wade is overturned, let the Congress decide its fate like it should have done in the first place. The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our government have specific functions. When one becomes out of balance, it is the duty of the other two, and the voters to bring them back into balance.
The will of the people is pointed in the direction of fair and balanced from all three branches. Let's hope and pray that our officials are listening. Executive - execute, Legislative - legislate, Judicial - Judge, don't confuse your office by overstepping your bounds.

"He jests at scars..."
Much has been written about the wounds received from a supposed friend. These hurt the most. "To bite the hand that feeds you," comes to mind. Such is the case of a lawyer, Walter Smith, Jr.
Lawyers are often instructed to assist other lawyers in their law firm without consideration of their personal beliefs. They are required to practice "moot court" to help a law firm prepare.
The big "Exposure" in the LA Times and NY Times was to show the open minded and compassionate side of Supreme Court nominee Judge John Roberts; for a minority group we're sure.The chief source of the story is this guy Walter Smith who worked at Roberts' law firm 10 years ago but is now with a liberal activist group called D C Appleseed.
The media is not reporting that Walter Smith, who is quoted in LA Times and NY Times as building up Roberts as gung-ho on the Colorado case, is closely allied with People for the American Way(Ralph Neas) and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (Wade Henderson)
Note three factual things.
1. These stories are from 1995-1996 and dealt with a PFLAG (Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) case against Pat Robertson and CBN.
2. The main attorney on the case was Walter Smith, Jr. (the same man who was in the LA Times story.)
3. I have verified that JUDGE ROBERTS DID NOT HAVE ANY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS CASE.
We will be all ears to hear the truth come out in the nonpartisan Senate hearing. Wouldn't it be a laugh if the PFLAG came out in support of the lawyer that helped them? Cheer for Brutus?
I think not. They came not to praise Judge Roberts; but to bury him. They jest.

Terrorists Beware the Brits
According to a Washington Times article Tony Blair is angry and is not going to take hate speech anymore. One eyed or two eyed mullahs who preach, teach, hate will be deported. He further proposes closing the mosques where the hatred was preached, and baring entry into his country of any Muslim radicals.
Web sites and bookshops that promote hatred and violence would be closed. Suspected terrorists would be held without charges for three months instead of the present 14 day limit. It is past time to boot the Muslims who do not share our way of life and take advantage of our good nature was the gist of his remarks. We in the U.S. of A. say: BRAVO BRITS!
They do not have a BCLU(British Civil Liberties Union) to my knowledge. Up until now the Brits were against Tony Blair's fight against GLOBAL terrorists warfare. Bombs in London have changed a few minds. Even one Muslim of the Islamic Society of Britain has denounced the terrorists as "lunatics" on the BBC.
We salute Tony Blair and say,"The Yankes are coming," but we do have the ACLU and a MSM that choose to see this quest for world domination as something we Yankes brought on ourselves. Our way of life and good nature in the West is not acceptable to radical Islam. They believe, like the Communists, that they must kill us before they can install their utopia.
Terrorists beware of Tony Blair and George W. Bush. There will NEVER be appeasement for cutthroat Muslim terrorists. You are hearing from law abiding Muslims now. You have seen our resolve and our willingness to track you down and bring you to justice. Let FREEDOM ring or pay the price. Your Allah should have told you by now that there are more freedom lovers in the world who are willing to fight for their freedom than hatemongers like you. The terror you bring about by killing women and children last for a moment - we have an ENDURING FREEDOM.

"Life is real!...
"Former First Lady Nancy Reagan praised Mr. Frist for his new position, but stem cell research advocates ignore Michael Reagan's opposition, as well as that of his father, Ronald Reagan, who said in 1983, "My administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning." So writes Cal Thomas of The Washington Times.
"life is real! Life is earnst!
And the grave is not its goal."--- Longfellow, A Psalm of Life
Stem cell research is a good thing as I think most would agree. The use of human embryos for the research is not nessary. Frozen human embroys are being used to enable infertile women to become mothers. Eighty plus such children were at the White House with President Bush. Human embroys are children - human life - and human "Life is real!"
''When you see the faces of our children, it drives the passion," said Doni Brinkman, a 32-year-old Phoenix woman who trolled the halls of Congress yesterday with her 4-year-old son, Tanner, who wore a T-shirt proclaiming, ''This embryo was not discarded." (Read) By Nina J. Easton, Globe Staff May 24, 2005 , Boston.com News.
Not too long ago young people had a saying, "Get Real!"

Frozen human embroys are being used to enable infertile women to become mothers. Eighty plus such children were at the White House with President Bush. Human embroys are children - human life - and human "Life is real!"
''When you see the faces of our children, it drives the passion," said Doni Brinkman, a 32-year-old Phoenix woman who trolled the halls of Congress yesterday with her 4-year-old son, Tanner, who wore a T-shirt proclaiming, ''This embryo was not discarded."

Not too long ago young people had a saying, "Get Real!"

"All things in Moderation...
The ex-first lady has decided she is a MODERATE. She is reported to have discovered this startling fact following the last national election. Many in the press have known this for a long time, the New York Times, Newsweek, etc. Yet, there are some who linger to endorse her.
One such is DeRoy Murdock, who has been keeping score. It's those pest Senate votes that keep popping up like a popup on the computer. Well... his computer at least. In "The Journal Gazette he writes, ... "The American Conservative Union gave Clinton a zero for her 2004 Senate votes. ... For her 2004 Senate votes, the National Taxpayers Union gave Clinton an 11 percent rating -- an F.
There are some moderate Democrats; but the liberal leadership keep them on a short string. In fact, Did we hear correctly? "House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi may punish Democrats who supported CAFTA? The Wall Street Journal says in an editorial that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi "is contemplating revenge against the 15 Democrats who had the nerve to vote for CAFTA. Rep. Pelosi "called a caucus gripe session in the wake of last Wednesday's vote, and an article in the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call suggested that Democrats who voted yes may lose their favorite committee assignments." This segment is from the RNC.
The question remains; will the moderate Democrats ever regain their party? They trusted Bill Clinton when he labled himself a moderate to win elections. Even when they learned that he and his ambitious wife were flaming liberals, to win elections, they continued to play along. That mistake has cost them dearly.
The plan is : move to the center to get elected; then grow big government, and rule the masses as an elite liberal. It worked for Bill, it will not work for Hillary.

Bush appoints Bolton
Ambassador Bolton has his work cut out for him. The U.N. is still controlled by the "blame America first" crowd. Its a shame that they aren't elected. Of course most of them will not allow a true Democracy in their country. "We the people" might form a more perfect U.N.
In fact, as we look around the world we live in, there are men and women trying to destroy the very foundation of Democracy. Men and women, boys and girls, are dying because they will not continue to be ruled by tyrants. American men and women are dying to bring life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that we enjoy to them.
These tyrants say their people are not ready for Democracy in public. In private they say if I allow Democracy I will loose my power over the people.
The U. N. is corrupt, not because of Democracy; but for lack of it. We the people say with Lincoln, "... that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
