Cedar Rapids and New Orleans When N.O. flooded, it was a racist plan to wipe out black people. Now that white people are getting flooded out, we need to investigate .. who? I heard a dimwit on CNN yesterday say that this reminded him of New Orleans. How? Outside of being flooded, there is no looting, no people wandering the streets looking for meanness, no grocery carts being shoved through the water carrying stolen big screen TVs, no people sitting on the tops of their houses waiting on the government to come and get them, no police abandoning their posts, no Iowans ######## how the government and George Bush is failing them. There is not one damn thing, other than water, that is similar to New Orleans. The streets in Des Moines are empty. People left when they were told to evacuate. They didn't whine, ##### or blame the government for the broken levees. They did what responsible people do in a crisis. The actions of the people of Des Moines only makes the actions of the people of New Orleans look worse.

I agree with you Duke. I felt bad for the people of Cedar Rapids, but at the same time I kept watching the news hoping I would see pukey gold trucks floating in front of the camera or that they would show the CRST offices underwater. I drove for them last year for a short time and would have loved to see those trucks floating away with management caught inside of them somehow. Oh one can dream. __________________ "What I'd like to do is go down in history as the President who made Americans believe in themselves again." - Ronald Reagan

Just another example of the media distracting folks with "wedge issues" to deflect the realities of the situation. How much emphasis is the media placing on the economic impact of all this? How did our stock market close yesterday? Has this media EVER told you the Government can/does manipulate our weather? Why are you not enraged over that? Yet, our media wants us to argue over black/white issues. And we still do. "Christian Conservatives" are some of the most hated people in the world right now. Have you ever ask yourself "why and how"? __________________ Matthew 7:15-20

And now back to your regular scheduled program. __________________ Neoconservatism is the political philosophy that emerged in rejection of liberalism and the New Left counter-culture of the 1960s. As a term, neoconservative first was used derisively by democrat socialist Michael Harrington to identify a group of people (who called themselves liberal) as newly conservative ex-liberals. The term stuck, because it is accurate and because neoconservatives accepted that they are conservative.

What's a few million dollars worth of shoes, clothing, electronics to a high roller like you? Funny how the photo caption says: "Electric power is out, phone service is spotty and the supply of food and clean drinking water is dwindling.", and the photo shows knuckle-heads looting clothing. Where ARE our priorities?

Are you asserting that the government caused Hurricane Katrina and/or the recent flooding? And even if they did how does that change what is seen in Roadkill's posted photo or the truth in Duke's post? You claim that conservative Christians are some of the most hated people in the world. In the world I know - the world of decent hard-working Americans from both parties - bleeding-heart, anti-American ultra liberals with conspiracy theories are among the most hated. Ever ask yourself "why and how" about that? __________________ "What I'd like to do is go down in history as the President who made Americans believe in themselves again." - Ronald Reagan Last edited by shookup; 06.21.2008 at 08.20 AM..
