> [@NinetyWt](#): > > **Beware of Doug** : That’s kinda sad. Ain’t it though? And sadder yet is the fact that peddling that bitter pablum sells ad time, and is a much more reliable path to influence and opinion-making than if you talk about meaningful issues while looking for common ground - which, as **Nation** so timely points out, ignores Truth and pussifies the collective soul. ---

New Orleans was a welfare city, a city of parasites, a city of people who could not, and had no desire to fend for themselves. You have a hurricane descending on them and they sit on their fat asses and wait for somebody else to come rescue them.” Do you have an objection to that? If so, what is it? Because that statement is sadly way to true to blow off. We had a whole bunch of Katrina folks move into our area. SWMBO is originally from New Orleans and got to know one lady at the church. She was chatting with her one day and asked what her plans were; would they stay here in Houston or go back to New Orleans. KatrinaMom couldn’t wait to get back to New Orleans. Seems that Texas wouldn’t put her on welfare. In N. O., she was on welfare, her mom was on welfare and her kids were drawing welfare as well. Three generations of the same family sucking down welfare, and she’s bitching because she had to get a job here in Texas. And she’s sure as hell not the only one. ---

And if you had met a Katrina refugee eagerly pursuing a job, your attitude would have entirely reversed? Because one example is all you’ve given us, apparently, that’s all it takes. Speaking as a recovering Texan, thanks for reminding me why. ---

I’d suggest that the OP switch to the night shift, only then there’d probably be a supervisor who insists on having Mark Levin’s radio show on constantly. And that might well be worse, as Levin not only rants endlessly about the same stuff, he has a whiny little voice he tries to conceal by having the engineer use reverb. Sort of the radio equivalent of a comb-over. My favorite Levin moment was when he was going on about the Arlen Spector defection to the Democrats, and related a story about how as a teenager he worked for the Spector campaign but quit when Spector asked him to write a position paper he disagreed with. As Levin told the story, a Spector aide called his house to try to get him to reconsider and wound up talking to Levin’s mom. The aide said Spector really like Levin, to which Levin’s mom replied “Well, Mark doesn’t like _him_”. Levin bragged about this. Attaboy, way to stand up to the leftist menace, have mamma bat for you. We now return you to our scheduled anti-Boortzery. ---

When I read the title of this thread, in my mind I was thinking Niels Bohr, but then I looked both of them up. So never mind. ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > There was an interesting piece on Bill Moyers about right-wing hate-mongers the other night, and they showed Boortz saying that stuff. Yep, and the [video](http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/07242009/profile2.html) is online - definitely worth watching. I’ve never heard they guy’s radio show and after the “cockroaches” comparison I don’t care to tune in even to point and laugh. I got chills when he said that and made an immediate comparison to Rwanda before the segment did. ---

Describing a whole city of people as a bunch of useless, worthless parasites who sit on their fat asses and collect welfare checks is not objectionable to you and seems like an accurate assessment to you? I live in Houston as well. The Katrina refugees I actually have met (and are not a friend-of-a-friend story) got jobs at the place where I work, are good employees, and one is a darned fine cook who likes to bring baked goods for us to try. So , does my personal anecodote trump yours? ---
