The Worst in People
I was hoping it wouldn't happen, but it sure didn't take long for the conspiracy theorists and hatemongers that make up the far left of the Democratic party and the zenophobic bigoted righteous far right came out of the woodwork in respect to Katrina. There are obviously plenty of areas for debate in the coming months, once we have stabilized the situation, to determine if the lack of funding FEMA had anything to do with the disaster, those discussions are proper and do not look good for the president at this time. However, those are not the discussions I'm speaking about. Let's take a gander at some of the discussions going on today... (warning, some quoted language is a bit harsh)
First, we make a stop at www.democraticunderground.com. Here's a great couple of comments that have popped up:
BTW, does anyone else think it's suspicious that the levees didn't break until AFTER the hurricane passed and it was clear the storm surge was not going to swamp the city. It would probably only take a couple of sticks of dynamite to get those things flowing. Seems like someone wanted Bush to have another pile of debris to climb on top of.
The hurricane had passed and the city was safe from catastrophe. Than overnight the levies broke.
I didn't think of deliberate destruction of the levee, but that's sure possible. No one was there to see.
I HAVE been wondering why Bush looks so perky and happy - like he's very PLEASED about the hurricane. It seems like more than his usual sociopathic cluenessness. Is there somethiing about the oil infrastructure, the neighborhoods that were destroyed (surely not strongholds of GOP support), the probable availabllity of cheap land now that so much has been destroyed. Or perhaps just that the cost of oil has soared so high?
He's a sociopath who is incapable of empathy, yes, but doesn't he seem really, really tickled to you? Like he's gotten something he thought he might not be able to pull off?
And more:
What the fuck, Food & Water is needed. Maybe they want to shoot who is left
This is fucking GENOCIDE. They cannot do this. They are MURDERING 80,000+ People.
Ok, I see, it is the lack of media coverage of all they are doing which is causing people in NO to die!!!!!
And here's a bit from www.repentamerica.com blaming the destruction of New Orleans as a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah:
"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that had its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. From the devastation may a city full of righteousness emerge," he continued.
New Orleans is also known for its Mardi Gras parties where thousands of drunken men revel in the streets to exchange plastic jewelry for drunken women to expose their breasts. This annual event sparked the creation of the "Girls Gone Wild" video series.
"We must help and pray for those ravaged by this disaster, but let us not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long," Marcavage said. "May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God," Marcavage concluded.
"[God] sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:45)
And other things overheard by some:
"Let's just hope that most of the dead are illegals."
"It looks like we made the public housing in New Orleans too good, they are still standing."
"Did you see that picture of prisoners being led over a bridge? Why the fuck are we saving them? We can't use them for labor in rebuilding the city because the PC fucks will play the race card, but at least we could have saved the cost of feeding them for God knows how long."
Seriously folks, these are some of the people who make up this great land. From commenting like this or taking to the streets and looting the ravaged area, even shooting on helicopters trying to remove people from the Superdome, they are the dregs of society.
Some of these people vote! Doesn't that scare you in the least ... ?
