Calling all John Galts in Georgia

[Joanne98]

We really need your help.

As you may have seen in the newspapers, radio and the intertubes, much of the state of Georgia is underwater. People have lost their homes, cars and other precious things (like children and loved ones, but I know those are not quite as important to you folks...).

But foolishly, they are looking to the Government for help.

Starting with our Governor Sonny 'rugged individualist' Perdue, they are now calling on the Government to help.

That's where we need you John Galts and teabaggers who really, really want the Government out of all our lives.

Please read on.

cynic's diary :: :: As authorities reported flood-related deaths had climbed to nine and scores of roads and portions of some highways remained closed, Gov. Sonny Perdue asked President Barack Obama to declare a federal state of emergency.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency was reviewing the request Tuesday, and Georgia’s congressional delegation contacted the White House and emergency officials, urging them to hustle.

There they go again: asking the Government to hustle. In case you did not know it, the Georgia Congressional delegation includes stalwarts such as Rep Tom Price, through whose district runs the swollen Sope Creek and the Chattahoochee rivers.

Now, here is how you can help:

Please call Rep Price and tell him to stand fast to his principles of no Government intrusions in our personal lives. Remind him of how steadfastly he shares your belief that the Government is never the answer.

Also, we are looking for some volunteers to go into Douglas County and tell the homeowners in the area that they should fix their flooded homes themseleves. After all, no one gave Midas Mulligan a helping hand when he was acquiring that wonderful place in Colorado.

Please remember to picket the fire department to remind people that they are depending on a 'Government service' to show up in boats to help them leave their flooded homes. Ideally, in a free market economy, the market should determine what it is worth to you to be saved by a boat.

Also feel free to hold seminars in the affected areas and remind folks who are taking shelter in churches that the 'Church, I think, will stand. They will need it' as Franciso D Anconia so eloquently reminded the folks in South America.

And if they decide they don't like your message and want to hurt you, save yourselves with your god given right to carry guns.

Just don't expect the Government funded cops to come to your help.

Oh, and one more thing: if you lost your home to the floods but you also are a follower of Boortz, Beck et al, do the right thing and decline all federal and state aid - like you urged your governor to decline stimulus funds.

Thank you for your kind attention.
