George Carlin's thoughts on New Orleans


Been sitting here with my *** in a wad, wanting to speak out about the ********
going on in New Orleans. For the people of New Orleans... First we would like
to say, Sorry for your loss. With that said, Let's go through a few hurricane
rules: (Unlike an earthquake, we know it's coming)

#1. A mandatory evacuation means just that...Get the **** out. Don't blame the Government after they tell you to go. If they hadn't said anything, I can see
the argument. They said get out... if you didn't, it's your fault, not theirs.
(We don't want to hear it, even if you don't have a car, you can get out.)

#2. If there is an emergency, stock up on water and non-perishables. If you
didn't do this, it's not the Government's fault you're starving.

#2a. If you run out of food and water, find a store that has some.
(Remember, shoes, TV's, DVD's and CD's are not edible. Leave them alone.)

#2b. If the local store has been looted of food or water, leave your neighbor's
TV and stereo alone. (See #2a) They worked hard to get their stuff. Just
because they were smart enough to leave during a mandatory evacuation, doesn't
give you the right to take their stuff...it's theirs, not yours.


#3. If someone comes in to help you, don't shoot at them and then complain no
one is helping you. I'm not getting shot to help save some ******* who didn't
leave when told to do so.


#4. If you are in your house that is completely under water, your belongings are
probably too far gone for anyone to want them. If someone does want them, let
them have them and hopefully they'll die in the filth. Just leave! (It's New
Orleans, find a voodoo warrior and put a curse on them)

#5. My tax money should not pay to rebuild a 2 million dollar house, a sports
stadium or a floating casino. Also, my tax money shouldn't go to rebuild a city
that is under sea level. You wouldn't build your house on quicksand would you?
You want to live below sea-level, do your country some good and join the Navy.


#6. Regardless of what the Poverty Pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton want you
to believe, The US Government didn't create the Hurricane as a way to eradicate
the black people of New Orleans; (Neither did Russia as a way to destroy
America). The US Government didn't cause global warming that caused the
hurricane (We've been coming out of an ice age for over a million years).

#7. The government isn't responsible for giving you anything. This is the land
of the free and the home of the brave, but you gotta work for what you want.
McDonalds and Wal-Mart are always hiring, get a **** job and stop spooning off
the people who are actually working for a living. President Kennedy said it
best..."Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your
country."

I had a feeling it might be fake. I've seen one with Robin Williams before too that was fake.
 
I changed the title, did you re-read it? I had no sources to check. If you have an issue with it, find out who wrote it and go after them.

BTW, people do need help and they should get it. How much and who pays for it....well......

I don't think it's cowardice, per se. Mr. Joe Smith-Dingleberry, the author of this rant, knows full well that no one will pay any attention if he uses his own name, so he comes up with a famous person who could have potentiallty written it and slaps that persons name on it. It's just a matter of knowing how to market a product and this is a proven way to get people's attention and get them to spread Mr. Smith-Dingleberry's message. It's not the most honest way, but it's effective.

Bingo!

aka a celebrity endorsement obtained under false pretences.

but it's still a neat self-gratifying read for many of us....
 
Whoever wrote it was absolutely, 100%, positively RIGHT. If you won't admit it, you'll at least think it.

Wow, you managed to sum up a whole paragraph in 8 words. Very impressive!

George Carlin has taken far too many drugs to say anything this accurate. Besides advocating personal responsibility will get you blacklisted in Hollywood.
 
But George can tell one mean story about an Evil Diesel and Thomas.

I just can't wait until my 4 year old looks up the narrator on all her childhood movies on the internet!!!

The thing that annoyed me about it was it wasnt even funny, I recieved this email about a month ago...I couldnt find the humor, it didnt even read like Carlin.
 
It wasn't meant to be funny IMO. It was meant to counter the left wing's ** on the whole idea that Bush created this whole mess. A lack of personal responsibilty among many of the citizens and local goverment are more to blame IMO.
 
Row Vs Wade

The mayor of New Orleans was asked about his position on Roe Vs. Wade.

He said he didn't really care how people got out of the City.
