Here’s the deal… The dogs on the bus had resposible owners or gaurdians. The poor bastards in the back of the truck were not resposible enough themselves or did not have resposible enough parents or gaurdians to get out of the city when they were told to.

To all of you who thought it was horrible that some dogs were airlifted out, this is what happened to some dogs that owners were forced to leave behind.

I know many animal rights activists that are also passionate about human rights, and give to human based charities all the time.

The way I look at it is both Dogs and humans have the right to be helped, both suffer the same. I am an animal lover, and if I where to have been in New Orleans or any other impending disaster for that matter, I would not leave without my dog, even if it meant my own death.

If they had a bus like in the photo that comes with this article with only dogs on it, and no one else, then I agree that is ridiculous. Anyone that loves an animal will know where I am coming from though when I say you cant expect people to leave there pets behind, because to many it would be like leaving a child behind, they would just not do it.

I get up set when I see humans suffering on TV, but I always get more upset when I see animals suffering on TV, or in my everyday life, I do not know if that makes me a bad person or not, but I cant help the way I feel, maybe its because they are not aware of what is going, and are more defenceless than adult humans and always get the short end of the stick, animals are more like children, they need help because they can not help them selves.

I value all life as equal, animal or human, so in my view animals have the right to help, just as much as people. If there was enough room for a suit case, there is enough room for a dog or cat.

Wow, and lets not forget ten times the man you’ll ever be…

Blah Blah Blah, we’ve heard it all before. Nazis like you always accuse other people of lying, yet you can never prove your accusations – thereby confirming to the world that you are the compulsive liar.

“He didn’t like my comment about how it might be nice to turn the tables on the Filthy Left and use their well known tactics of murdering their political and ideological opponents just to make a point.”

This response is really pathological. To a fascist, everyone is a communist. American liberals are more conservative than conservatives are in europe. You’re smoking dope you illiterate idiot. And you don’t threaten to kill people to make a point or a joke unless you are psychotic (that’s what crazy people do). So yeah everyone takes it seriously because it’s a clear sign that you’re mentally unstable (like we need any more of them).

“Frankly, I’m against murder but one hundred percent for capital punishment. ”

And yet innocent people who’ve died under capital punishment have been murdered. This is called a cognitive disconnect – another sign of mental instability.

“The Left is funny. They don’t mind killing babies and old people”

Once again, a cognitive disconnect, a lie and a slander. Otherwise known as a fascist strawman. They hope you argue that it’s ok to ‘kill babies or old people’, when neither of these statements are even true. They say dealt penalty isn’t killing, yet aborting a fetus that doesn’t even have brain waves is. As for ‘killing old people’, I believe that’s what Tom Delay did when he pulled the plug on his dad? These claims are beyond bogus, they’re the same irrational nonsense the right always spews.

” and certainly have no problem with the scores of millions the Marxists have killed in the past few decades”

Excuse me? Are you gonna take credit for all of the people that the Iranians killed? Because they have the same political stances you do. Last time I checked, american liberals aren’t using guns to kill people, yet american NeoCons just waged a war that killed 100,000 civilians. I’m a pascifist you retard – I have a problem with anyone killing, marxist or otherwise. Most liberals do, or did you forget all of the peace protests? When liberals peace protest you say we’re unamerican, then you accuse us of supporting war and terrorism even though conservatives trained, funded and created alqueda. You’re just a bunch of lying crackpots!

” or even terrorist bombers”

And yet your side funded and created them. Who’s supporting them again? Oh, that’s right FASCIST REPUBLICANS.

” but, suggest we execute a murderer or a traitor or that they get a little of their own Marxist medicine ”

And this is why you weren’t kidding – and you’ve just effectively restated your murder threat. You clearly feel that it’s OK to selectively kill the people you disagree with – that makes you a terrorist. I personally don’t think any of you or your fascist buddies should be killed, I think you should be put in padded rooms. But see, I’m civilized, have morals and values (including religious ones). You are devoid of any positive traits.

“and they become all upset and claim you threatened to kill them. Go figure.”

Lets see, you say that liberals are murdering people (a lie) and therefore we are worth killing – yeah, that’s a threat, and you’re a psychotic moron…

“Personally, I think that nearly each and everyone of the seditious commieratbastards on this site should spend twenty years in Ft. Leavenworth and bunk with T. “Daddy” Washington Jr. But that’s just me. ”

Seditious – as in unamerican? How ironic considering your party funded the terrorists, sold the WMDs to Iraq, sold the plutonium reactors to Iran and lied and fabricated evidence to illegally justify a war (an impeachable offense). You are correct that some people who visit this site are treasonous – unfortunately for you, you’re one of them. You are a terrorist, and an unamerican traitor. You defend those who defile american values, and you defend those who are traitors to america’s security. You are truly a sad, twisted and sick man – get thee to a rubber room!

I like your name. Ryan the fairy princess may have other thoughts about it. I’m sorry he involved you in his homo-hysteria on my account.

He’s a liar, a cheat, a plagiarizer, a homo and a Bad American. He didn’t like my comment about how it might be nice to turn the tables on the Filthy Left and use their well known tactics of murdering their political and ideological opponents just to make a point. Frankly, I’m against murder but one hundred percent for capital punishment. The Left is funny. They don’t mind killing babies and old people and certainly have no problem with the scores of millions the Marxists have killed in the past few decades or even terrorist bombers but, suggest we execute a murderer or a traitor or that they get a little of their own Marxist medicine and they become all upset and claim you threatened to kill them. Go figure.

Refreshingly honest yet intrinsically intellectually dishonest? and you don’t have a problem with that? There’s a bunch of examples of man’s inhumanity to man you could be harping on – the closing of the bridge out of N.O. by the Gretna police, for example. So why select one that is so easily picked apart by the Far Reich, who will surely use this as an example of how far the left ‘bends the truth’.

So what you are saying is that two wrongs make a right? Nice cop out. Everyone else is doing it, you may as well join in, eh?

And “righties” don’t tuck their tail and run from the country when things are not going their way. That’s a liberal trick. Akin to taking their ball and leaving when the other kiddies won’t play the game they want it played.

The person posting here as “Stinky Neat” appears to be I-Right-I who’s threatening to kill members of the blog. Can you please reject him and report him to his ISP for harrassing behavior?”

Nice try Bubba. We are not the same person. And I challenge you to find a post where I threatened anyone.

Who gives a shit? Fox News and ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC The NYTimes, the WaPo, that asswipe Rev. Moon (another kind of asswipe) prints excrement on, our piss poor corporate media do this all the time. This post documents a sad fact about America in a manner that I find refreshingly honest. I see desparation in the GOP trolls. It makes me happy. I see a time coming when they are the ones leaving the country. Hopefully by rendition and to serve time and be tortured in other countries. An increase in the mortality rate among that group would be progress. With or without the benefit of the estate tax. The thread and the post are excellent and they stay. I have spoken.

America the Beautiful

Since 2000 a half century of sustained decline in infant death rates first slowed and then reversed. The infant mortality rate is now higher for the United States than for many other industrial countries. Malaysia — a country with an average income one-quarter that of the United States — has achieved the same infant mortality rate as the United States . . . the Indian state of Kerala has an urban infant death rate lower than that for African Americans in Washington, DC.

However, given the chaotic conditions in the areas struck by Katrina, I think it’s highly unlikely

1. that at some single location, two vehicles drew up — a luxury bus and an old truck
2. that there, in the same location, were a group of well-fed dogs on one hand and one of suffering human victims on the other
3. that someone decided or was instructed by any official in the single location to herd the human beings into the truck and the dogs onto the bus.

I suspect someone “rescued” the dogs and managed to get hold of a bus. I imagine someone else, somewhere else, came upon the victims and managed to get hold of a truck.

Does it demonstrate that the entire rescue and relief operation has been ill-managed? Oh yes!!!!!

Does it mean that a person or group of people decided that dogs’ lives are more valuable than those of human beings? I truly doubt that. I think that could only be asserted if both vehicles and both the people and the dogs were all in the same place at the same time.

I suspect what happened was that people wanted to save SOMEthing, SOMEone, ANYthing, ANYone, to feel they were making SOME dent in the horror and devastation by which they found themselves surrounded, and that the “glommed” onto whatever equipment they could find to make that happen. I find it awfully hard to fault them for that. (California’s earthquakes were my experience. Though San Francisco is actually pretty well-organized to deal with aftermath, there were some similar oddities and horrors after big quakes.)

The liberals (myself included) who come informed and armed with facts instead of propaganda make this place interesting. You just look like some psychotic homeless guy who’s threatening the patrons. And your sexual harrassment is getting really creepy. I told you before I’m not interested in you or your repressed homosexuality. Besides I assure you I’m too old for a racist pedophile like you…
