But don't forget...the Bush Administration created the Homeland Security dept which is over FEMA. Just another layer of government to screw up and they are screwing up BIG TIME!

The idea that the Government is the solution to everyone's problem sickens me!

I am starting to lose my temper at the media and RINO conservatives! Jeez, we have a Biblical event, 1,000,000 people displaced in three states (New Orleans is a not the only place this event happened!), a major city underwater, several smaller cities (but fairly large) wiped off the face of this planet, the largest oil port and pipelines shut down, rampant lawlessness due to a stupid mayor and governer, 1,000s dead and it FEMA fault because they haven't fixed the problem in a week?

There is nothing, I repeat nothing that could have prepared the United States of America for an event of this magnitude. If the great people of New Orleans weren't so damn dependent on the Guvvermint for everything, they would not this problem.

This problem was predicted for decades in New Orleans, why in the hell didn't they have stockpiles of rations in case of a major predicted event? Why didn't they use the monies for stupid programs like midnight basketball for making the levees stronger? Why didn't they have "shoot to kill" orders the very first day?

"Why didn't they use the monies for stupid programs like midnight basketball for making the levees stronger?"

The former mayor was just interviewed on Fox and didn't really answer until he shrugged and said "maybe they just thought stronger levees were too expensive"....but i couldn've sworn the interviewer said he was mayor AT THE TIME.

"Why didn't they have "shoot to kill" orders the very first day? "

The current mayor was ENCOURAGING looters to take what they needed that first day.

"Jeez, we have a Biblical event, 1,000,000 people displaced in three states (New Orleans is a not the only place this event happened!), a major city underwater, several smaller cities (but fairly large) wiped off the face of this planet, the largest oil port and pipelines shut down, rampant lawlessness due to a stupid mayor and governer, 1,000s dead and it FEMA fault because they haven't fixed the problem in a week?"

God bless you. Thank you for adding some rationality.
