Dummy-crats take control in New Orleans

[Pete_G]

Nagin was a Republican before running for mayor and is still a VERY conservative Democrat. He has endorsed both Democratic and Republican candidates since taking office.

Also that quoted text is pretty sad. How was someone going to step up and become a leader in the Superdome? What was someone going to do, build an ark and magically transport the sick and elderly in wheelchairs to safety? I don't get it. They had NOTHING. The gov't, on any level, had to help out, and these people had every right to expect help since they completely needed it. They had gone there for safety and were probably told not to bring personal possesions or anything else which made them dependant on the people protecting them.

The article itself says "Behind FDR's statement was the conviction that, while the government must step in in an emergency, in normal times, men provide the food, clothing and shelter for their families."

What, were these "normal times"?

Comparing the needs of post-Katrina victims to dependance on our f'd up welfare system, well, it's tough to say on a family board what I think about it. That article is just a few steps shy of racist as well, something the writer sometimes shows a touch of being. Pat Buchanan deserves a kick in the balls for writing that.

Pat's balls are made of steel....he had his shot and blew it.....and now the LBJ fan is making 4 times the money in the private (TV) sector shooting his mouth off and laughing all the way to the bank.

with W (dubya) ......M.....D..... salad dressing.

Just remember "all" the Australian guns were confiscated and destroyed.

'Well, George, I go in looking for prisoners,' said Perot, 'but I spend all my time discovering the government has been moving drugs around the world and is involved in illegal arms deals.... I can't get at the prisoners because of the corruption among our own people.'
