Cons show their real feelings about Katrina victims. *outrage alert*

[mistertrickster]

My local newspaper, the Wichita Eagle, has a blog that allows posts from readers, URL at bottom of post.

Here are some from right-wingers I wanted to "share." If this doesn't show the kind of classist, fascist, racist plicks were fighting against, I don't know what . . .

These posts have been snipped to get to the relevent parts, but otherwise have not been altered in any way.

Why is it the government's job to bail out people who were too stupid to listen to the government's weather service that told them for several days before the storm to get to high ground. I thought you people believed in survival of the fittest. Why waste time and money on the least fit?

Shame on the government for wasting resources on them when it could be spending our tax money on education, instead.

Rape and murder under the dome. Shots fired at rescue personnel. Looting on camera and not just food and water. No wonder the rescue efforts are a bit slow! And all I hear on TV from the rescued is complaints. The food wasn’t hot; a nurse didn’t heed my demands for a sick man, nobody buried that dead man -- -- etc. It is Bushs fault!
Bah, typical democrat attitude.

The people in New Orleans that are left are there because they made a conscious decision to stay. It has nothing to do with poverty or Bush. They are stupid and they are paying the price.

Why didn't these people leave?
They are stupid.
They had time.

Did you see the interviews of these people two days before the storm hit? They are stupid.

Did you see the interviews of these people one day before the storm hit? They are stupid.

The state government is corrupt. It has been corrupt for over 75 years. It has been democrat for over 75 years. The people that put up with them are stupid.

They had time to leave. They are stupid.

The mayor is corrupt. New Orleans has one of the most corrupt city governments in the nation. It has been democrat for over 75 years. The people that keep electing corrupt mayors are stupid.
The people are stupid.

It is criminal to stay in the path of that storm if you have kids.
If you believe that Bush is at fault for institutional stupidity in New Orleans you are stupid too.

I doubt that a single complainer did anything meaningful beforehand to prepare for the storm or to help a neighbor, nor has done a thing to help since the hurricane struck.

As for the poor who have no car, it seems obvious that the distance one would have to walk or bicycle to get away from the flooding and heaviest damage is less than a day's effort. But are these people looting for walking shoes and bicycles and tents? Hardly.

The well-practiced helplessness of the victim class always gives them a ready excuse when a reporter is looking for one. However, part of the law of evolution - the survival of the fittest - is having the gumption to work hard enough to have options when things go bad. The victim class has no options, just excuses and a well-honed ability for spreading blame. So sometimes they die because of it.

Maybe it's not their fault. Probably it's largely the fault of those who coddle and nurture the victim class.

Yes the poorest got left behind when 80% of the people fled the coast -- the poorest workers, the poorest planners, the poorest thinkers. And now we're spending billions to save their sorry butts. Why?

We need to get the state police down to the Oklahoma border to keep the busloads of coastal flotsam from coming to Kansas to live off our welfare for the rest of their lives.

All of the people could have gotten out of NO. The fact of the matter is most of the people there now didn't or wouldn't. Don't say they couldn't leave. There were options for everyone to leave town before the storm hit.

1. And now we're spending billions to save their sorry butts

But it is okay to spend billions on shrubs vacation. Do they actually think that he pays for it?

[mistertrickster]

He's earned a vacation because he's rich . . . disgusting, isn't it? nt

[hatrack]

2. Fuck these people. Just fuck them.

I am not wishing for an F-5 tornado to flatten their city.

No, far from it. But bear in mind that, when it comes, and given the meteorology of the Great Plains, it's just a matter of time, none of them had to live in an area subject to catastrophic seasonal storms. No one will be to blame for their choice to be in Wichita when their hour comes round at last.

Assholes.

6. All of a sudden they discover the "law of evolution" again.

Surprising with that clientèle.

how the FUCK do you get out?

9. Hope these idiots remember this when the next tornado hits them.

Let them clutch their rosary beads and kiss their sorry asses goodbye.

10. There IS a small island of sanity in Wichita.

We meet almost daily at the Riverside Perk, much to the chagrin of the owner, I expect. More disrespect for Pukes and * you've never seen in your life! It's really therapeutic.

[mistertrickster]

12. REALLY? I'm off today. Where is Riverside Perk and what time do

you meet?

Fellow Wichitan,

11. This is the epitome of conservatism.

These opinions are broadly held, in fact. It is a short step from this to the concentration camps and gas chambers. It's "social Darwinism" and supremacy of profits over people. It's about "looking out for number one" and stomping on the face of one's neighbor. It's about cheering for the lions devouring the Christians. It's about the mob of Germans burning "decadent books." It is sheer barbarism.

[mistertrickster]

13. Well said! nt

14. Very short step: it's already a concentration camp. n/t
