Normally I agree with Mike on
these types of things. We are both moderate conservatives although he doesn't always admit it. However I think the whole New Orleans thing is being blown out of proportion. I am going to sound very insensitive now, so those of you who don't already know that I'm an ASSHOLE brace yourselves. As Mike states in his previous post,
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness the government is not responsible for your happiness.
I do feel for the people of NO that could not get out before the hurricane it for reasons of age or handicap. I do not feel for those who ignored the Mandatory Evacuation and decided to stay. As a matter of fact I think these assholes should be the last on the list to be rescued, or simply shot on site by the people who are "expected" to do the rescuing. Just because you are ignorant is not an excuse to have have someone risk their own life to save yours. You are ultimately responsible for your own survival. These are things the liberal jerk-offs are afraid to say, or don't want to hear.
America was founded by strong people who did not want a government to run their lives. Now everyone in this country wants the government to take care of them. FUCK YOU, take care of yourself. If you can't afford gas, don't drive. If you are suck in NO, walk out. Don't just sit there waiting for Uncle Sam to save you. Save yourself. YOU CAN DO IT.
Contrary to Mike's post, it is necessary to have a plan in a massive relief effort, and no we cannot just send in heavily armed troops to shoot our own people. (They may not be able to pull the trigger and it would be a political nighmare if we slaughtered Americans on American soil. I don't care who they are.)
This post has gotten much longer than I originally intended so I'm going to wrap it up. What I really mean to say here is the government is not here to save you.... They are here to keep the country running and safe from foreign invaders. If you need money, food or water find it. Don't loot stores for TV's when you have no electricity, take food and water. If you see an animal, kill it and eat it.
If you are thirsty, find some wood, a pot or bowl, start a fire and boil the water that is surrounding you for 5 mins, allow it to cool, then drink. If you think the government is not acting fast enough, fill up your car with food and water and drive to NO. Pick up 3 people, feed them and drive them out of town... Repeat until exhausted. Until you actually act yourself, stop complaining!
