Story here:
Troops scouring New Orleans for survivors and victims reported finding at least 40 mutilated bodies in the Convention Center refugee center.
Arkansas National Guardsman Mikel Brooks told the New Orleans Times Picayune many of the dead were elderly, or showed signs of trauma.
"There's another one in the freezer, a 7-year-old with her throat cut," he said.
What kind of monster would slash the throat of a 7-year old girl? What sort of human garbage would mutilate the bodies of the dead?
Sadly, law enforcement is unlikely to make any arrests in this case, due to the chaos of the crime scene, and the fact that potential witnesses and suspects have been dispersed all over the country.

It is a strange window into a microcosm of society on the verge of complete collapse... In the circumstance above... Well, the sick dogs were herded in with the lambs...
At this moment, other than giving of ourselves all we can do is pray - and seek justice if we are able... But in that chaos this would be asking a lot.

who would even write bout stuff like that?

According to the left we have to write about this stuff or otherwise the government will be accused of a coverup. Plus apparently we need photos of the bodies published in the national media or they're conspiring in the coverup too.

Maybe they are writing about it because we live in America and we have freedom of the press. This is a basic fundamental here people. Move to a country where they wouldn't be allowed to cover anything if you don't like it. God, does everything have to be based on politics? People died, it's a fact and we do still have the right to know about this. If you don't like it, then stick your head in the sand.

According to the RIGHT we have to write about this stuff since the implication is that negroes are lawless, savage monsters.
Plus apparently we need photos of the bodies published in the national media so the Right can have something to masturbate to.

See how that works?

One big difference, Shark. What I said is true and reflects statements by the people I'm talking about, and what you said is just hate-filled bullshit.

"It was a dark and stormy night. My elf dragon wizard had suffered dangerously high damage levels from an unexpected spell attack from Al Barger's warlock goblin. We stared each other down across the gameboard as the strains of Led Zeppelin blared through the air, and as I prepared my final death-blow, an especially wicked incantation spell meant to wipe out the Senator's Vulcan centurians, we caught each other's eyes and agreed that being a Libertarian was indeed way cool and that we were the most rational, upright dudes in an irrational world. We were finally free to explore the galaxies and our love without the pesky responsibilities of human relationships and political relevance. We swore that we would one day lead the fight for truth and logic on Internet websites as we sipped our Capri-Sun pouches and reviewed our strategies for conquering the elfin underworld, where life made more sense."
That is all.

Babs, I can hate the message and still love the Shark. I'm convinced that he's so full of vitriol mainly because of self-loathing and that when he finally comes to terms with his inner love of freedom and truth he'll be unable to do anything but rebel against the conditioning he received in that ashram back in 67-71.

Bob, that was a real work, man!
Dave - do you ever give it a rest? Shit, your eyes must bug out every time you see an opportunity to slam this fictional "left" that you yammer on about.
News is news, reporting is reporting, sex sells, and you'll never go broke underestimating the intelligence of the American consumer.
Personally, as sick as it is, I think this story should be told.
If I ever get stuck in a refugee situation like those poor folks, the first thing I'll do is organize some sort of posse, police unit, crossing guard types to make sure that this shit doesn't happen to the children.
It's good to know how thin that veneer really is...

Dave Nalle is fighting tooth and nail with this inner demon he calls the left, a self-creation which is actually his inner better self. I believe there's hope for Dave yet. He can be reasoned with, and this Dave defect will eventually lead to his downfall, and to him voting for Hillary in 2008. Come on, Dave, you know I'm right, don't you? You're a conservative dying to become a liberal. Stop fighting it.
16 - Shark
Babs, I can hate the message and still love the Nalle. I'm convinced that he's so full of praise and apologies for Bush -- mainly because of Dave's finances and his fear that he has SO MUCH to lose if an imaginary anachronism he calls "leftists" take over the country, nationalize all industries, steal his home and property, and put his kids to work in a socialistic utopian work camp -- and that when he finally comes to terms with his inner love of Freedom and Truth (or he has one stroke of bad luck and loses the material crap that currently means more to him than the future of America and an honest, accountable government) -- he'll be unable to do anything but rebel against the conditioning he received in a GOP children's brainwashing front known as Camp Reagan back in the mid-1980s.
Expect him to ditch the camos and arrive at Shark's cardboard box underneath an Interstate 35 bridge wearing a tie-dye T-shirt while listening to The Sex Pistols and carrying a worn-out copy of Maldoror.

Dr. Pat, you just made me ruin the fine computer in the Purdue University computer lab. So that's why they say "No food or drinks."

No, Adam. I'm a conservative AND a liberal at the same time. They aren't opposites. This is what causes people so much confusion when dealing with me. They don't understand that you can be a conservative and still hold liberal values.
Most of those I cause confusion to seem to be liberals with moderate socialist tendancies who don't see the larger picture.
Of course, Hillary as a progressive/socialist/statist is the last person I'd ever vote for.

Yep, Sharky. Oddly enough I think it would be a bad thing if the nation's economy were destroyed. How evil of me.
>> that he has SO MUCH to lose if an imaginary anachronism he calls "leftists"<<
They aren't imaginary so long as you're alive, Shark.
>> take over the country, nationalize all industries, steal his home and property,<<
Like they did to my neighbors under eminent domain this past year.
>>Expect him to ditch the camos and arrive at Shark's cardboard box underneath an Interstate 35 bridge wearing a tie-dye T-shirt while listening to The Sex Pistols and carrying a worn-out copy of Maldoror.<<
Well, I've already got the tie-dye t-shirt and the Sex Pistols on my iPod...

Me'thinks you need a new insult. Seeing as I don't have any, the insult really isn't pertinent here anyway -- much like most of your comments.
MORE GRACKLES!!! HE NEEDS MORE GRACKLES FOR ENLIGHTENMENT!!!
