Occupied New Orleans
Posted by: McQ on Friday, September 16, 2005

Yeah, you know who's at it again. Now she's an expert in disaster relief.

This time its about Occupied New Orleans. Can bumper stickers and t-shirts be far behind (or a cameo appearance by Jane Fonda and John Kerry)?:
One thing that truly troubled me about my visit to Louisiana was the level of the military presence there. I imagined before that if the military had to be used in a CONUS (Continental US) operations that they would be there to help the citizens: Clothe them, feed them, shelter them, and protect them. But what I saw was a city that is occupied. I saw soldiers walking around in patrols of 7 with their weapons slung on their backs. I wanted to ask one of them what it would take for one of them to shoot me. Sand bags were removed from private property to make machine gun nests.

The vast majority of people who were looting in New Orleans were doing so to feed their families or to get resources to get their families out of there. If I had a store with an inventory of insured belongings, and a tragedy happened, I would fling my doors open and tell everyone to take what they need: it is only stuff. When our fellow citizens are told to "shoot to kill" other fellow citizens because they want to stay alive, that is military and governmental fascism gone out of control.

[...]

George Bush needs to stop talking, admit the mistakes of his all around failed administration, pull our troops out of occupied New Orleans and Iraq, and excuse his self [sic] from power.
Read the whole thing. It's laugh out loud dumb at some points and at others, the amount of ignorance displayed is freakin' sad.

This is what passes for rational and responsible dissent on the left. This person is a "leader" in that regard.

Telling, isn't it?

Talk about cheap shots! Calling attention to this poor woman? All right, she is obviously crazy, judging by her overblown rhetoric. Is that any reason to hold her up to ridicule? I don’t begrudge her ... in the least. Whatever the tragic backstory behind her ... She’s a grieving, angry, searching Mother of a soldier who gave his life for his country. We can now all shut the fuck up... and thank her for her sacrifice.

I say the more exposure the better. Kinda like the point made during the Roberts hearing that NOW, Planned Parenthood, NARAL and other feminist groups said exactly the same things about Justices Stephens and Souter when they were nominated that they are now saying about Roberts, (e.g. "will turn back the clock", etc., etc.) Stephens and Souter are now, of course, two of the more liberal Justices on the court.

This constant repetition makes these folks sound like the knee jerk idiotarians they are. Cindy certainly qualifies for that label as well.

My ass. She found her so called answers long before she set up camp in Texas. You should have more respect for her son’s sacrifice since he’s the one who made it against her wishes.

Because, you know, it’s insured. It’s not like it’ll be any skin off of my ass. Sheesh.

But the left/democrats are the party of reason and logic. Or so they claim.

Of course, I claim to be suave and handsome.

Those fascist barbarian despoilers. Imagine, removing sandbags from private property. The first step on the slippery slope to a military dictatorship.

Totally offpoint...but I was in a London chatroom tonight, there was only a few people on there, the most vocal was an American. He was going on and on about how America only bombs countries, how he was embarrassed to be American, etc. But he was doing this in the middle of conversation he was having with a British woman. I was livid. I said if it’s so terrible why don’t you leave. I called him an "asshole" and left.

Totally cowardly on my part, but I didn’t feel like getting in a pissing match on a foreign chat site. What the fuck is wrong with these people? It’s one thing to run down your country here, but to do it to try and impress a bunch of Brits and pick up a chick...UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!

Cindy, the media whore, is living the best year of her life. She thinks people actually give a shit about her and what she has to say. She hasn’t figured out that her new found friends in the MSM will drop her like a hotcake when the next Plamegate surfaces. BTW ever what happened to Valerie?

Cindy is destined to spend her final bitter days slamming her drool cup around the Santiorium. Sad.

While watching some footage of Cindy Sheehan, I noticed she was wearing a Tau cross - the symbol of the Secular Franciscans which is a Catholic group of lay people devoted to living in the model of St. Francis. A while back, I sent Cindy this poem of St. Francis to remind her how to actually work for peace. Perhaps we can all use this as a reminder from time to time.

Prayer of St. Francis —

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Since, by extension, Michael Moore publishes this on his site, does he also believe that New Orleans is occupied?

The left: Send in the Troops!! Send in the Troops!!

the troops go in

The left: Those bastards are occupying New Orleans, Remove the Troops!! Remove the Troops!!

You just can’t write comedy like this. MK, time for your turn at the mike.

We can estimate the length of Sheehan’s exposure by looking at a similar case - David Brock. When he nominally switched from conservative to liberal, he was the toast of the media for about nine months.

It eventually became obvious that he was not very bright and was an extreme opportunist. We don’t hear any more about him. Cindy has a few more months to go, and then she’ll be the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question.

Pardon my French, but she didn’t sacrifice SHIT. Her son volunteered to serve his nation, risked his life for his comrades, and ended up paying the ultimate price for all of our sakes. I’m sure he is turning in his grave. His mother is a disgrace to her son.

Billy Hollis, that is the perfect word for her. She is nothing but an opportunist. She thinks she can use the tragedy of her son’s death to push her ignorant, hateful agenda and be above criticism because of "HER sacrifice".

Cindy Sheehan speaks for everyone on the left, and you should have more respect for all the things she has sacrificed. Cindy Sheehan is a true american heroine who should be the democratic party nominee for US President in 2008. Hillary Clinton should wait until 2016, make way for a true heroine. Take pride in Cindy’s frankness and honesty, her folksy manner and gritty style. She is the future of american politics and media.

I’m thinking UglyDuck was engaging in some tongue-in-cheek banter. At least, that’s what I hope. If I’m wrong it mean that someone so disconnected from reality is allowed to vote and drive cars.

Cindy Sheehan speaks for everyone on the left,

In my dreams she does. In my opinion, she should have much much more time on camera and in front of microphones, yes please. She should become the most widely-quoted Democrat in America. She should even be widely heard to make remarks that are more than twenty seconds in length, so that Americans can better appreciate the depth and breadth of her thinking.

Yes please yes please yes please make her be that oh please oh please yes yes.
. Take pride in Cindy’s frankness and honesty, her folksy manner and gritty style. She is the future of american politics and media.
Quick, pick her a running mate! And send Ward Reilly some nice fat checks for um for fundraising expenses.
But first, let’s watch closely to see whether any actual Elected Democrats (i.e. professionals) approach within barge-pole-reaching distance of the frank honest folksy gritty future of media. Weirdly, none have so far.
At least, none that I can remember. C.McKinney didn’t actually show up in person at Camp Narcissus, did she?
