Trying to get by in New Orleans

Hey Crickette, I wanted to stop by here and see what you think of your new Governor?

I live in St. Bernard and it sickens me to read these words.. Bickering back in forth in your chair in your house in front of your computer while we, the people who actually have the right to bicker, sit and wait for the ninnies to stop suckling long enough for us to get our heads above water. You want to help...never let anyone turn a blind eye to some one elses suffering. I pray you never have to hear the sound of hundreds of people drowning, crying, and praying for mercy all while being abandoned by our fellow man. As a point of interest the first of the rescuers to arrive in my little parish were not American, but Canadians that boated in despite the warnings of federal and local law enforcements. Count your blessings everyday and never turn your nose up or your back on your fellow man.

Last week when the fires ravaged San Diego, there were fire fighting aircraft GROUNDED at the airport because the appropriate reports, requests, permits, etc. weren't filled out.
What does this tell you? STOP EXPECTING THE FEDERAL GUBBERMINT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS. They are miserable failures at solving anything-- look at Iraq, the federal deficit, the Social Security system. Fix it LOCALLY. If your state is prone to hurricanes, set up zoning so that people can't build BELOW SEA LEVEL. Get rid of corrupt politicians so that buses aren't sitting in a parking lot while people are stranded in front of a storm.
I went through Greensburg, Kansas two weeks after they were completely wiped off the face of the earth. The storm ripped the bark off the trees. Today, quietly, they are rebuilding. Yes, they are a smaller problem than New Orleans. But six months after the tornado, schools are running, buildings going up. And it didn't take over $400K PER PERSON to fix the problem.

<quoted text>They let $20,000,000.oo, of ICE stay in Semi-Trailers set and ruin. Yes, that's $20 million. They left it in Freezer Trailers and just in '07 did they get rid of it. It was asked "Why not take it on down to NOLA for them?" They were afraid it was spoiled.

The left creates problems, then blames the right for them.
Sick thing is: The willingly ignorant believe the leftist propaganda.
It's always easier to blame others for your problems.

That used to be a true American! Now she is in the minority. "Do it yourself" has been replaced by "Do it for me, now!" Kinda funny watching the water rise in New Orleans and all the sheep looking at eachother while the water kept on risin. A beautiful lesson in humanity, humility, and self-reliance.
