Who are the pricks starting fires in an enclosed facility? These people needed help, like yesterday.

[beyond the sea]

The Great Society, the Age of Dependency, The Welfare Society ,........... speaks.

Enjoy it, liberals. Hope you're proud.

[Izzy Dunne]

"They've been teasing us with buses for four days,"

Gee, maybe they should get all the nuses lined up, first, eh?

Imagine the scene if they showed up with four buses and announced first come-first serve.

[Rodney King]

Remember: Never, EVER, let the government heard you into any kind of enclosed encampment of facility. You are better off on your own.

"We must rebuild New Orleans, the city that gave us jazz, and music, and multiculturalism."

[syriacus]

Why didn't New Orleans city housing codes require lifeboats so residents could escape danger? Lots of cities require fire escapes.

Why didn't Dan Rather do a report on New Orleans's precarious position in these recent years of increased hurricane activity?

New Orleans Geography

The levee system that has been built along the river, coupled with the canal system to keep the interior of the city dry, prevent the land from being replenished by the annual spring floods. As a result, the land will continue to sink until eventually there will be nothing to stop the waters of the Gulf to rush back upon the fragile land.

You can't fool Mother Nature

[Rodney King]

"I don't treat my dog like that," 47-year-old Daniel Edwards said as he pointed at the woman in the wheelchair. "I buried my dog."

Then shut up and bury this lady, assuming that her family wants her buried in the median alongside the highway.

[Mulch]

"We must rebuild New Orleans, the city that gave us jazz, and music, and multiculturalism."

I was going to donate a few buck but after hearing that I think I'll go buy a pizza instead.

[NotchJohnson]

Would it be possible to walk/wad/swim to some kind of dry land? A big task yes, but is it possible?

[auto power]

"You can do everything for other countries but you can't do nothing for your own people. You can go overseas with the military but you can't get them down here."

.....what an ungrateful Ba$tard!

[nmh]

"That brought the number of troops dedicated to the effort to more than 28,000, in what may be the biggest military response to a natural disaster in U.S. history. "

NO isn't exactly a city of law and order to begin with ... I'm not surprised this is the behavior in a crisis. Liberals and thugs lack discipline.

[dljordan]

"He's right. Our priorities have been wrong in this country. We need to cut back on all foreign aid (I say eliminate it entirely), get rid of the UN and stop the war in Iraq. The hell with the Iraqis. I'm quite sure they would not help us if the situation were reversed."

Better get your asbestos undies on.

[nmh]

#2 Yup ... ... ... .

[Texas_Conservative2]

I can barely watch the coverage anymore after seeing that MSNBC coverage from the convention center...

1000's of people waiting on help that hasn't come. They went to the shelter like they were told... and no one is there no food, no water, no authorities.

Babies are dying.

They are laying the bodies against the walls.

It's horrible.

God help them all.

[benjaminjjones]

Dittos

Rush is all over this right now.

[oyez]

"It's like they're punishing us." (and to all the other complainers)

You were told that the was cat 4 hurricane barreling down on the city and all the emergency systems would fail. Everyone must evacuate. (I heard the Mayor say this) So take your bitching somewhere else.

[nmh]

"Why didn't Dan Rather do a report on New Orleans's precarious position in these recent years of increased hurricane activity?"

Do you really think Dan Rather cared about anyone but himself? LOL! Liberals ONLY care about themselves and when they feign concern it is ONLY at YOUR expense and politically motivated.

[Homer1]

How come the buses aren't moving and food and water aren't being distributed?

[nmh]

"Then shut up and bury this lady, assuming that her family wants her buried in the median alongside the highway."

I see the LIVING as being a PRIORITY in a chaotic situation with scarce resources to help the living.
