Listen to their words. They spell out their priorities.

[SoCalDem]

EVERY single republican I have seen on TV for a WEEK has concentrated on:

law & order
oil
business
looting
property
rioting
army
military
authority
private citizens sending money
even starting to hear their old favorite....fraud

the few democrats who have dared to speak out have talked about:

trapped people still in their homes
food
water
shelter
asking people to take in homeless
asking how this could happen in america


---------------------------------------------------------------

Republicans "pride" themselves on being the "law & order" party, and claim to be the "Daddy" party..stern and disciplinarian

That may work fine when you're free to bully poor people with impunity from the press and the public, but there are times when a little more Mommy and a lot less Daddy is necessary.

That time is NOW.. It has been for DAYS.

It's up to the democratic party to step up and remind the public who really cares about their well being..their very lives..

It's NOT time to back off and pretend that there will be "time later to assess what happened".
The time is NOW the time is FOREVER.

They screwed this up BIGTIME and we must make them wear this badge of dishonor. They earned it. They OWN it.

1. And the proportions are telling, too.

Virtually all Republicans have followed the priorities you listed. Sadly, so have many Dems, explicitly or through their silence. They are dinosaurs, all of them. Katrina was to them what that big ass meteor was to the dinosaurs. It's the end of them.

It's the beginning of the age of the people again. Katrina changes everything.

2. The rethugs are already "fighting the insurgency in the city"

The Army Times is running an article on it.

5. The day has come: American Citizens are now "The Insurgency."

God help us all.

3. terrorism is the priority of Homeland sec. now, it is the mentality/

language of many now. it is hard for many to think outside this box--as they die in the Gulf Coast.

4. It's Unusual The Way You Put It... But I Understand What You Mean...

and I agree. And I'm a daddy. : )

6. The power of pride

is one of the most UNCHRISTIAN immoral things and I cringe every time I see that bumper sticker.

[Divernan]

7. Right! Pride is one of the 7 deadly sins and goeth before a fall!

8. The bush admin are trying desparately to try and make this

look like a 'war' situation so they can try and give bush back his 'war' president following, imo. It is beyond comprehension, though, how they think this will divert any blame from him.
