The dishonesty and corruption of the MSM is only bested by the politicos of New Orleans and LA.

The Gov of the state is the only legal authority who can send in the NG. The President has to wait for the Gov to ASK for Fed help. The only exception to this is like in Arkansan in 1956. The Gov activated the guard to oppose a Supreme Court order to integrate their schools. Eisenhower (A REPUBLICAN by the way) sent in Regular Army troops to enforce the Courts ruling. The Gov of Louisiana STILL is refusing to ask for Regular Army troops as of 5:30 Central time Friday 9-2-05. Even CNN is reporting the facts that Gov of Louisiana did NOT ask for help until WENSDAY. Tell your leftist friends to actually LEARN something from this rather then cling so desperately to their hate.
Speaking of Saints, George Bush should be designated as such for perhaps saving thousands of poor people.
The mayor of New Orleans is looking more like he should be hung from one of the remaining oak trees.
I thought he had done that before Katrina hit. Nice to have the link.
Back to the top. IF you like an article and want it to be at the top of the list people see when they log in but don't have anything to add to the discussion. You say BTTT which causes the system to move it up the que.
Those in the MSM need to be reminded of this AP article.
He did. The link to the article this thread is linked to is timed Stamped 11:47 Am Sunday Aug 27th. BEFORE the Hurrican hit.
I don't have to change my screen name?
Oh, thanks! Sometimes it's hard to figure out all the acronyms.
Cool! Thanks!
From what I remember on FR Saturday, and perhaps FReepers can find the "evidence" threads (I'm getting some heavy lifting done around the house, you see), Nagin was in close consultation with his lawyers. Apparently, if they ordered a mandatory evacuation, the city would become liable for those who remained during the storm. It took them all that time to figure out that they would have the remaining citizens sign waivers of refusal to remove them of their liabilities, while at the same time calling for an evacuation -- on SUNDAY (a day after it became clear that NO was sitting dead red).
ADD: I looked at Katrina Live Thread III, and Nagin was telling people Saturday afternoon to BEGIN taking precautionary measures, and a VOLUNTARY evacuation went up soon thereafter.
Why not? The kitties need something to play with.
The entire article has been saved on this thread. CNN can pull their links and destroy this article.
However, it is here for the historians and us to use.
I'm working on that right now. Send me links and info.
For your indexing for future use to pound the lying rats.
Wow!!
