WE ARE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!

Must be a slow news day.

[Paleo Conservative]

No agenda here.

[xcamel]

"DOOMED!"

[ASA Vet]

The National Guard may be needed to hold up the sky.

[mtbopfuyn]

The sky is falling!!!

[300magnum]

BLOAT - Buy lots of ammo today!

[RightWhale]

The Emergency people enjoy their drills and get to pretend they would be of any use at all if it gets really big.

These people will do anything to get people to take the flu shots. When such a push is put on about medicine like this it’s scary. My doctor said I should get the shot. I’ve never had a flu shot but everyone I know that has had it, got sick. That tells me that the body is trying to get rid of that stuff. I just told my doctor I’ll take my chances, I don’t want to get sick.

I'd like to add that the National Guard is significantly under prepared to respond to a major Martian Attack on Des Moines, Iowa... if one were to occur.

This vulnerable state is due to the Bush policies in Iraq and lack of concern for early primary state residents.

I sincerely hope that the DEM candidates can effectively make this point as they campaign. I also hope that the MSM will allow their message to get out to those who need to hear.

As far as the "supposed threat" from our Muslim brothers and sisters, I ask... "Why can't we just all get along?"

[Badeye]

While you have a point about the ‘we’re all gonna die’ aspect, the fact is we are way way overdue for a pandemic of some type.

You can only hold off ‘mother nature’ thinning the herd for so long, then she lets loose the entire can of whup ass in one shot - see Katrina.

Intelligent people use the time available to prepare for such events.

[mmichaels1970]

OMG...what if TWO flu pandemics break out. Or a flu pandemic coupled with an Ebola pandemic...then we’re really screwed.

[Ieatfrijoles]

Let's find a vehicle for disseminating this line:As the Pentagon fights criticism from congressional Democrats that the war in Iraq is depleting the National Guard's ability to help out in domestic crises

[JasonC]

Um, there isn't any flu epidemic.

Just thought I'd clarify that, since the first duty of a rational man when people around him go stark raving mad, is to restate the obvious.

[afnamvet]

The surrender monkey’s talking point. This has nothing to do with the Guard and everything to do with Iraq.

[Sam Ketcham]

Very interesting that the term “3 million people” (in the US) is used instead of 3 million Americans. JMO but the illegals are going to be hit the hardest. I say protect them - send them all home and we will all be better off.

[Paperdoll]

During quarantine when I was a child, the National Guard was not necessary to enforce it. Why is it necessary to call it in during a quarantine now? Something is rotten and it isn’t only in Denmark.

[EndWelfareToday]

Just preparing the public for the imminent oppression of the “New World Order” and it’s enslavement of the human race.

[Radix]

There is consensus among folks who specialize in Health Care that a pandemic is coming.

[savedbygrace]

What pikers.

I mean, what if the Earth got hit by a thousand large meteors and billions of people were killed and thousands of cities and town were destroyed. What would we do then?

If you’re gonna play ‘what if’, at least think big.

[.cnI redruM]

But how? All their equipment is in Iraq! </sarc
