My quick response to a flame-bait email...feel free to improve my rhetoric

I can't believe this crap is still being passed around.


FWD: OUCH!!!

If you agree please pass it on If you don't just delete it.

Well, instead of deleting it, because I do not agree with it, I'll respond in Blue and pass it on to all my "liberal" friends who can laugh along with me at what a base and ignorant bigot you are.

For the people of New Orleans... First we would like to say, Sorry for
your loss.

With that said, Lets go through a few hurricane rules: (Unlike an
earthquake, we know it's coming)

Here you show your complete and utter ignorance already. Of course we know earthquakes are coming. Years in advance. Much like Hurricanes we just don't know precisely when and where they will strike. But please, continue.... I'll be polite for now.


#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that... Get the hell out. Don't
blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said
anything, I can see the argument. They said get out... if you didn't,
it's your fault, not theirs. (We don't want to hear it, even if you
don't have a car, you can get out.)

Ummm...Okay...I'll walk with my elderly grandmother (did'ja happen to notice how many old, frail people were left there?) and my screaming toddler through a raging Hurricane. Thanks for being sooooo sympathetic.


#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and nonperishable. If
you didn't do this, it's not the government's fault you're starving.

Living paycheck to paycheck means I sometimes have to choose between feeding my kids and paying the heating bill. Where does this magical thing called extra money for "stocking up" come from anyway? The "stocking up" fairy? I think she only works for able-bodied rich folks.


#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some.
(Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them
alone.)

Okay, thanks for the tip.


#2b. If the local store is too looted of food or water, leave your
neighbor's TV and stereo alone. (See # 2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't give you the right to take their stuff... it's theirs, not yours.

Yeah, I want to lug around big heavy equipment that I can't possibly take with me when I'm hungry and thirsty...Wow, are you an idiot? Wait, that's pretty self-evident...sorry...continue.


#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then
complain no one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some
dumbass who didn't leave when told to do so.

Read the news you increasingly ignorant dumbass. There were NO CONFIRMED instances of anyone shooting at rescuers. Those reports were retracted by just about every major news outlet.....well, except for the one that has no journalistic integrity. (you know the one I mean)


#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your
belongings are probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone does want them, Let them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (It's New Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them)

Ummm....Okay?


#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a
sports stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you? You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy .

That means that every person in the path of any possible future Hurricane should move. This pretty much leaves all our ports and coastline empty and ripe for "terra-ist" to sneak into the country. It also means that anyone living near an earthquake zone should move. Or anyone living near where there may be flooding, or in Tornado country or well...even as stupid as you obviously are, you get the picture. Don't want to pay for it? Don't pay your taxes...please. You and your cellmate "Snake" should get along just fine.


#6. Regardless what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want you to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to eradicate the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to destroy America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused the hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million years).

You need to get your hearing checked....or maybe you could actually hear what people say if you pulled your head out of your ass. Critical thinking is obviously not your strong suit and I've noticed you tend to make stuff up a lot, so let's just leave it at...you really are amazingly and willfully stupid!!!


#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is
the land of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for
what you want. McDonalds and Walmart are always hiring, get a damn job and stop spooning off the people who are actually working for a living. The constitution says the pusuit of happiness.........that means YOU go get it and not expect the govenrment to hand it to you..

The government is responsible for giving me lots of things. The short list includes:
-food and drugs that are fairly free of contamination and contains what they says they do.
-education for my children
-infrastructure, including roads, lights, running water
-postal delivery
-a standing army to protect me from foreign invaders (now let me make this clear to you...that does not mean we get to invade weaponless, third world countries without cause...because some people obviously think it does)
-Medicaid
-Medicare
That is why I pay my taxes. If I can't pay taxes because I work at jobs that consistantly underpay and have to go on the dreaded welfare (you know, like Wal-Mart where the number of people in the community on welfare increases where ever they decide to build and destroy the local economy) then, that is also why I paid my taxes before and will pay my taxes after my tenure on welfare. Which is 2 years on the average. Oh and in case you didn't know...the majority of people on welfare are white....LIKE YOU.


Amen!

And there it is...the ever so pervasive attempt to show you are a godly person by invoking a God you obviously only pay lip service to. Good luck in the afterlife. Given that I'm a heathen I'll see you in Hell. Knowing you are there will make it at least a bit more bearable.

Good work! :patriot:

I hate that kinda shit.

Good reply, though. :D :D

My first impulse is to wring the guy's neck who sent it to me. He's a Repub who doesn't like Bush, but pretty much toes the party line. He likes seeing me get in a snit over this type of thing.

If I ignore it, in my mind it implies agreement. And I can't agree with anything here...other than I shouldn't try to eat shoes. So, I'll just keep pointing out how ill-conceived and full of holes the arguments are.

Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Bullying can only work if nobody stands up and speaks up. I live in a red state full of bullies. The change I want for the world is for all of us to stand up and speak up to the bullies.

It actually ended with "Amen"?

you have to be kidding me.

When I read this nasty RW garbage, I can barely keep from barfing. I'm proud of you for making it through the whole thing!

today. Only, the email I rec'd said that George Carlin is the original author of the email. I deleted the email. I think I'll keep your copy with your answers and re-send it. Good rebuttal. Thanks.

Everything I would have said, and more! :toast:

below sea level for about a 100 years now.
