stop whining and complaining about people whining and complaining. i'd say they had more right to whine and complain than you do.

So now that this is going smooth, when can we expect applause to the Federal Govt. for making this easy and taking precautions? The buses are being used, ole Ray is not f'n asleep at the wheel this time and people seem to have some damn common sense to get the fuck outta dodge unlike last time when they thought it was cute.
I'll hit F5 and wait....;)

Did you see video of that town in Cuba that was evacuated long before Gustav came through? The people were literally all walking away...no buses or nothing. Everyone was gone by the time it rolled through (at least from that town).

heh. i'm supposed to applaud them for doing their job and not fucking it up this time? i suppose i'll applaud when they build a decent levee system. that would actually be an accomplishment.

but like i said before. complete failure on a federal, state and local level (and they failed for decades: corruption, welfare, etc.). they all deserve blame. a lot of regular folk too.

Yep, you should applaud them if it goes well. Even though that's what is suppose to happen, it should be acknowledged when it does.

this is really easy for you to say as you sit in the comfort of your middle class midwestern home. don't let their crying out for help ever dampen your day or concern you in the least. try to have some empathy for once. you could be like mccain and at least try to act like you have some compassion.

That is not the point of this thread. The point of the thread is that the Republicans supposedly hate black people, and that is the reason Katrina was so damaging. In actuality, it was the unprepared local governments that were the problem, and miscommunication. If the government hated black people then we wouldn't have the national guard there before the storm this time around.

The lessons were learned from Katrina, and the government at the local level and national level has greatly improved their preparedness. But the Bush administration will not get credit for caring for black people this time around.

I bet it doesn't even hit New Orleans.

What if you have no where to walk to? It's not like these people can afford hotels, unless there are shelters set up.. I see your point though, but we seem to forget, a lot of these people don't even have TVs.

there are buses and there are shelters for those who leave, like the govt is telling them they need to.

whining and complaining about what?

People losing family members?

People losing all of their possessions?

People losing their houses?

People not being able to get out and losing their lives because of it?

People getting out and coming back to nothing but wet land at the place where their house used to be?

Yea, those fucking whiners and complainers. Shit, don't they know the storm is going to jack up the gas prices for the rest of us?! Fuck them and their houses that are floating down the street. We got real problems.

It honestly never occurred to me that the emotions expressed by the victims of Katrina could be considered condemnable. I mean, wtf, that's normal thinking, right?!?

right!!! they knew exactly what was coming thier way right??

what is laughable to me is that the conservatives on here still blame the poor ones that had no cars, or tvs or any way of knowing how bad it would be, let alone getting out. they paid with their lives while we bicker about tax cuts for the wealthy and the corporations.

What a great thread from a patriotic, god loving, American.
