The Battle of New Orleans: Class warfare in America
Plain and simple. That is what we are witnessing in New Orleans. Poverty in that city had reached a boiling point and Hurricane Katrina created the environment for class war to manifest itself once again. When you have nothing and you have nothing to lose, you have everything to fight for.

2. I said it...and I mean it.
Dems! Quit recoiling from the charge of ‘Class Warfare.’

Stand up and say "Damn straight. You declared it and we ignored it. That’s over. Hundreds have died and the gloves are off.

"It's not even class warfare anymore. It's a bare-knuckle brawl. You have gotten away with too much already. Now it's time to start giving back what you've stolen from the American people. Starting with their dignity."

3. We'll see the lie of the land next week n the Senate.
I believe we are about to lose another major battle. The implications of that are very grim for the Contry and our People.

5. Thousands have died, perhaps over 10,000. It's time for the real
government to rest control from these people... they have done way too much damage to us, they must cease and desist from their incompetence... they must be leashed.

4. Actually, I believe that the neo-conservatives in charge along...
...with the Dominionists in the shadows decided to let what they considered to be Amerika's "Sodom and Gomorrah" reap God's wrath and just sat back and let it happen on purpose.

7. Poverty coming out
of the shadows. They have successfully hidden the GROWING population in poverty. Now we have to be prepared for the fact that there is a strong contingent of people who in their hearts do not give a shit.
