What is worse is that NO ONE from another country has offered so much as a kick in the ass to help our victims. NOT ONE!

What a load of crap! There is all sorts of aid, equipment, building teams, cash etc. being organized from every single provence in Canada. In fact, I was listening to a Canadian talk show yesterday: "They are our brothers and sisters, human being just like us, and need our help. In times like these we set aside politics and do what needs to be done as we have always done, and they have always done when we were in need". Is what the host ended the show with. An American hating lefty phoned in, and said that aid should be attached to political grievences. NOT ONE person who called into the show agreed, in fact it turned into a lefty bashing show, and how moraly bankrupt the left is. So, before you make rediculous statements, check to see if facts back it up.

But they are mere pikers when compared to the looters in the House and Senate.

Looters are stealing guns now...

Officials watched helplessly as looters around the city ransacked stores for food, clothing, appliances and guns.

"We don't like looters one bit, but first and foremost is search and rescue," Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Wednesday.

In the city's Carrollton section, which is on relatively high ground, looters commandeered a forklift and used it to push up the storm shutters and break the glass of a Rite-Aid pharmacy. The crowd stormed the store, carrying out so much ice, water and food that it dropped from their arms as they ran. The street was littered with packages of ramen noodles and other items.

New Orleans' homeland security chief, Terry Ebbert, said looters were breaking into stores all over town and stealing guns. He said there are gangs of armed men moving around the city.

The Times-Picayune newspaper reported that the gun section at a new Wal-Mart in the Lower Garden District had been cleaned out by looters.

Gunshots were heard throughout the night in Carrollton.

Police spokesman Marlon Defilo said an officer and a looter were wounded in a shootout. Defilo had no word on their condition. Three or four others were also arrested, he said.

One looter shot and wounded a fellow looter, who was taken to a hospital and survived.
