Freepers: "We built the government housing in New Orleans too strong"

[Proud2BAmurkin]

To: mamabadger
Honey, the Tragedy is ongoing, I was hoping that the Government housing was completly destroyed, but we built it too strong, now we have to replace their Bigscreens, Cadillacs and deep pile carpet so they can procreate in a manner that they have been accustomed to.

1. Even Frei Republik pulls threads now and again

Let's see how long that filth stays up there. :grr: :banghead:

[Nikki Stone 1]

51. Did they ever pull this thread? (Somehow, I doubt it)

nt

[sniffa]

55. it's stiLL up

and don't miss his initiaL offering:

To: Howlin
Will the Media ask One Question for me?

How many people from the 9th ward (who made up the majority of those folks in the SuperDome, will now volunteer to help the National Guard with the Cleanup?

I will bet you the question does not get asked.
I will bet you the answer is ZERO

New Orleans is the Perfect Example of a Welfare State.
The folks in the Ninth Ward do ZERO except to Party, Vote for the people that will enhance their Welfare condition and on a Regular basis collect pretty good size Welfare Checks and just keep pumping out them babies.

I hope that at bare minimum that those folks have to do something other than just point to get their couch or TV replaced.

[wellstone dem]

62. And will those who

benefited from tax subsidies to their SUV's and to the roads they used to escape volunteer for the clean-up.

Just about all of us get welfare (tax deductions of home interest payments, corporate welfare, tax subsidized student loans, etc), where we benefit and the greater community pays. It is just that one kind of welfare, the kind "they" get that get pilloried

[raccoon]

87. RIGHT ON! nt

[Bluzmann57]

92. Here's a question for tt

in his or her closing, they say "kiss my ass." How about we change a couple of letters in one word and I "Kick your ass" instead? What a complete jack off. Usually I don't respond to crap like that, but this is just too much. I live in Iowa, on the off chance that you are reading this. In the words of your president, "bring it on."

[democratic veteran]

102. Too bigoted for Texas

That's why he's a transplant. Even Texas Republicans couldn't stomach him.

[NMMNG]

126. Isn't he the epitome of sensitivity?

Let's just compare his beloved state of Texas to the state he is disparaging so much:

Louisiana: Population in 2000 = 4,468,976. Average number of individuals receiving welfare benefits between 09/00 and 05/01 = http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/news/families.htm">26,112 , or about 0.58% of the state's population.


Texas: Population in 2000 = 20,851,820. Average number of individuals receiving welfare benefits between 09/00 and 05/01 = http://www.acf.dhhs.gov/news/families.htm">132,747 , or about 0.63% of the state's population.

Also of note is that during the time period of 09/00-05/01, the welfare rolls of Louisiana dropped by 5.3%, while those of Texas dropped by only 2.8%.

What was it TexasTransplant was saying about Louisiana being a Welfare State? It's no more one than any other--except when viewed through the eyes of a bigot.

[cat starbuck]

105. comment was there last night 8/29 but off by 8/30

...but they left TexasTransplants OTHER comment about the 9th ward, welfare, and the National Guard.

I doubt they took it off because it offend THEIR sensibilities.

I think Democratic Underground held a mirror up to their ugly souls and the sight shamed them.

Good job, DU!

[Pirate Smile]

2. That is sick!

These are the people who believe they are so much more "moral" and "Christian" then Democrats. Positively disgusting.

[FreedomAngel82]

5. Ugh

Compassionate my ass.

[Tace]

3. Seems Somebody Is Having Trouble Procreating

BTW, what's with the Latin?

Something about "no man" and "blame," as in "No man can blame me for being lazy," or somesuch. Any Latin scholars out there?

[Alcibiades]

8. NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSET

No one will provoke me with impunity

There's also:

Quietem nemo impune lacesset

Though I am peaceful, no one will attack me with impunity.

[burrowowl]

38. Nice to know some latinists

are still around. I remember I my grandmother from Mississippi getting on my case. Byrd probably has some nice Latin quotes up his sleeve. And although the Latin middle-ages, I was proud of my translation of the Dies irae: medieval man had a good sense of humor: Remember Jesus if you don't save me your death was for not...

[markbark]

60. "Byrd probably has some nice Latin quotes up his sleeve"

...because when he was in high school, everybody spoke Latin

OK, OK bad joke. I do have a great deal of respect for the Senator from West Virginia.


--MAB

[tblue37]

100. Do you know why the Romans were able to conquer the world?

Because they had a classical education.

Bada-bump.

[allalone]

123. oh man, that's cold

[Alcibiades]

118. Political theory

...is my real field. Any Latin and Greek I've learned in the pursuit of my studies has been entirely accidental.

I hate to be pedantic (OK, not really), but shouldn't that be "naught," rather than "not?"

[burrowowl]

125. Yes your are right

up late and it has been awhile that I have read some real literature (let's see 1 t in English and 2 in French?).

I suppose you have read Hannah Arendt: peppered with Greek and Latin citations.

Cheers!

[davidinalameda]

4. amazing

simply amazing

I can't understand how some people can be so hateful

I'm willing to bet that they wish some of the people in the government housing died in the hurricane as well

[ClintonTyree]

53. Yet FR is NOT considered a "hate site"..........

they must have the bar set pretty damned low for those that ARE "hate sites". Those freeptards are disgusting pieces of human filth. Not one of them is worth the "lowliest" life they take so much glee in ridiculing. Proof that there is no god. The existence of FR.

[katinmn]

75. FR has always been a hate site. But NPR and other major media

like to go to them to provide "balance" to their stories. Anytime I see them quoting Freak Pukelick again I'm calling them on it.

Hateful.

[davidinalameda]

95. Freepers aren't proof that there is no god

just proof that there is evil in this world

[Chovexani]

6. Sorry, I can't muster much anger toward freak republic tonight

Not when I've seen some statements around our own DU backyard tonight that would put Freepers to shame.

[Pirate Smile]

10. I'm glad I missed those threads.

[Nothing Without Hope]

34. Really? I've been reading threads for hours and have fortunately not seen

anything but compassion and concern yet. It's certainly in the great, great majority of posts on NO.

I'm wondering what the AVERAGE sense of freeper postings on the hurricane tragedy in the southern states is. Surely such blazing, murderous bigotry is - if you'll pardon a pun - in the minority. I'd imagine most of the bigotry there is more "civilized," though bigotry is bigotry no matter how openly it is expressed.

71. There were a few on Sunday evening that got me so disturbed I couldn't

sleep.

They were mercifully locked by Monday, but sheesh; I thought compassion was a universal progressive trait.

I guess I was so very, sadly wrong.

[Toots]

85. Yes there are Freeper Trolls here who just can't hide their "compassion"

A "true" liberal does not entertain such thoughts.

[Vektor]

7. Compassionate bunch, huh?

What a horrible, mean-spirited, hypocritical group of people. They care about human life?

Yeah, right. :eyes:

9. more "compassionate conservativism" ... the genocidal maniacs n/t

they don't give a shit about you.

36. Yes I know

That was sarcasm.

47. They're about not getting laid

and punishing anyone else who is.

13. Gee, this mamabadger could be a DU'er in disguise using the fundie tag

line for deep cover. Not that I'd know anything about that personally;)
To: TexasTransplant
Gee, glad to see you can put bitterness and prejudice aside during a time of tragedy.

15. Karma

What goes around, comes back around and it shall...

[Lindacooks]

17. Really?

Could you explain karma to me? Because I guess I really don't get it - and this is not sarcasm, I'm really interested.

Because most of the nicest people I know have had terrible lives, while the shit like the repukes now in power live in the lap of luxury. Is it supposed to be returned to you in this lifetime, or another? Does it mean peace of mind, or what?

[FreedomAngel82]

22. Karma is the idea

that whatever you put out you get back to you. If you were really mean to someone in your life then something negative will come back to you. Might not mean that someone will be mean to you like you were, but something negative. It might not happen this life but it'll happen sooner or later whether in the afterlife or your next life. That's the general concept of karma. Whatever you put out you get back. The Universe is energy. So it's best to put out positive energy and goodness.

[Heddi]

120. So wouldn't that imply, then

that the people who are stuck in the storm, or who died because of the storm somehow deserved it, whether for something they did in this life or a past one?

That's kind of heartless....

Or that a little girl that gets raped and murdered somehow deserved it because of bad behaviour a few generation ago...??

[Patchuli]

32. I believe it means

that each of us will get exactly what we deserve, maybe not in this life, but in the afterlife. I do believe this existence on earth is temporary, a proving ground and I think if you don't make the grade, you will pay the debt. Maybe you have to do it again, in shittier circumstances. I don't know for sure but I don't think ultimately that evil gets away with it.

Call me a dreamer, I'm not the only one...

[Patchuli]

33. Oops!

Credit to the most beloved, John Lennon on the quote!

[renate]

45. my rudimentary understanding, or at least the way I choose to think of it

is that lessons we fail to learn in one life we will learn in another, much like you said.

For example, if we are cruel in one life, we learn in another life how painful it is to be on the receiving end of cruelty. If we are kind in one life, we learn in another how blessed it is to be on the receiving end of kindness.

However, karma is NOT a punishment and NOT a judgement, it is only instruction. So people who are lovely, sweet, and nice in this life are NOT being punished or judged for acts in this life, or in previous lives for that matter.

That's just my understanding of it--I haven't read one single ancient text, not even a bumper-sticker's worth. So what do I know... only that that interpretation rings a bell with me, maybe or probably not with anybody else....?

[Patchuli]

121. Our thoughts are very similiar

but if anyone does *deserve* punishment, it's *!! Look how much evil can come from just a few people. I think it's going to bite them in the ass, too.

[A HERETIC I AM]

124. Dante described Karma as the wind that blows in Purgatory

and brings all your evil back to you.

[Catherine Vincent]

16. What a sick fuck....

South Texas Transplant, we moved here from New Orleans.
I could not be Prouder of our President, G.W. Bush, there is only one other person that may have gotten my vote this last time around but Barbara Bush wasn't running.

[AspenRose]

18. Ah, well....so much for being pro-life

eom

[Spiffarino]

19. I'm glad they didn't pull it

It's how most of them think. Some just hide it better or cloak it in PC-sounding phrases, but when you get down to the core of a freeper you find most are just like this guy. Deep down, they are hateful, ugly little creatures.

[Why Syzygy]

20. "we" built

like this stupid fuck had anything to do with building?

Don't they just give you the chills?

[FreedomAngel82]

23. And is this person a resident of the area?

If not then I doubt he paid the tax's to build it.

[Old and In the Way]

21. If this person is for real, I only hope she can experience a similar

disaster first-hand. Perhaps she'll have an ephiphany. No man is an island....she just hasn't had the opportunity to be in a situation where she can regret her stupidity and arrogance.

OTOH, it could be someone who enjoys making the FR look like the extremist wacko's they are. If so, job well done.

[mrfocus]

24. A shining example of the irrational right

Their petty hatred, sociopathic behavior and abject lack of empathy are shining through brightly.

I am from a European country where similar behavior was observed in many people, um, say, about 60 years ago.

[SofaKingLiberal]

25. jaw-dropping ignorance.

But what else could you expect from a freeper.

[jsamuel]

26. heartless bigot

ungodly

I bet Jesus cries at such statements.

[LSK]

27. nothing surprises me from these ignorant assholes anymore

The worlds worst people have now formed a collective group called republicans. Too bad we have to share a country with them.

Will make her/his own dream come true with regards to him/her self. The Bush family has 5 kids? All criminals, but I guess that is okay because they are white? Fucker!!!

30. Texas Transplant forgets that his mother procreated too

she took a crap.

[PurpleChez]

59. I'm a newbie as far as these things go...

What does it mean when y'all end your heading with "n/t"? And what's going on when multiple folks "kick" a post? Sorry to be a dork...thanks for any info.

[hyphenate]

67. Welcome!

here are some of the answers for you:

n/t=no text
nm=no more
eom=end of message

These and a couple of others mean no message follows, that their response is in the post title.

"Kicking" a post means it's fallen below the first page, so people give it a little "kick" to push it back up to the top. That usually means more people will read it before it disappears again.

[maveric]

35. I know people on welfare/relief and they dont have Cadillacs or

plasma TVs. They truggle to raise their families and dont have many luxuries.
This shit is left over from Reagan's "Welfare Queen" line of shit!

[DanCa]

37. They were former embryos

I bet you if these were cells living inside vials there freepers would be down thier in the water right now scooping them out with thier bare hands and crying. Unbelivable. And these are god's favorite's I dont think so?

[roguevalley]

39. they're fuckers. I listened to Jeanne Meserve on CNN and she was

in tears. She said that there were dogs tangled in the powerlines being electricuted and they weren't even dead yet. I could WEEP! I could weep.

[Not_Giving_Up]

40. I saw that twice

And cried both times.

[ohio_liberal]

58. Ah, God

They just replayed her report a few minutes ago. It was heartbreaking.

[RoBear]

79. I don't buy their "pro-life" shit

They care about this only because the suckers buy into it and it gets them votes. Period. If they were "pro-life" they'd be against capital punishment (yes, yes, I know all the arguments) as well as against war. But the Catholic church, whore that she is, is in bed with the fundies and is taking the whole country for a ride. (BTW, I grew up Catholic and went to a Catholic college, and I KNOW where they're coming from!)

[Selteri]

41. Comments like that make me wonder if maybe

the Hurricane should have hit their internet connection.

[NVMojo]

42. the sick slimes. They are probably what my mamma used to call

"white trash" pieces of doodoo that look down their noses at others to feel better about their own low standing. Sick feckers.

[Darth_Kitten]

64. Yup

Couldn't agree more. :)

[AgadorSparticus]

43. ugh, god, that's just NASTY!!!

:grr:

[Nothing Without Hope]

44. IS that terrible comment still there? Has it been removed from their

discussion board? If not, that's a tacit acceptance by the site administrators and we should pass the world. Conyers might be interested.

[blueeyedpupil]

48. I'm still amazed at being shocked

I am still amazed that i can be shocked by the things these people will say for all to see.

I guess i should be used to it by now, but I'm not. Don't think i ever will be.

[TheWatcher]

49. All I can say for Texas Transplant is

PRAY, to whatever false God you believe in.....

PRAY EVERY SINGLE DAY......

That our paths never cross.

One of my dear Friends is still down there. She got stuck down there and was unable to leave. When I read things like this......

It is unbelievable the lack of humanity these people display.

They are less than human.

Complete trash.

Texas Transplant, you are garbage.

You need to be disposed of.

[Nikki Stone 1]

50. This statement in this context illustrates EXACTLY the neocon "ethic"

This is who they are folks. No matter how much they lie about their "compassion", we should never forget this statement at this time.

[NoSheep]

52. That confirms my theory. Repukes are either greedy, stupid or just plain

hateful.

[JI7]

54. and these are supposed to be the party of morals and values ?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

56. That Response Is So Cliched It Almost Seems Apocryphal

nt

[Zhade]

57. Fuck those fascist monsters.

I hope they all get cancer, the lousy nazis!

[zbdent]

61. So, now, the lefties are procreating?

I thought we were decimating ourselves with abortion . . .

[Darth_Kitten]

63. I guess TexasTransplant had to leave New Orleans....

because perhaps one of his young sisters wanted him to take a paternity test? :evilgrin:

He doesn't sound like a normal person. ;)

These losers need to say things like this. In their world, it makes them feel like men.

[EstimatedProphet]

111. No, it was his daughter that wanted him to take a paternity test n/t

[Darth_Kitten]

114. LOL

My mistake. :sarcasm: ;)

[kerryin2004]

65. Govt. housing is where alot of the troops come from..

So much for supporting the troops..In addition is referring to Cadillacs not indicative of someone who is racist? Typical repuke type comment though, living in Texas I hear them all the time mask their aby saying one thing like this, but you always know what it implies.. You learn here to just smile and think to yourself what a dumb ignorant ass that person is that made the comment.

[AngryOldDem]

66. That is over the top, even for Freepers

Why do I get the uneasy feeling that these bastards are rooting for all hell to break loose in the Superdome?

Karma is a bitch, people. Remember that.

[mzmolly]

68. That's the "pro-life" spirit!

And THAT is how most of them so called pro-lifers think.

It's interesting when one reveals what lies beneath the bullshit.

[PA Democrat]

69. Hate to break the news to these sick bastards

but everyone who has federally subsidized flood insurance will have their homes rebuilt with the help of the American taxpayers. If we as a country cannot reach out and help our fellow citizens rebuild their lives at a time like this, then we are as a nation a disgusting lot.

[katinmn]

70. TexasTransplant epitomizes the ignorance of the Rethug mindset

Anyone still clinging to hope that the Republican Party can be reformed should keep that post in mind.

[ellie]

72. This shouldn't be surprising.

Repukes are a bunch of racist scum. Everytime I pass anti-choicers I ask them what about the babies being killed in Iraq? They always have nothing to say because those babies are brown, not white. They don't want to reveal their racism, but we all know better.

[johnlal]

73. If they don't WANT our money...

If the red states don't want all that money that the blue states have been sending down to them, maybe they can take care of their own poor.

[blondeatlast]

74. Of course, Texas Transplant would not have enrolled for FEDERALLY

funded flood insurance, now would he/she?

Neeeeeeevvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrr... (to be read absolutely soaked with sarcasm and as snarkily as you can muster).

[Old Vet]

77. I have been checking out the freepers on/off for 2 days..........

I have never,NEVER, read such ugly comments about NO. Hundreds of freepers are of the opinion they were warned to leave, And what they got,THEY deserved. SICK MOTHERF&&ERS.

[Politicub]

78. Ghouls

That is all they are. I wandered over to the free republic cess pool yesterday to see what they were saying about the storm. I wasn't surprised to see them whining about welfare then. I don't get them. They are a hateful, spiteful bunch.

Their stupidity seems to be exacerbated as of late because they are losing the war of ideas on the war because of a single grieving mother. Their rent-a-mob for Crawford isn't working.

[northzax]

80. I keep hearing about the National Guard

anyone know how much of the LA nat'l guard is in Iraq?

[katinmn]

83. I just saw on a feed from a NO TV station that 4,000 were "in the

process" of being mobilized in Memphis and that they would begin patrolling the streets in New Orleans.

I heard earlier that LA had 1500 NG that were not in Iraq.

Thanks, *!:sarcasm:

[Nothing Without Hope]

112. The National Guard "would begin patrolling the streets in NO"!!!?

Ooooh, to protect somebody - not clear who - from all those "looters" trying to find food and water?

DU poster Newshoud56 put it well:

The poster who speculated Homeland Security (FEMA) is trying to suppress the story is probably correct: note how the National Weather Service guy just interviewed on CNN weaseled out of answering all questions about the levee failure. Depending upon the depth to which the lake drains, this could destroy the city, something that would reflect very badly on Bush given (1) his seeming indifference, (2) his slashing of N.O.'s relief and levee-maintenance budgets and (3) severe depletion of the National Guard by Iraq.

OUR National Guard should have been there helping from the start, saving desperate people, distributing water and food, maybe even helping to shore up the levees, who knows. But the unspeakable POS in the WH - oh, soory, he's on vacation and enjoying eating cake at fundraisers - has a better use for these thousands of Guards with families in the devastated areas - being cannon fodder in his immoral war of choice on the other side of the world. Now THEY are the ones feeling frantic fear about their people, quite the reverse of the usual. I can't begin to imagine how those Guards in Iraq with family in MS, LA and AL are coping with the uncerainty, the images of devastation, the ridiculous chirpy "we dodged the bullet" reporters.

[kissmygrits]

81. Heartless Bastards

Notice the pictures of the two women carrying food from a destroyed convenience store and the heartless commits about them being looters. I will tell you one thing, I bet these Freepers would take food from that store to feed their families. It is one thing to "steal" food for your family in a situation like this and another to walk off with a TV set. If I where in that situation and did not have a supply of food set in I know I would go into that store to get food for my family. There is not one person who would not go to extremes to protect their families, even if it met "stealing" food to help in their survival. I pray that these bastards never find themselves in that situation. The food in that store is more than likely a total write off. Let it go to feeding the hungry.

[MojoXN]

82. I hope that this asshole...

Has to live in the very buildings that he or she so readily disparages. He/she'd see that people on welfare don't have big screen T.V's, or Cadillacs. And as for fornicating, well, I'm not on welfare, and I like to fuck as often as possible! But, according to freeps, that's O.K., because I'm not on welfare. Wait a minute, what am I saying? Those assholes think that sex is DIRTY, it's a SIN, it makes God cry.

O.K. rant off.

86. We have new section 8 housing by our neighborhood, and

thank goodness it is beautiful and well built. It doesn't look like sec 8, and since it is close to an elementary school, I hope there will be some nice families living there. A family of two making a hair over minimum wage each will qualify to live there.

If the govt (especially here in TX) doesn't want an educated workforce that makes a decent living, there is going to be a need for more sec 8 housing.

[Deep13]

88. Taxpayers demand crappy constructions!

Tired of efficiency and quality control in state projects, taxpayers have demanded that their money be wasted on structures that will need to be redone in six months. "We are sick of getting what we pay for!" a spokesman for a tax reform group said. Tenants of public housing agree. "Where are the rats and drug dealers?" an Iraqi war widow and mother of three demanded. Another tenant inquired ruefully, "THIS was made by the lowest bidder?!" as he inspected the heat efficient windows and steel construction.

[Coexist]

89. As a survivor of many hurricanes...

#1 - what pisses me off is not when someone gets their goods replaced by FEMA when they lost them and can't afford insurance. It is when people with $400,000 vacation homes get them rebuilt ON THE BEACH in areas that are LIKELY to get them destroyed again with another good storm. They cannot get insurance, no one will insure them, but they rebuild them anyway - with FEMA money. So they can vacation in the manner they are accustomed to.

#2 - after Hugo - in St. Thomas, I went down to Benetton, where I worked part-time, to help clean up. I had to walk, the roads were mostly blocked (a long way down the mountain!) When I got there, people were looting - not just taking necessities -but TRYING THINGS ON and asking people's opinion about size and color. They were SHOPPING, LEISURELY. I just stood there with my mouth open - until a woman said to me, "if you work here, you better go home - there's nothing but trouble here for you." I also saw a local walking up the mountain wearing a fur coat. What a person needs with a fur coat in St. Thomas I don't know. The groceries were the most protected thing on the island (and the laundromat - it was a week before they let people in that weren't family). If a person is looting food after a natural disaster - good for them - their family comes first - if they are looting goods not necessary for survival - they are right up there with price-gougers in my book. But they shouldn't be "extra" punished - let it fit the crime, as always.

#3 - emergencies bring out the best and the worst in people. I truly believe that there is enough selflessness shown in this world to counteract the selfishness.

#4 - Freepers are mean-spirited assholes.

Sorry kiddo, maybe next time. Maybe next time the natural disaster will know better and destroy only the poor leaving your sanitized little suburban abode safe and sound for your SUV, guns, tasteful berber carpet, plasma tv, Toby Keith Cd's, and tiny American flag collection so you can procreate in the lifeless, boring, passionless manner you've grown accustomed to.

In all seriousness, "honey," I hope to God you never have to go through anything as devastating as what those people in NO are going through now. I hope you never wonder where your next meal is coming from, if you have a home to go home to, or how you're going to get diapers for your baby. See, that might mean you'd have to adjust your narrow minded worldview ever so slightly, and that would be hard work--I know how much you freep types hate that!

Please, fuck off, and take your sanctimonious pseudo-aristocratic attitude and shove it up your tight republican ass!

[sinkingfeeling]

94. May these fools, who pattern themselves on the idiot Bush and

call themselves 'compassionate', have to suffer through devasting poverty. I ask this in the name of all humanity.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

96. How much do you want to bet that Texas Transplant is

just one paycheck away from having to live in government housing him/herself?

[Deep13]

108. Funny you should mention it.

Seems like a lot of these social welfare critics are on the dole themselves in one way or another. A friend of mine gets disability from the VA every month for an auto accident he suffered leaving the base for the weekend. That would not be covered by worker's comp if he was a civilian. Plus the Feds paid his tuition and all the medical expenses resulting from the crash. He is the first one to bitch about the welfare state.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

113. Sure, my mother had an acquaintance who was

1) retired from the Navy after 20 years, and therefore eligible for a Navy pension

2) Was still in her early forties and so went to work for a private corporation that gave her a corporate pension AND Social Security.

So here she was, triple dipping in her retirement and absolutely vicious about "poor people on welfare."

She was well-connected in the California Republican Party, and after Reagan was elected, she called my mother and said gleefully, "We're gonna fix those welfare cheats. Are they ever going to holler."

Nice person, huh? My mother was executor of her aunt's estate. (The aunt was a dear, not so her hardcore Republican niece.)

[melissinha]

97. How unbelievably UnChristian

Just goes to show you were the "hearts" of Freeperville truly lie.

YOu know what I hope their little anti-privacy, anti-affirmative action candidate Roberts ends up.... I can jsut hope that the inquiry into the nomination will truly reveal the federalist/neo-con agenda for what it really is.

You know what... I BELIEVE in affirmative action, I believe that the poor minorities in a city like New Orleans DESERVE to be helped, but its not us democrats that want to keep them in subsidized housing we want to much MORE for them.

Their selfishishness NEVER ceases to amaze me.

[FighttheFuture]

98. We've built the Internet too well, now these assholes have a soapbox...

have to take the good with the bad!

[OnionPatch]

99. And these "freepers" are supposed to be "God's People"?

I spent a few years of my childhood in public housing after our (Republican) father deserted us. FYI Mr. Freeper, my mother worked full time in a factory but couldn't afford normal housing on the slave wages she received. We didn't have a big screen TV but a 15 year-old 19" and no cable. I remember wearing a pair of shoes for so long that my big toes started growing out the holes in the end. I remember hearing my mother crying at night when she thought we were asleep because she couldn't afford new shoes for us. We drove a junker and canned tuna was a staple. Oh yeah, there was no carpeting on the floors, just some worn-out linoleum. But you know what? I remember feeling happily surprised that my country cared about me and my family enough to help us through those hard times. My deep love for my country started in that ghetto because I felt my fellow Americans cared. Thank God I never heard this kind of mean-spirited rhetoric or I may have formed a whole different attitude during that time and my not have turned out to be the productive and successful person I am now.

[melissinha]

101. Well said

Thank you.

I have known people who went on Welfare for 2 months, and that helped them bounce back... Thats what Welfare is for, people who have come upon hard times like your mother who WAS working. Sure you hear about the women who have never had a job who have been on Welfare since adulthood, but how dare ANYONE assume that all people on government assistance are like that.

I, in particular, think that many poor people are disadvantaged and the crock the freepers spew about "your bootstraps" and "ownership society" is literally impossible for many people to even fathom.

[Rose Siding]

103. They are calling these women LOOTERS???

Where the HELL else do they think they should go to get food to stay ALIVE??? Hearts of STONE

[ikojo]

127. If these women were white they would not be

called looters. Instead the media would say they are doing the best they can in a horrible situation. There would be an NBC news story about how a brave (white) woman waded through polluted water to get the only available food for her (white, blonde haired blue eyed "all American") infant. The double standard infuriates me!

Surely there is looting in Metarie (home of David Duke of KKK infamy). We don't hear about it because Metarie is white and a suburb.

What would happen to that food anyway? It'd be thrown away. Better that it can FEED someone than to be pitched.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

104. Freeper?

I am new to this, so my naive question is why are the right-wingers called freepers? Because of the march to freedom bs...

[Beaverhausen]

106. Free Republic is a right wing website

and they call themselves freepers.

that is where the post in the opening post came from.

[NoAmericanTaliban]

110. Thanks

It is always good to know what the 'American Taliban' is thinking. If I can stomach it I will watch the O'Reilly spin factor, faux news, & sometimes listen on the radio to Neil Boortz & 'The baby jesus' - gag

Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer...

[NightOwwl]

116. I will never understand how they reconcile their hate ...

and total lack of compassion for those less fortunate, with the preachings of Jesus.

Has anyone ever heard an explanation?

[Time for change]

128. The explanation is hypocrasy

When someone is seriously lacking in a virtuous trait (like compassion) they sometimes try to make up for it by praising an idol that symbolizes that trait (like Jesus) and then putting down anyone who doesn't do the same.

[Kurovski]

117. Will the New York Times cover that kind of comment from Free republic

the way they covered a DUer's tinfoil hat post about The Asian Tsunami?

Anyone care to send it to the New York Times? I'm sure there will be more posts of similar tone to send to "The Gray Lady".

I don't have the stomach for the research.

What is it with Right-Wingers and their desire to attack and destroy those with the least power? I can only think of what Jesus said about what our treatment of "the least amoung us" reveals about our character, our spirit and humanity.

Little school-yard bullies all "grown up". Frustrated, sick fucks. Chickenhawks all.

[littleraf]

119. This is Right-Wing (Non)Thinking At It's Finest

The people of the 9th ward had to seek shelter in the Superdome precisely because they DON'T have cars, and many of the people didn't know that Katrina was coming their way beacuse they don't have a TV at all, much less a bigscreen. But I suppose conservatives think that poverty is only a figment of Democrats' imaginations. Seeing as how the levees have broken and both Lake Ponchtratrain and the Mississippi are now flooding the whole city of New Orleans everyone's homes (government built or not) will soon be underwater. Wonder if this redneck sack of shit (or the other Freepers) will be still be making jokes then? Probably so, these people have no decency.

[Fire Walk With Me]

122. "They"? I thought that we were all Americans under one Constitution.

How silly of me.

Welcome to the world of subtle media messages. Does anyone see a problem with this reporting?

135. Police looted too...

Policeman in New Orleans broke into Home Depot to get supplies! This shows you have really desparate the situation really is. This is beyond the comprehension of the so-called, " true-patriot, Christian" Bush supporters.

Best regards,
-from a REAL Christian

[erpowers]

133. Never Stops Amazing Me

I know that my title has been used before, but it is my true feeling. It never ceases to amaze me how mean and horrible the Freepers are. You would think with all the damage done they would not be asking for more, but here they are asking for more damage. It just surprises and saddens me that they do not have any saddness or compassion for anyone at any time. I would think they would be sad that people have lost their homes and other things. Instead they are worried about cadillacs that these people never had. It is sad the the Freepers will not pick up a book and realize that Reagan was lying when he talked about welfare queens and cadillacs. Finally, it is somewhat ironic that the man(Reagan) who made such a big fuss about welfare queens driving cadillacs was a welfare queens being driven in a limo who made American pay for his $350,000 apartment.

[nitamd]

134. Bush sets the tone.

As an African-American, it saddens me to see poor black folks looting in the streets. But the reality is that the comments by the so-called "true patriots" and "born-Again Christians" are to be expected. No one should be shocked. This bigotry against black folks and poor black folks in particular is as American as apple pie and baseball. And we have president running the country who sets the tone for this kind of nonsense.

The other reality and irony is that the police in New Orleans were probably going to have to resort to openning the store fronts anyway to distribute food and diapers anyway. The silly posters never stop to think that not only are the people foolish and desparate but the food would spoil anyway.

[Kurovski]

139. True.

Racism is no where near done with in America. It hides underground, disguises and lies about itself, and then openly shows its ugly, smirking face at times such as this.

Times when one would think blind hatred would be dissolved by the common bond of humanity.

[amandae]

137. How disgusting

Nothing like a cold, bigoted, freeper to a situation even lower ...

:grr:

[charmsicle]

138. Also, it's not like there was anyone there to uh, take their money

Check them through. So they could actually pay. I mean, they're not stealing televisions, people, they're stealing FOOD. So they can eat. Not only that, everything's insured. And by the time the store owners get back, everything's going to be spoiled or ruined.

I swear to God, if I see one more fat black person "looting" on my television screen, I'm going to hurl something. Possibly my dinner. No poor white people in that part of Louisiana huh? That's not what I saw last time I was down there. Oh, but they're "finding" not looting.

Racial politics rears it's ugly head once again.
