Figures.

I'm starting to get so sick of politics. Its disgusting. I can't take it, I get so enraged on how people can be so stupid.

[appleharvey]

Drats! They found out our Master Plan! Curses, foiled again!

[Americanwolf]

if you notice one thing though... these shrill idiotic voice of the left are getting louder.. that is true, but their numbers are getting smaller, because less and less people are willing to buy into the rhetoric... I see this as the start of the death throes of a dying party and those that have lived off the liberal teet for the longest time are scared because their nanny state is disappearing and they are afraid to face the reality of having to get off their butts and going to work .

[bboop]

Pig-slop (what I read, anyway).

[Louis Foxwell]

Creating jobs will necessitate a workforce. That is a plan worth implementing. Moving unemployed back into a city and keeping them unemployed is not a plan. This is the end of the NO plantation with its hundred thousand slaves.

[bronxboy]

they found out about the 50 year plan. elect idiotic dims, let them build sub standard levees. become so corrupt that they can't decide to evacuate and then have the hurricane machine that haliburton built used. is their no end to the idiocy of the dims?

[billybudd]

I was struck by his reference to African-Americans in New Orleans as "the minority community".

Man, you just can't win with those liberals. What is the proper term to use here?

Nothing energises the neocon true believers like a good disaster.

And of course, the liberals have been sitting on the sidelines during this whole hubbub, right? Not a peep from them, right?

[denydenydeny]

I love the two totally gratuitous conservative-attacking paragraphs at the end, which have nothing to do with anything else in the story.

[ShotgunWillie]

If the spirit of this article reflects your true opinion, then I am absolutely, unequivocally, and irrevocably sorry for you and for those who value your opinion, lest they live as examples of what our country has become.
If it does not, you would be well-advised to reiterate in such a way that your homily will be understood.

[ozzymandus]

All dem white folks be bad.

[ladyinred]

What you said, plus!

[siunevada]

"Make the entire affected area a flat-tax free-enterprise zone."

Boy, that reads funny. I thought the Brits liked commas. Flat-tax, free-enterprise zone. That's more better.

[Malesherbes]

This is the first time I've ever heard the words to one of the hymns of the Church of Scientology.

[hope]

O...M...G...

I now believe in space invaders.

[joesnuffy]

I'm all for ethnic cleansing...

Nothing like a nice hot shower...and thorough scrubbing
to make one feel like a whole person again...

[popdonnelly]

My personal opinion is that the poor, black people of New Orleans would be better off if they didn't go back. They're going back to no jobs, lousy schools, plenty of crime, and a political establishment that only wants them on election day. And for this, they get the privilege of drowning. Forget it.

[grellis]

Man, you just can't win with those liberals. What is the proper term to use here?

I think the sentence which follows your first snip answers your question:

At 67% of the population, they are the clear majority

Not necessarily liberalese. "Minority community" is, in fact, incorrect.

[SmithL]

Oh, THAT Naomi Klein.

[JoJo Gunn]

Don't kid yourself. The Blue State'rs are getting more insane by the day, and therefore more dangerous.

NEVER turn your back on them for so much as a nanosecond.
