Just remember, some liberals are so stupid that their sole reason for existing is to remind us that evolution can sometimes go backwards.

OK, our office is shutting down at 11:00 CST. Things are getting quite blustery here in Jackson.

Still attacking the Leader who will actually defend the Nation and defending the Treasonous PoS who seriously damaged National Security I see. But those in the Traitor Party could care less about protecting the United States.

The FNC infobabe said, "Bil-OCKS-y",
then corrected herself, and pronounced it right!

I never thought I would see the day...

Here is a good website with eyewitness accounts and stories from the storm:

Nola.com

I think I heard on the radio that the lower 9th Ward is flooded. Does anyone know?

Here are some excerpts:

Floodwaters are starting to become a problem in Orleans Parish, with 6 to 8 feet of water collecting in the Lower 9th Ward, state officials said at a briefing Monday just before 9 a.m. ...

On the north side of Judge Perez Drive (In Chalmette), waters had risen as high as 10 feet, he said. Boasso, who lives in Chalmette, said he has been in touch with Council Chairman Joey DiFatta...

Even Entergy without power

Power outages seem to have have hit almost everyone in the city, even Entergy New Orleans' command center at the Hyatt Regency Hotel next to the Superdome.

Though I feel sorry for those whose property has been/will be destroyed by Katrina, I am equally outraged by President Bush and the entitlement mentality in this country which supports the notion that the federal government exists to provide "disaster relief".

FEMA, as well as any "aid" distributed by President Bush is socialism at its finest, and I oppose any and all attempts to use tax dollars for such purposes.

If it truly were in the best interest of Americans to help the people and businesses of New Orleans rebuild their damaged property, we would gladly pitch in and help.

But, for the federal government to march in and allocate tax dollars from my wallet into the wallets of other Americans is no less egregious that the Kelo v. New London decision.

"Perhaps the prayers of just a few were enough for the Almighty to spare the city. "

I was thinking the same thing!

I was in a disaster zone some 24 years ago. The people who were hit by it said the biggest disaster was FEMA itself.

Like I said, I'm very glad to help those in Katrina's path in whatever way I choose and am able.

However, taking property from one private citizen and giving it to another for any reason outside the specifically enumerated items in Article I of the Constitution is totally Unconstitutional, and therefore illegal.

It is sad that too many of the Bushbots/Hush Bimbo kool-aid drinkers don't/won't see it because they think the President actually cares about conservative social issues, and therefore his big government, out of control fiscal policies continue unabated.

How else can you explain the biggest non-defense spending increases in 40 years, other than by concluding that George Bush and his "neocon" ideologue aides are no less socialists than LBJ or FDR?

I am from New Orleans but do not think that the prayers of people in New Orleans are stronger than the prayers of Biloxi.

But for now, I will be thankful but someday New Orleans will go under.
