Barbara Bush: It's Good Enough for the Poor

This is actually two memes here. The first is unempathy, the unrealization that anyone else could possibly consider where they live to be "home". The second is that you should be thankful for any gift, no matter how half-hearted or bungled it is.

The question is, how do you teach people with such mindsets that they're wrong?

You don't. The best that can be done is keep them from positions of power.

Oops.

Oh well, maybe this + the Rove thing will finally topple the neocon's delusive reality. Seriously, what if it had been a terrorist attack, with no warning? Bush & his buddies need their feet held to the fire, and hopefully this situation will force even his party to quit giving out medals and start asking tough questions. But probably not. :-(

Idiot.

I saw that interview on teh newz last night and had a fit of "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!"
I hadn't had one of those since... well.. since three minutes before when they showed "Jim's Guns" selling "over a hundred guns a day" to fucktards who are scared that the IDPs from New Orleans will CAR JACK them (because they're black).
And then somebody referred to IDPs [internally displaced persons] as refugees and I went off again.

PLEASE NO MORE >_<

Dude, this New Orleans shit even got the fucking press going OMGWTFHELLOGOVT?!?!? I don't even think the shit has begun to hit the fan over all this.

[sassyashley.livejournal.com]

agreed. i don't think people have really even been able to wrap their brains around what is going on yet, myself included. this is a MAJOR fuckup by our government.

I've heard a bullet goes a long way.

[megarandom.livejournal.com]

Fuck that. A bunch of bullets. Line those fuckers up against a wall and charge for a chance.

They're sociopaths. The compassionate thing to do is to arrange for them to be cared for individually by well-compensated professionals—by no means inflict them on each other, or the rest of us.
