"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."

-- Henry Kissinger

"When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint. When you ask why the poor have no food, they call you a communist."

-- Archbishop Helder Camara

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics."

-- Robert A. Heinlein

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

-- Voltaire

"If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything."

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross."

-- Sinclair Lewis

"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith.... We need believing people."

-- Adolph Hitler

"I believe in an America where the separation of church and state is absolute--where no Catholic prelate would tell the President (should he be Catholic) how to act, and no Protestant minister would tell his parishioners for whom to vote -- where no church or church school is granted any public funds or political preference -- and where no man is denied public office merely because his religion differs from the President who might appoint him or the people who might elect him."

-- President John F. Kennedy

"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."

-- Cardinal Roberto Bellarmine, 1615,

-- Benjamin Franklin

"It is in no way lawful to demand, to defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing, or of religion, as if they were so many rights that nature has given to man."

-- Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846)

"There is no need to sally forth, for it remains true that those things which make us human are, curiously enough, always close at hand. Resolve, then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts of tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us."

-- Walt Kelly, Pogo

What the Fuck is Going on Here?

When three Duke University college students can drive into New Orleans, make it all the way to the Super Bowl, pick up survivors and ferry them out of the city, not once but twice, then something is way fucked up with the FEMA response to the tragedy in the City of New Orleans.

We've been told over and over again that no one could get into the city to pick up survivors. Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit.

Even fucking Faux News could get in, and they are the biggest pussies in the business. There is absolutely no goddamn excuse for the death and suffering in New Orleans.

Read the Duke University students' story on the Durham Herald Sun website and be prepared to get pissed off!!!

Who the fuck are these people in the evil Baby Doc Maladminstration who would allow this kind of thing to happen???? Who the fuck do they think they are???

I want a lot of resignations. I want a lot of firings. I want a goddamn impeachment of that uncaring unfeeling motherfucker at the top of this heap of stinking turdpiles.

Farnsworth68 said...: Not at all a problem. I just went to your blog and while I do recommend people take a look at it, it's perhaps a bit too theoretical and a large bit too religious for my own angry non-believing secular humanist fist-shaking persona; nonetheless it is an appropriately-named and worthwhile contribution to the blogosphere.
Thank you for checking in.; 9/7/05, 8:39 PM
