There are a lot of people on both the left radicals and right radicals that will come up with wingnut ideas for why this hurricane happened. I think that we all can agree that we should ignore the stupid and idiot things they say, and realize that this happened just by chance and that we should be thinking about the victoms and how we can help them.

I eagerly await a left radical idea that compares with the SFORD. Let's be honest, here: a huge number of the religious-minded believe that their god likes to send disasters to punish his little creations for their misbehavior. That's always going to put them leaps and bounds above the rest. |
The only thing I heard anything close to this from Left is people saying that US causes gobal warming and that was the cause of this hurricane and that we derseved it. Most people in the US though dont think that the strom was sent by God to punish anyone or any other wingnut idea. Most people who believe in God are praying for the victoms, and almost all Americans are trying to do all they can to help the victoms. Again dont put so such credit into the wingnuts.

quote: Hurricane Katrina walloped New Orleans just two days before the annual homosexual "Southern Decadence" festival was to begin in the town, an act being characterized by some as God's work.
Southern Decadence has a history of "filling the French Quarters section of the city with drunken homosexuals engaging in sex acts in the public streets and bars," says a statement from the Philadelphia Christian organization Repent America.
This year's 34th annual Southern Decadence festival, which drew 125,000 revelers last year, was set to begin today in the Big Easy and run through Monday.
As writer John d'Addario explained in "Southern Decadence 2005: A How-To Guide" posted on FrenchQuarter.com:
Parades and non-stop parties aside, Southern Decadence may be most famous (or infamous) for the displays of naked flesh which characterize the event – which is only fitting, since New Orleans in early September is generally the closest thing you'll ever experience to walking around in a steambath outside of a health spa. While police have started to crack down on public lewdness and pressure from a local crackpot conservative religious organization has caused the five-day festival to become a little more sedate than it was in years past, the atmosphere of Southern Decadence has stayed true to its name and public displays of sexuality are pretty much everywhere you look.
Of course, the massive flooding of the city and evacuation order from Gov. Kathleen Blanco has forced the event's cancellation.
"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage in a statement. "[/b]From 'Girls Gone Wild' to 'Southern Decadence,' New Orleans was a city that opened its doors wide open to the public celebration of sin. May it never be the same."
Repent America says three former and current mayors of New Orleans have issued official proclamations welcoming visitors to Southern Decadence.
"Let us pray for those ravaged by this disaster. However, we must not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long," Marcavage said. "May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God."
Marcavage was one of the five Philadelphia Christians arrested last year for protesting at a homosexual event. The charges eventually were tossed out. |

I'd say that divine intervention had nothing to do with saving any lives, the path of the hurricane, the creation of the hurricane or the creation of the earth.
But that's just me.
