I find no malice and nothing that I would call negligence in the reactions and policies of those responsible for public safety. I see great amounts of negligence in those responsible for their own safety. There was time - the warnings were issued. Many people simply chose not to listen. So now we will help, and we will pray. And some, as always, will blame before they do anything else.

Amen to that. No need to blame the officials just because they're Democrats. In the end, people left who wanted to and people stayed who wanted to. And since we are America, we don't leave people to suffer the consequences of their foolish choices. We are compassionate and bail them out. It's what we do.

I'm blaming them because they're morons - not Democrats. I'd be taking the same position regardless of political affiliation.

Cheers to that! That's what we do...it's who we are...it's what sets us apart from the rest.
