I’m pretty damn far to the right, but I can’t really say I agree with the email. But it does bring up one good point.

People who the liberals like to call “uneducated rednecks” often have the moral values that lead to them helping their neighbors in a natural disaster. I was on the Quebec border of NY during the ice storm of 98 and I saw this first hand working as a volunteer. Lots of small towns up there with populations \< 500 like my home town of Fort Covington. Not as bad as the flood of New Orleans, but take away power/water/food/heat for such a large area, and have the outside temp be around 25 and you’re looking at a pretty desperate situation just the same. Not the power outages you’re all used to here in WNY, but the kind that last weeks, even months for people who were way out in the sticks.

The “entitled poor liberals” on the other hand tend to feel the world is owed to them, so when a natural disaster like Katrina strikes and the authoritative forces that keep them in line are gone, they resort to an “everyone for themselves” style of anarchy. The stories of rapes in the convention center and armed gangs wandering the streets were not made up by Fox News just to grab headlines. Go read the blogs of the police, fire and medical first responders that were there to see an un-pc but truthful view of what happened.

1. Writing a letter and howling are not the same thing by any means.

2. I guess if it was rain and not snow then farmer Ted and his church group would have killed and raped people gang style in the local meeting house.  
Then they would have said where’s my money bitchez? I’ll pop a cap in yo ass if you don’t gimme a $2000 debit card. Then I am sure they would go steal TVs and stereos gangsta style.

3. Joe as usual you have totally missed the point and tried to pick out one little thing and prove it wrong.

4. Once again living below sea level in hurricane alley proves how fucking retarded the people of N.O. are.

5. If you think the low life, LAZY scum in N.O. we saw on TV is anything like the the people in North Dakota you are the fucktard.(I already know that you blame republicans for all of the problems of the world so don’t bother reminding me)

6. It is funny to see how your will to make Bush and republicans look bad has blinded you so bad that you don’t see the difference between these people.

7. Waiting for you to find a way to blame Bush for the snow storm.

Probably none because they didn’t sit on their lazy asses when the warnings came.

Edit; AND they were helping each other instead of raping, killing and looting!!!

Just because you come from an area that gets now, and you know how to handle snow, does not mean that the rest of the nation is able to cope. 44" may not seem like much, but if there is no equiptment or knowledge on how to clean up after a storm, you are fucked. royally.

my point:

I guarantee that there were heavy snow warnings, advising motorists to stay off the road, **they didn’t heed the warnings**. They got stuck in snow banks. They didn’t die because it was just a snow storm.

There were hurricane advisory warnings. People **didn’t heed them**. They died.

Why? because a hurricane/flood is scores worse than a snowstorm. It has nothing to do with how lazy people are.

please draw me a picture. i drew you one:
