Many of these are Gibsmedats transplanted in Houston after they sat on their butts waiting for someone to rescue them and their children after the levies broke (due to Democrat negligence) post- Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
They still have that mentality, but they will find that most Texas politicians are not as magnanimous as Rick Perry was when he invited this bunch of dependents into Houston. That was really stupid, because they never left. The only bright spot was that some Texas schools got several great football players out of that deal, always a plus in Texas!
Noticed Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was right there up front today with the new Houston Mayor. In spite of the non-stop TV coverage have not heard anyone raising any questions about why so few had any Go Bags ready with some basic supplies. Somebody needs to remind these folks and the press that the Good Lord helps those that help themselves.
One Christmas gift I got for every driver in our family to keep in their car was a tool that allows a window to be broken from the inside to allow egress in an emergency. Just no reason for anyone to drown like several have when an inexpensive simple solution is available.
Houston just does not have the financial resources this time around to help all these people. The press has been clamoring for a solution to the flooding issues. As long as they continue building something on every blade of grass just to increase tax revenue and considering that the city is not much above sea level this is going to continue happening.
