"You think fallen nature is something new over the last 30 years"
Uh...Do you actually read before you post or do you just post half-cocked?
My point was twofold. One: humanity is fallen. Two: Public Policy over the last 30 years has served to weaken the moral/religious restraints that restrain fallen nature.
Big Charity - is that the hospital?
Fred Barnes just now:
New Orleans, "a lawless city"
I'm not going to bash him, but I was dismayed to hear that there is going to be a gas shortage for several weeks. I don't have any gas, I can't go to work, and I have maybe a week's supply of food. I have plenty of money to buy what I need, but no way to go and get it. I'm now worried about losing my job because I can't get to work. There is no public transportation here. I filled up on Sunday, but because of the storm and power outage, I've used up nearly a tank of gas trying to find ice, food, and get to & from work. My situation isn't nearly as bad as those who lost everything in the storm, but I can't help anyone else if I'm stuck at home with no food and no transportation.
I don't know but the hospital takeover rumors sound like a bunch of bullsh*t to me. Who the Hell wants to take over a hospital when there are big screen TV's and jewlery to be liberated. Not to mention banks.
This is a disaster of epic proportions.And, no branch of government can step up to a podium and tell you the truth.That is, this is something even your beloved governments are gonna struggle big-time with.They're humans, not gods.Sometimes you just have to fend for yourself.
If we can get the innocents out of town, it will be a whole lot better. There is a nightly curfew.
Like I said, it's "Mogadishu on the Mississippi"
Thanks
drugs? food? water?
"To: Willie Green
If they swamp the choppers, then what? I have the feeling a riot is imminent when transportation gets there."
No Guard CO worthy of his rank will send helos into a hot LZ w/o gunshop support.
The whole premise is wrong. He didn't cut back any money. Bill Clinton did not sign for the improvements & money requested by the Army Corp of Engineers & LA to make them. Source: Somewhere on a post I read.
"Receiving tons and tons of rumors of hospital takeovers. Sent SWAT teams 2 and three times and found nothing!"
too many people reading free republic "scanner" reports.
I concur. The situation is ridiculous, regardless of who dropped the ball.
FEMA has known for a long time that a direct hit on NO would cause these problems, but they are addressing the situation as if it is a complete surprise.
They are going to form, if they have not already, militias a la Mogadishu.
They need to be crushed.
Without assigning blame, don't you think it would help if the Governor got off the stick and declared martial law so our active duty military could actually go into the city to help law enforcement?
That Fred Barnes is quick like a bunny.
VERY WELL SAID.
Secular, Marxist, idiotbot humanism is deadly to the max.
The idiotic idea that man is nothing but a rat, a pigeon, a raddish or a rock.
means
if I want what you have--and I have the gun--too bad for you. Values, morals, RIGHT/WRONG goes immediately out the window.
And her unroyal lowness, her hideous heinous--Shrillery Antoinette de Fosterizer de Machiavelli de Marx de Pol Pot de Stalin de Mao de Sade LOVES THAT perspective--all the easier to do her ruthless power mongering.
