It's not on my say-so, and had you done some research you would know that.
The feds (FEMA & all federal monies, the disaster response, the reconstruction, all of the programs related to them, all post-disaster policies, for medical needs, hospitals, schools, etc.) gave out money in a near equal share to Louisiana as it gave to Mississippi, in spite of the fact that Louisiana had 75% of the damage done by Katrina and Mississippi had 23%.
http://www
Louisiana was asking that the relief dollars flow in proportion to the damage.
Mississippi has gotten a disproportionate amount of relief dollars simply because at the time of Katrina, Republicans controlled the White House and Congress, and a Republican was governor of Mississippi and a Democrat was governor of Louisiana. What happened with Republicans in power was a political response, and not a humanitarian response.
Nothing's changed with Democrats in power.

Nobody is talking about the government stopping Glenn Beck, but that doesn't mean we can't question what he's up to.
Today wasn't a religious holiday. It was the anniversary of a political event. Of course Beck was there "to do politics", or Beck's version of politics. The real story was that civil rights leaders, who should have organized and planned events for the day, were caught with their pants down. They've gotten fat and lazy, complacent, especially with Obama, a black president, in the White House. Out of one side of their mouths, they talk about how rac!sm runs rampant in the nation (it does), and out of the other side of their mouth, they go silent on this administration's lethargy on civil rights abuses. Because it's a Democratic administration.
I can't fault Republicans for seizing the opportunity that civil rights leaders left by planning nothing for this weekend. I can, however, lament the Democratic Party for always being a day late and a dollar short. Democratic leadership in this country have failed We The People, terribly.

The constitution guarantees freedom OF religion, NOT freedom FROM religion.
==========
This is precisely what the Constitution has to say on the subject:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The simplest reading is that the government isn't to make one religion "the religion of the land", or prevent anyone from worshipping as he or she wishes, or speaking up as he or she chooses, or prevent people from gathering for any purpose so long as it's non-violent, or to complain to the government about the government.
Religion and politics are not to mix, for the good of both.
