What if state and local elected officials were forced to depend on
themselves and their own resources instead of calling for help from the
federal government? Texas cities would be back up and running in a few
days. Louisiana cities would still be under water next month. Republicans
call for action, Democrats call for help. What party! will you be voting
for in the next election? This isn't racism, THIS IS FACT! billt.

--------------------

From what you wrote, it could be said that it was a red/blue issue instead of a Black/White issue.

Not hardly. There are several Democratic run citys that don't have the monumental problems New Orleans has, or the corruption for that matter. And I'm not talking from the hurricane either! billt.

Are you a racist?

...24) Texas: Coastal areas six to twenty feet above sea level.
Louisiana: City of New orleans six to twenty feet below sea level.

25) Louisiana: Major urban megopolis takes pretty much a direct hit.
Texas: Major cities in Texas suffer glancing misses for the most part.

26) Texas: Devastating hurricane just down the coast three weeks prior. Many choose to stay anyway, get lucky. Those staying consisting of folks of all races, determined largely by income, percieved threat, and ability to leave.
Louisiana: No devastating hurricane just down the coast three weeks prior. Many choose to stay based upon previous false alarms, those staying including folks of all races, determined mostly by income, percieved threat, and ability to leave.

27) Texas: Whole evacuation/FEMA/NG/Federal response debacle just played out in a neighboring state. Much of the response apparatus still in place. Politicians not wishing to appear foolish get on the ball.

Louisiana: Just one more alarm after many false alarms. Nothing immediately in place, call an evacuation without cause and you'll likely lose more evacuating than if they had stayed put (as exactly what happened in Texas).

28) Texas: Not much looting where law-abiding folks had guns.
Louisiana: Not much looting where law-abiding folks had guns.

29) Texas: Houston mayor, Bill White, Democrat, (with a campaign manager/prominent staffer named "Mustafa Jabeez", prob'ly Irish <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />)
Louisiana: NO mayor Ray Nagin, a Democrat.

30) Texas: Most evacuees PREPARED <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />??????
Texas again: Why am I even responding to this thread?

Billt,

The New Orleans part aside, you state it all as "Louisiana", it seems, and you obviously haven't watched the news concerning the people of all of south Louisiana, outside of New Orleans.

Next time you meet a Cajun from south Louisiana, thump him (or her) on the nose and tell 'em what you think about them, as you stated here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Old Toot

Dude...just 'cause you say that don't make it so. Please go back under your rock! um, bridge? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If posting stupidity performed by blacks makes one a "racist", then the answer is yes. That word is so misused today, it practically has no useful meaning anyway. billt.

And don't forget their bumbling, brainless, black police chief who "just decided" to take his retirement now rather than face the challenge of explaining how his force deserted and looted a city they were sworn to protect. Oops, sorry, more "racism". billt.

How about this. I'll admit to being a "racist" when any of you can show me one single black run nation on the surface of this Earth thats worth the powder it would take to blow it up. billt.

It's a case of grotesque corruption and arrogance that shows what an utter failure liberalism/communism is.

New Orleans is so corrupt you'd have to travel to other countries to find a more extreme example of ineptitude and criminality.

It's laughable that no-one can point the blame at white leadership because N.O. is owned and operated by blacks who obviously were elected for their skin color rather than their leadership abilities. A total embarassment for liberals and for the "black leadership" they claim will be the saving grace of black people.

Government is not the answer, it's self-reliance, personal responsibility and hard work that makes one a free and a productive American. Government is a necessary evil, not a savior. Black people have been lied to and deluded for decades by their "leadership" that only liberal politicians and welfare can save them. New Orleans is a classic example of the complete and total failure that liberalism is.

billt is now on ignore. Les

Um... well I thought Ghana was pretty nice, I might be persuaded to take in a heartbeat over France for example, or Serbia, or even Russia.

Birdwatcher

Sorry Les, but I'm not good at blowing sunshine up your, or anyone else's ass. Just make your check payable to mayor Nagin. I'm sure he'll see it gets put to good use. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> billt.

"Um... well I thought Ghana was pretty nice, I might be persuaded to take in a heartbeat over France for example, or Serbia, or even Russia."

Thats like saying I prefer rotten meat over rotten fish. Logic like that is a little like hitting yourself on the head with a hammer because it feels good when you stop! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> billt.

If you think this is "pretty nice" , I'd hate like hell to see what your definition of bad is! Just another black infested $h!thole. billt.

Hey! I think I used to shop in that market <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Um.. is that the only place in the Tropics that looks like that? Does the whole country look like that?
