uruloki’s lair

The stupid people have struck again. My first news sources is Drudge in the mornings and, while there are plenty of stupid people in print on a daily basis, today there was enough stupidity to make me want to write something. Normally, I can bury under the realization that many other people are already writing on it that are wittier, but it is time for a good spleenage.

First off, we have five teens killed in a shoot out in New Orleans. The stupid part:

The shooting left many people feeling unsafe in the poor Central City neighborhood where people sat on porches and discussed the incident Saturday.

“Hang on, we feel unsafe, so we’re just going to hang out here on the porch and chitchat.” Riiiight.

In the same area, the LA Times doesn’t want us to blame the victims for taking the money from FEMA and spending it on hookers.

It’s easy, and necessary, to criticize FEMA’s across-the-board incompetence in responding to the largest displacement of Americans since the Civil War. But obsessing about the spending habits of refugees comes perilously close to blaming the victim.

Hmmm, let’s think about this. On the one hand we have people who had to evacuate in the face of a natural disaster receiving aid. On the other hand, we have the people that take the free handout and run. The first people I am ok with referring to as “victims of Katrina.” But, guess what. Most of them are probalbly back in New Orleans, working to fix stuff. That second group aren’t victims, they are fucking parasites on all of us. Complaining about not getting free housing four plus months after a disaster and not looking for jobs in the local area makes you worthless in my book. Please kill yourself because obviously Nature missed its shot.

Finally, we have the Dixie Bitches:

“The entire country may disagree with me, but I don’t understand the necessity for patriotism,” Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. “Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don’t see why people care about patriotism.”

And that, you dumb cow, is why you will never ever be as accepted in American culture as you once were. If you can’t understand the simple need to be Americans together, in spite of our differences of opinion, maybe you should move somewhere else. I guess she does go to prove the stereotype of country as being inbred and dumber than a box of rocks.
