  1. You have it right. Your first post belonged here; I didn
  2. Well, he obviously didn't read my blog where I trashed Liberal Demos and Ted Kennedy then I got some slaps by the left. As for physical harm to those who politics I disagree with, well frankly, I think Tom was practicing the old "Honesty is the recognition of the fact that the unreal is unreal and can have no value, that neither love nor fame nor cash is a value if obtained by fraud." As for Bubba, what you got against a little companionship? I never said he was a Nazi. If they had not taken down my post, you would see that. I suggested a little reading for him may be in order. Besides, didn't Ayn admire Joe McCarthy? How many hits dose my blog get? Please tell me. And yes, my response was aimed at the lack of sensitivity of Dismuke. I know of elderly people who died in their attics, not because of Katrina; but because of a Governmental agency that admits to have made errors in constructing levees to protect the people of New Orleans and the Port of New Orleans. Their race, class or religeous beliefs and anything else that "our" or should "I" say "My" constitution provide protects all of us, even those who could care less about just plain decency towards another human being. So, if Dismuke can say what he did with tongue in cheek, I suppose I am on safe ground and this will not be taken down. Is it safe to say that Texans are a bunch of loud mouth red necks who wear belt buckles that are too big, wear cowboy boots and live in a capitalistic state that housed Enron who in turn, looted their employees' savings while Houston's Halliburton looted the Treasury of The United States with the blessings of George W. Bush and Dick Chaney Then there was Houston's Service Corp. International. Remember Funeralgate? Which leads to Joe Allbaugh, who was up to his eyeballs in that scandal then later was Bush's Chief of Staff in Texas when
  3. Yeah, I know, I have Google. She was consistant in some ways.
  4. I was surfing the net the other day when I stumbled upon some disturbing generalizations about me! Well, not exactly about me, but if you are from Louisiana, you can't help but take this kind of garbage personally. And yeah, I know it’s old stuff but I believe this perception continues to exist in some corners and since I cannot find an apology, follow up or retraction from the author, a person from Ft. Worth, TX who calls himself “Dismuke”; I figured—Blog it. I mean, hell, it’s still sitting there today for anyone to read. It is still as hurtful, insulting and distasteful today as it was the day it was posted. And—I just got plain angry and decided if “Dismuke” wanted to put this out there for people to read, then I would assist him. I will also use this as a reminder to myself as to why I do this (Blogging) as well as to remind those who want to exercise their freedom of speech that it works both ways. So think first before you exercise that freedom—because we are listening and we are watching and we will exercise our freedom to respond. And we are somewhat articulate considering we are from Louisiana. A closer examination of “Dismuke’s” remarks is quite revealing: First paragraph, First line: “A couple of people have told me…..” First paragraph, Second line: “I am told that they stand out like sore thumbs……….” Fourth Paragraph, Second line: “…..I have never been to New Orleans - but I have been told by a number of people over the years that it was basically like a Third World country." Obviously, Dismuke is “Told” a lot of things and he “Guesses” based on what he “Hears” and thus he forms an opinion based on these factors. He also enjoys posting distasteful emails that he finds “Rather amusing”. As for promulgating a picture you found making the email rounds depicting a “Class of people” that you seem to think characterizes the population of Louisiana; I assure you, with one “shameful” Google search I can one up you many more times with pictures and stories depicting Texans unkindly. Enron's Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling come to mind. If only they had looted liquor stores rather than the saving plans of their employees. Dismuke, you really need to get out a little and try experiencing things first hand. And I know a lot of people are suffering from “Katrina fatigue” but dude, you got “fatigued” pretty fast! While you were posting your comments, we were finding one hundred bodies per week. We are only finding one per week now. (Still missing one thousand people though) Oh! And “Dismuke” Here’s a “rather amusing” quote from one of your fellow Texans and no, it isn’t from George W. Bush. (There is so much material from “W.”, I would need the pay version of this Blog for more space). "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?" – Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-TX), to three young hurricane evacuees from New Orleans at the Astrodome in Houston, Sept. 9, 2005. To Tom Delay: May you rot in hell or better yet, in a Federal prison with a 300 lb. cell mate named Bubba who is very affectionate. And as for you Dismuke; like us or not, if terrorists ever attack Ft. Worth, I along with my fellow New Orleanians and our friends from the Mississippi Gulf Coast will be standing by your side fighting with all we have so that we may remain one united and secure country called the United States. And when the battle has been won, we shall then leave. Soulf of New Orleans BlogSpot
