Does anyone remember Katrina?

In New Orleans things are still not done.
In Mississippi, Haley Barbour and the people did not wait for a bail out.
Thet commenced to fixing things immediately and settled the bills later.

I couldn’t agree more.

Do you ever notice the liberal areas stay “devastated” by natural disasters for years if not decades?

Mississippi rebuilt within a couple of years. The Joplin, Missouri tornado and Tennessee floods happened within the last few years and they’ve already rebuilt.

Huge blizzards pound the Plains states all the time. Here in Texas the forest fires burned millions of acres and yet we’ve already rebuilt and moved on...yet seven years later the Katrina-New Orleans narrative continues.

What’s the common denominator? New Orleans, New York are governed by liberals..areas that rely on the government while the other areas did receive some help from the government to be sure but didn’t just wait for help to arrive while doing nothing.

I followed the whole thing like an obsessed person. I wasn’t working and follow it almost 24/7. I never thought President Bush did a terrible job and in fact, his handling of it was pretty good considering the magnitude. They were rescuing people the first day as soon as they could get helicopters up. They were air dropping food and water by the third day. Texas rushed in to NO with buses and evacuated them to our state and Oklahoma.

I agree that Miss. was much better prepared and handled the whole thing hundreds of times better than NO...but go figure..the people in NO are dependent on government and had dem politicians gumming up the works.

It would be interesting to go back in the FR archives and read the hourly play by play. I remember taking part in that thread. The truth lives on that thread.
