WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

The Flood We Won't Forget

Columbia, South Carolina - October 6, 2015

 

We've got a mess here in the Palmetto State.  They're saying a flood like this comes only once in a thousand years.  And that's too soon.  I will have more to say about it, including positive notes about rescue workers, law enforcement, FEMA, volunteers, and more.

 

Now it's after 2 a.m. and I need sleep.  But before I turn off the light again—thankful for having electricity— I need to get something off my chest, calm down enough to turn off the anger noises in my head.  

 

Remember Hurricane Sandy,  the devastation in New Jersey?  Of course you do.  Do you remember how members of South Carolina's Congressional Delegation voted on funding disaster relief for victims there?  

 

 

Fortunately, these Republican men do NOT reflect the generous spirit of most South Carolinians.  These men flap their jaws about "values" but were unwilling to follow the most basic of core values, the Golden Rule.  

 

It's a good thing our Federal Government doesn't forget its mission is to serve all citizens fairly.  Federal employees wasted no time showing up for South Carolina. Thank you, Mr. President,  FEMA, members of the military.   We're damn lucky you don't believe in Karma.
