New Orleans Sent An Imbecile To Congress In November
There’s simply no other way to describe Cedric Richmond today.
Too strong? Fine. You explain this…
“For far too long, we’ve let companies dictate their decisions based on a bottom line, what they’re going to give back to their shareholders, their boards of directors. That’s not what this country was founded on,” Richmond, who represents the 2nd Congressional District, told representatives of the Metal Trades Department of the AFL-CIO during a press conference Friday in New Orleans.
“This country was founded on some very basic principles, which is loving our neighbor, helping our fellow man, our fellow woman, and making this country a better place.”
Life? Liberty? Pursuit of happiness? No. Love your neighbor and give him whatever he wants.
Where did this man go to school?
We hate the idea that Avondale Shipyards might close. We’d like to see the Obama administration embrace an aggressive offshore energy production strategy which involves expanding the shallow-water drilling opportunities in areas outside of just the western Gulf of Mexico; such a strategy would likely increase the demand for shipbuilding and perhaps it wouldn’t be necessary just to make military ships there. We’d also like to see the Obama administration consider the necessity of maintaining naval superiority and the essential nature of shipbuilding to such a goal, which would probably make for suitable demand to keep Avondale afloat.
But in the absence of those conditions, Northrup-Grumman has to do what it has to do. The company is beholden to its stockholders. And if it can’t sell enough ships to justify keeping Avondale open, then we’re just going to have to wait until the shipyard is sold to another company who can satisfy a business model by operating it. That’s called life. It doesn’t always work out like we’d like it to.
Obviously, Richmond doesn’t understand this stuff. It doesn’t appear he’s capable of understanding this stuff. He’s capable of bilking the taxpayers out of money and rumbling in barrooms when he loses at pool, but not a whole lot else. And if he’s ever read the Declaration of Independence, it doesn’t look like he’s capable of understanding it.
One word…duh! And they get what they deserve.

Come now. Since when does one have to be intelligent to be a member of congress, especially a Democrat?

Imbecile?….you were far TOO kind, but who said this guy EVER went to school? Probably part of that 95% dropout rate in one of our finest NOLA colleges that uses the same style of logic to justify keeping the school in operation.
For the record, Richmond is far better educated than most of the posters on this website.
Certainly that’s true. We don’t have anyone here whose law license was put on ice by the state supreme court.
Richmond might be an educated dunce. That’s arguable. It’s difficult to argue he’s anything but a dunce given his statements and history.
Oh, but only if all Marxist ideologues were imbeciles. Sad to say…they ain’t; that’s what makes them existential dangers. Oh well…Earth 2011.
Agree with the sentiments, but this country was not founded on the Declaration of Independence. It was the Constitution.
That’s highly arguable, since the Declaration of Independence founded
America as a nation. The Constitution founded the Republic we currently
operate under.
WOW. He must not have read what he wrote, huh? Loving neighbors, helping others, etc have has lead to many a divorce and a multitude of civil law suits which halp the attorney, and only the attorney.
100 years ago, we had none of the laws that are on the books today. We were the richest and strongest country and we owed no one anything. Individual greed and being spoiled, plus ignorance is what has put us where today.
A few minutes ago I got a call from a research concern claiming they were calling on behalf of a conservative congress-person. They were doing reasearch and asked if I was against the healthcare issue and if I wanted to lower taxes. They need my help, i. e., opinion and wanted me to know that they are fighting for my rights. All I have to do is send the congressman $100.00 to help fight this war, as they called it. I reallly thought the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and Amendments already gave me those rights. I also believed that this congressional person who is in the senate was already being paid to monitor the Constitution to guarantee that my rights were not violated. So, why am I asked to send money to someone who is already being paid with citizens’ money to do a job that they supposedly are already being paid for?? Any sane answers. I know, no one cares, but I just thought that since this article was posted, someone might have some kind of comments or personal thoughts.
Thanks for allowing me to post.

“This country was founded on some very basic principles, which is loving our neighbor, helping our fellow man, our fellow woman, and making this country a better place.” — Cedric Richmond
“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” — Preamble to the Constitution
I can find little fault with either of these statements.
You have some pretty slim
The real problem is that there are a lot of like minded ( having a mind might be stretching it but they get the benefit of the doubt ) citizens who voted to send him to Washington to represent them. When will it be clear that our first domestic priority should be to educate everyone to think and to provide them with a coherent understanding of the principles of the formation of the USA.
Can you say political affirmative action? Sure, I knew you could…
Mr. Richmond, this country was founded on telling King George to take his despotism and shove it up his Royal Rectum.
I ran in the 2nd District against Cedric as a conservative fiscal responsible independent candidate. I had a solid platform of moral values, pro-family, pro-life, pro-Constitution, a balanced budget, freedom of the individual to start a business without big government interference. I also had with a clean record of integrity and public service as a minister for 32 years. I owned a family business that was debt free and a pastor of a church that was also debt free when I left. To only receive 1800 votes this tells me that district 2 has the leader that they wanted and deserve. So in 2012 do they still want the same then they will vote the same way again. If not they will vote different.
