This long time Free Republic lurker has been sick with anger since this morning's (Sunday) talk shows.....and now this timeline!!
Every sentence tells another sad sad story. For whatever reason, my brain settled on this quote...
"Nagin said late Saturday that he’s having his legal staff look into whether he can order a mandatory evacuation of the city, a step he’s been hesitant to do because of potential liability on the part of the city for closing hotels and other businesses. “Come the first break of light in the morning, you may have the first mandatory evacuation of New Orleans,” Nagin told WWL-TV."
Wouldn't one expect that after 9/11 and all the federal money poured into major cities like New Orleans for preparedness, local officials would have been resolved issues like this long long ago. Seems to me the fact that this was a hurricane disaster really isn't the issue. What if it had been a terror attack?
Freepers, I'm so mad! All the discussions here are not being read by those that prefer to attack our President. My own neighbors are still telling me that "ALL" national guard of Louisianna are in Iraq. Doesn't matter that I tell them differently....They believe what they WANT to believe.
How does one get the truth out? I don't know where to begin but will do my part with some guidance.
Thank God for Freepers and Bloggers....all doing the footwork one would expect an investigative media to do themselves.
Hope I've not come across as a nut....although I admit I'm not in control of my anger right now!!!!!!
No, the nuts are on the other Democrat sites.
That is an understatement for many, at least for me. My blood pressure is up 30, literally. Thank you so much for what the media, all the media should be giving us. I have started watching the weather channel, I get weather along with the disaster reports, reports that are reasonable and well balanced. i.e. giving the real problem areas and also the good things happening.
You are so right and I've done my share of screaming at the TV with intermittent gasping hand wringing this past week. The fact is the truth will never change the minds of those who choose to perpetrate lies. That's the bad news. The good news is that they are the same people who hated Bush before and the same ones who will hate him tomorrow. Politically, NOTHING has changed. All the libs are still libs and all of us are still us...Thank God.
