This is out of The Night of The Living Dead.
If you cannot spell it, you most likely do not understand it. :-)
No, instead he will get reelected!
This morning they reported the the Astrodome is full and there are places in San Antonio and other locations that are being used. What do you mean nothing being done? It does seem painfully slow to those of us who are not there, not in charge, not making it happen but we don't really know all the logistics. I have not seen leadership from their gov., senator, mayor...it is like they are stuck in a mire and don't know what to say. The gov. said yesterday that the word riot is not one she would use but she didn't know what word would describe what is happening in NO. Well. Don't worry about descriptives and show some strength and decisiveness. This is not an easy situation and it does call for strength and guidance. It makes me really question what these "leaders" will do with all that money that will be directed toward the region. Just pray that relief groups bypass the beaurocracies and get it to those in need.
The water is contaminated with chemicals etc. that boiling doesn't touch. If they get some rain . . . .
Prepare to be flamed. You will be called a non reliant socialist girly man.
The government has no defense for the lack of aid and bodies on the scene. The lack of security can be laid at the mayor and governors feet, initially at least.
You know, these "leaders" like Sharpton and Jackson require too many creature comforts that are not available in NO right now and certainly a microphone and cameras. They remind me of the communist leaders who espoused equality for all,but for them, living with perks and comforts and privileges that the common man could never have. They are a little more equal than the masses.
No mercy. Shoot the predators dead like the demons they are.
This is just getting truly disturbing now. Murders, rapes, beatings, etc. What does raping someone have to do with survival?
Corner the thugs, remove the innocent, retreat the law abiding helpful LE and then napalm the city. In that order.
One thought I just had: This is a pedophiles dream come true. Steal a few kids and everyone just thinks they died in the storm. I have to go puke now.
I had to explain to a friend of mine who did the same thing my his neighbors in Morris Park hate him and why his house was destroyed and why he is left with a non-paying Sec tion 8 tenant who refuses to leave.
He is a typical greedy as hell wannabe real estate tycoon who quickly realized its not as easy as Carlton Sheets makes it seem.
Some Freepers are idiots in their dogmatic proclamations. Its like when some of them want to kill the lawyers. Oh that's right, until they get smashed by a drunk driver, get wrongfully accused of a crime, need to shelter millions of dollars from taxes, etc etc, but those things of course will not happen to them.
Its sometimes a bit comical.
"No, it's not. What you are seeing in New Orleans is compelling evidence of the fact that poverty is less of an economic condition than a disordered state of mind. Granted -- there are a lot of folks trapped down there in New Orleans who are too old or infirm to fend for themselves. What is most disturbing, however, is the large number of people who are reasonably young and healthy enough to contribute greatly to the relief effort but who completely lack any sense of survival skills, initiative, etc. They've been denuded of these things through their life-long existence in an urban, nanny-state environment where it never took much effort to survive.
Just go back and read through all of the breaking stories on this topic over the last couple of days. If I read one more quote from a 40-something year old man who is bitching and complaing that "they're not doing nothing for us" (without ever really having a clear grip on who "they" is), I think I'm going to vomit.'
Might be a good time to grab some trash bags and teach the young ones how to keep pick up after themselves also. Oh well . . .
Yes, but the National Guard is experienced and paid for delivering supplies in a war zone.
Unarmed? The troops on the ground right now are apparently unarmed. The NO police have been charged with guarding them but police are turning in their badges. That's a thread on FR.
Sandbar. What about the mayor, Governor and senator from LA and NO? It is their state and city they needed to take charge and lead the way but THEY are the ones that failed. Why are you blaming the feds (read Bush). Why didn't the Gov and Mayor evacuate the city? This isn't the first time NO had hurricane. The mayor and Gov should have this down by now, but it's Bushes fault. By the way why aren't we seeing these problems in Boloxi? I will tell you why -- Hailey Barbor.
crocadiles maybe? Wolves are smarter than to go to NO.
So you been to Detroit ehhh.
So have I, worked social services their for 5 years. There are real people in Detroit, then there are the others.
Public education at work?
I don't really care. I'll settle for leaders of any race, religion, or ethnic background who know that robbery and rape are wrong and will give the "shoot to kill" orders in order to protect innocent lives.
My point was that they have FED our black population so much vitemization rhetoric, kept them impoverished in their MINDS with low expectations, and zero accountability, and often placed a "the government owes me" feeling that we see the results.
NO MORAL CODE IS EVIDENT.
And because jesse jackson, the worlds best poverty pimp, is their VOICE, then it would be GREAT for him to be visible down there, megaphone intact, perhaps they would listen to their leader... a fellow black who has the power to be heard.
