I'm curious. I am not blaming anybody, but the question has to be asked...is there NO PLAN for evacuation?

This is insanity.

Maybe if the fathers of all those babies weren't shooting at rescue personnel, things would get going...

is there NO PLAN for evacuation?

Mrs. BJC and I go to Nawlins at least once a year. Evac routes are clearly marked on highways. We got some free maps from the tourist center that also gave directions for evac. If these people wanted out they could've gotten out.

From what I've heard the mayor didn't call for an evacuation soon enough AND didn't change inbound lanes to outbound for the evac. But still, I would figure someone living there would know where to go.

I think there is a plan. It's just not a very good one.

How do force a population to evacuate if they won't?
Some couldn't but many more wouldn't.

...is there NO PLAN for evacuation?

Apparently the pols in NO have been too busy raking in the graft for the past umpteen years, just assuming this wouldn't happen. It is obvious there was no plan in place for anything except the instructions, "head for the Silverdome!"

There is a lesson to be learned here - other than "do not elect crooked Liberals". That lesson is,... owning a vehicle and having gasoline gives you a measure of freedom. Freedom to escape a disaster like this, freedom to leave the city without the aid of your city government, freedom to flee for your lives if necessary.

Forget for a second about those who either stayed to protect their property or else mistakenly thought nothing could possibly happen. A huge portion of these people you see are not these people. Instead, what we see exhibited here are wards of the state. They get welfare checks, "free" medical care, city transportation, housing or housing subsidies and numerous other "services". All they have to do is show up at the polls and keep voting in their crooked benefactors. But, what they don't have is the freedom to get out of their self-imposed trap. They have become slaves to their warders and their own lusts.

And now this...

This is the vision Liberals have for all of us. They want us all to be herded in to central cities just like these people, living in apartment blocks, dependent on "public" transportation and personally disarmed. They also want to the rest of the country to return to a pristine condition which would then be a resort and playground for themselves.

This is about freedom, folks. You see what happens when you don't have it but have to depend entirely upon your friendly politicians and bureaucrats!

Every time you pull up to that empty gas pump in the coming days, think about it. This isn't just about "alternative energy" and preventing global warming these people are braying about. It is about your freedom to escape their predatory clutches and mind-numbing control freak ways.

Our available gasoline and our automobiles are an essential part of our freedom. Liberals and their environmentalis buddies want to all that away so they can control your lives and fortunes for their benefit and utopian schemes.
