Might as well be. Makes me embarrassed to be a UMd alumnus.
Does anybody blame Katrina for any of these deaths? Oh, I know, it's George Bush's fault and Karl Rove's fault and the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy's fault and Rich Republicans' fault, etc. I just haven't heard too many people throw Katrina into the mix.
If we are going to go into debt, I want to spend the borrowed money on killing terror-scum, not handing out more welfare to ungrateful citizens.
Wait til they change their name from Terrapins to Pansies. It's discriminatory to use animals for mascots now. ;o)
The left have proven to me time and time again that they HATE our country!
Quite to the contrary, as anyone with the slightest. dimmest knowledge of Louisiana politics would know, Democrat politicians in that state pay VERY close attention to the "underclass." Mayor Nagin, Governor Blanco, and Senator Landrieu would never have gotten anywhere near elective office without actively courting the "underclass" in New Orleans.
Oh, yes, Hurricane Katrina has exposed something bad and serious about American government. It shows that the combination of incompetent politicians pandering to incompetent voters produces public officials who will allow people to die -- because they are too incompetent to prevent that.
My article on the same subject is below. It is far more honest, and grounded in the facts.

I just read your piece. Good work.
Well, I certainly try but too many times they are sheep in wolves clothing and they avoid getting burned with more lies.
Thank you. Glad you liked it.

OPENING PRAYER - KANSAS STATE SENATE
"Heavenly Father, We come before you today to ask your forgiveness
and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe to
those who call evil good," but that is exactly what we have done. We h ave
lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We confess that: We
have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.
"We have exploited the poor and called it the Lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building
self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called
it freedom of speech.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and
called it enlightenment.
"Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from
every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been
sent to direct us to the center of your will and to openly ask these things
in the name of your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen."
Cowboy......Up!!!!!!!! guttersnipes.......
I hope they still say that prayer in Kansas!
Exactly! :o)
Gotta run, marmar, thanks for stopping by!!
Enjoy your weekend!
I wish I knew him personally. He's one of my heroes in this world. ;)
I must agree. I live just outside of Toronto and I'm ashamed to say that this rag is the most successful daily paper. Although it may speak for many in that city, please know that all Canadians don't believe this tripe.
Further to the Vancouver idea. The author doesn't have to go quite that far. There seems to be multiple gang related shooting incidents inside Toronto every single weekend ever since Toronto elected a mega-socialist mayor.
