remula | Hurricane Katrina

I tried to avoid the news about Katrina because it's just too.. painful. But.. I read some stuff and I just need to share...

Some News Articles // It's so sad to read all that...

Red Cross Banned From New Orleans // State Homeland Security Department and National Guard preventing Red Cross from entering New Orleans, afraid it will discourage people from evacuating. // I'm sorry, but, WTF?! Why WOULDN'T people want to leave? Damn.. this kind of stupidity amazes and horrifies me.

This thread unsettles me. // I've been hearing that *hundreds* of civilians have driven to New Orleans attempting to help get their friends/relatives out of there, and they have all been turned away by the national guard. // WTF?!~ ARGHHHH!~ There's just so much WRONG with this whole thing.

George Bush is going to go down in history as the President Who Destroyed America. // Bush, Hurricane Katrina, and a letter.

This whole thing.. there are no words. I'm BEYOND upset at the way this whole thing is being handled. It just blows my mind... ;_;

ETA:

Rev. Bill Shanks, pastor of New Covenant Fellowship of New Orleans, also sees God's mercy in the aftermath of Katrina -- but in a different way. Shanks says the hurricane has wiped out much of the rampant sin common to the city.

The pastor explains that for years he has warned people that unless Christians in New Orleans took a strong stand against such things as local abortion clinics, the yearly Mardi Gras celebrations, and the annual event known as "Southern Decadence" -- an annual six-day "gay pride" event scheduled to be hosted by the city this week -- God's judgment would be felt.

“New Orleans now is abortion free. New Orleans now is Mardi Gras free. New Orleans now is free of Southern Decadence and the sodomites, the witchcraft workers, false religion -- it's free of all of those things now," Shanks says. "God simply, I believe, in His mercy purged all of that stuff out of there -- and now we're going to start over again."
