I would use an M-16; the ammo's easier to find.
All we managed to do was defer Judgement Day, not avoid it.
You think the response to Katrina demonstrates America's nobility? I'd say all the hurricane did was wash away the thin whitewash of civilization and expose a rotting core beneath.
The response from the government and the American people has been and will continue to be outstanding.
You're buying the media spin.
I'm beginning to wonder that if maybe in the long run if this isn't the best thing to ever happen to Louisiana. IF THESE PEOPLE NEVER COME BACK, the criminals for sure, AND the poor hopefully can go to a better place where there is a better work ethic, rebuild their lives, get a better education than what NO had to offer, get jobs and prosper
Let's hope everything works out for the best. Some good can come of every tragedy.
a man who raped a child was killed by the crowds?
Thats about the best news I've heard all day
Some of them, sure. But not all. Far, far from all ...
You're buying the media spin.
Even when the stories are eyewitness reports posted here on FR? Even when the stories are posted by bloggers who just managed to escape the indifference, the incompetence, and the devasation? No, I think you're living in denial.
I hate to say it, IronJack, but you make a good point. The whole nation has been intimidated by the PC crowd. Maybe the scenes coming from NOLA will make many naive people wake up and see just what our welfare state has bred. Its a breeder class thats useless for anything productive and it just keeps replicating itself generation after generation.
Prior to the so-called "Great Society", these same people were, for the most part, hard working, religious people and were law abiding helpful Citizens even though they were segregated.
LBJ was the worst President of the 20th Century.
Life is no tougher these days than it was then. But when FDR decided that the Great Depression was something he could legislate away, he created a philosophy that has become almost a cultural axiom: the government should DO something.
We could have stopped it in 1933. But we didn't. And that cancer took hold and grew until it became Watts and Detroit and Philadelphia and Atlanta and every other city that has a decayed core of chronic parasites feeding on its vitality. Even now, the blame-shifting and apologias are starting. No one will rise to shut up Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. The "authorities" will all quiver and quake when these charlatans strut onto the stage. And they'll humbly shuffle their feet and smile apologetically when the hucksters dump all the blame on them. Then the good Revs will jump in their Learjets and scoot off to some new venue where the lights are brighter.
Meanwhile, the goons they've bred all these years abandon all pretense of civilization and prowl the sodden, deserted streets like packs of wolves.
