We need to AIRLIFT IN THE WATER OURSELVES
Bush and his cronies aren't going to do it. They think this is a chance to "let" black people die and blame it on "Katrina".
Call ANYONE who knows someone who knows someone who might have a helicopter. Call your Senators / Congresspeople and make them demand WATER.
Boats and food and medical supplies and shelter will be worthless if people don't get clean water NOW.

9. It appears that the only chance we have to help is to pray for rain.
And a huge dark cloud to keep the sun off of them. But not too much rain, just enough to cool them off and give them a drink. Yes, we are now officially a third world country.

22. A hurricane was planned for and predicted. If it had been a dirty bomb then what kind of Homeland Security plans would have been in place?
What happened to all the HOMELAND SECURITY planning and money? Does eveyrone feel safer now than they did in 1999?
This was NOT just imcompetence. This was allowed to happen.

3. If there is any doubt --
take a look at recent photos of George Bush. He's smiling. He's relaxed. Yesterday, he got off Air Force 1 holding his dog. Smiled happily and made a few comments.
Is there any doubt? Bush loves it. He probably has a chalkboard where he tallies the deaths. Ten deaths equals 1 chalk mark.

5. I posted this earlier to another thread.
If these people die, it may cause social unrest in other cities. Riots. Think back to the sixties, Watts, Detroit, etc.
A perfect excuse to declare martial law all over the US, and/or institute draconian totalitarian laws (that just happened to be written up as long ago as 4 years ago) stripping away more of Americans' rights.

12. I believe that you have hit on their exact plan. Someone else posted earlier on the idea of why they sent the NG out of the country. It takes the military out of the control of the local authorities, and puts it under the control of the Feds.
It will not be the neighborhood guys sent out to shoot at their friends...it will be federal soldiers, from some other area who will have no compunctions about shooting at those people in the streets.
Think Tianamin Square.

What is the process to shut down the executive branch?
Just hypothetically speaking; say the dem reps happen to grow a pair and realize that for the sake of national security, congress needs to remove the executive branch of the government from power, and start running the government themselves, how would they do that? Could senators order the military to secure the White House?

6. only way i can see is if we pressure congress soooo hard that they begin impeachment proceedings along with impeaching the evil one, we can impeach everyone at every level. I don't think people realize the situation we are in. We are FU***d. They are even talking about not even rebuilding new orleans. those poor people down there have nothing and they won't get them in there to save them. What is going on in the world.

7. Maybe
But that would require a Coup d'état.
Between the lines, the Constitution "requires" that the President be of sound mind and moral temperament and not be protected by his lackeys. That doesn't appear to be the case today.
The Senate can't order the military to do anything. That's the job of the President.
The only legal method for wresting control of the Executive branch would be for Congress to impeach the President, and for the Senate to vote to convict and remove him. And do the same thing for each Presidential supporter in the line of succession.
It would be a nightmare itself.
The best thing we could do would be to kick out enough Republican Senators and Representatives next November to give the Democrats complete control of the Legislature, and then hold on until 2008.
[Yeah! That's the "best" thing.]

If I was President I would fly airforce 1 and parachute supplies in.
I know it might not reach everyone but it's at least a start.
Wow, sounds familiar. Terri Schiavo, anyone?
DU is so over the top that sometimes I think it is a giant spoof site put on by some ingenius conservative with a devilish sense of humor. It is almost beyond words.
moonbat bump!
This is how the far left is responding to Katrina.
Too late, moonbats!
ON KATRINA |
Just a matter of time!!!
Bush and his cronies aren't going to do it. They think this is a chance to "let" black people die and blame it on "Katrina"."
It IS hard to believe people seriously believe this stuff. They couldn't be more wrong.
Here's another post from DU where one of their long time posters suggests that they try to gather the evidence they need to prove that Bush/Cheney/Halliburton created and steered Katrina towards New Orleans to get bad news off the front page. In other words, they have commandeered control of the entire planet's weather mechanism, and the only thing they can think to do with this awesome power is to try to influence our nation's news cycle. It is not parody:

Don't respond w/o your TINFOIL on - "Katrina" = "another 911 for bush" ?
I think this disaster is tooo coincidental.
Everything going on was "negative for bush and for POWER" :
* Iraq is a nightmare -- the draft constitution rejected by Sunni's with potential "civil war" as a result.
* The US economy in the shitter (BS job numbers and inflation rising)
* The Housing bubble aboutr to burst with consumers extended on home equity loans -- last few months retail shopping slowing
* Oil continued to increase and people having to spend less on consumables.
* The US "economic - housing - oil induced - poor planning by govt BUBBLE" was coming home to roost.
* NOT to mention the Plame investigation and Rove "fingerprints"
What do we get :
-------------------
A "perfectly targeted devistating hurricane" at a city "below sea level which controls 25% of US energy production"
For those of you that don't know -- our Military has been working with "controlling the weather" for sometime. How HAARP works and it creates "depression's and steering" don't ask me. I know hurricanes require warm Gulf waters (August/Sept you have that).
And now:
---------
7x24 news on the hurricane -- forgetting all of the above.
I don't trust TPTB and I think more is coming that all "our woes" will now be blamed on Katrina"
IF there were anyway to find out increased "weather making activity" that steered this towards New Orleans and others I would love to know.
TPTB would do "anything" do advance thier agenda -- and the CNN "situation room" was created "just in time" -- what a "co-inkydink"
Did I say wow?
Assuming they didn't abort them to begin with...

Do you think the black people in New Orleans are being punished?
by that spiteful little dick-tater for the actions of the Congressional Black caucus in Washington who have made his life uncomfortable in recent months?
Is this payback?

3. The reality
This government, doesn't give a **** about the people, least of all Black people. Moreover it's not like the Dems were pushing for anything good before this thing happened. If they cared they would have made sure things were prepared too, or at least put pressure on to make it happen. Instead they're opportunistically tagging it to Bush when they're all responsible for this horror, even if Bush is primarily responsible.

2. They are being punished for being poor and black I believe. We dropped soldiers into Afghanistan where they conducted searches in some of the roughest terrain in the world. But we can't get food to people in NO after a hurricane? So how hard are they really trying?

18. I believe Bush is intentionally dragging his feet on NO.
There's no money in helping poor people. Plus Cheney is probably trying to angle in Halliburton for rebuilding...! Why else would it take Bush this long, I'm in Fla. Jeb was here the second day, George and Jeb together the third!
Saddam may have gassed his own people, but Bush**...
...left his own people to die in NO.
We can predict with accuracy what ridiculous things they are going to say and they NEVER let us down.
Yes! It's DU- the gift that keeps on giving!
So essentially, Bush and Rove caused a Category 5 hurricane to come and wipe out New Orleans because the area didn't vote for Bush?
Wow. I never knew they were so powerful. :eyeroll:
First he had LIHOP, MIHOP, BFEE, etc. Now we have a new one:
LPDOP
It's even worse than that! Some of them, as dead showed above, suspect Bush & Rove used advanced technology to create and steer storms to desired targets. Hmmmmm? Makes you wonder why Massachusetts is still on the map.....
