In your profile you call yourself a "Christian". Celebrating the destruction of land and people's livelihoods doesn't sound very Christian to me. Jerk.
Sorry, that was kind of morbid of me. You’ll have to forgive me if I seem a little jaded these days.
I not only call myself a Christian, I am a Christian. And because I am a Christian I gave sacrificially, in both time and money, to relief efforts after Katrina. For my troubles, I got to watch the people I was helping call my fellow Americans racist; donations were spat on as, “not enough”, people sat on porches demanding aid be brought to them, and the president was blamed for a hurricane, of all things, and damaged politically in a time of war. Forgive me if my compassion has worn a little thin.
I guarantee that, if this slick comes anywhere near N.O., they will scream and bawl like its Katrina II. They won’t let this crisis go to waste. They will use it to justify billions more in aid to the city. The thought of bailing those malcontents out again…well, that was the source of my joke.
Livelihoods?...chuckle. You’ll find as many “hoods” as “livelihoods” in that city. Speaking of livelihoods, because what the libs have done to our economy, I just lost my job of 11 years last week. Lost my health insurance too. Hopefully not my home in the near future. And not one of those people in NO would lift a finger to help a Christian, conservative like me. They won’t need to, because I’m willing to get off my butt, work 3 jobs, and do what it takes to help myself. And in the meantime, I’ll still help anyone out who needs it.
So…you might cut me a little slack. You questioned my faith and called me a jerk. I’m pretty sure that offended me more than my joke offended you.
Sorry for the rant, fellow freeper. You and New Orleans were the closest things nearby when I needed to vent.
I can’t help it that the liberal media only focuses on lower-income blacks as victims of Katrina. FYI, 10’s of thousands of hard-working middle and upper-class white people’s homes were also destroyed in New Orleans.
Those most likely to suffer first from this oil spill live outside N.O. near the mouth of the river. They are mostly white fishermen who have been providing 1/2 the nation’s seafood for many generations. They are not and never have been, from the “hood”.
Sorry about your job, but you’re not the only one. Why do you suppose I now have the time to play on the computer?
