You are soooooo sweet and thanks, very much, for caring.

[oceanview]

he is putting it up again. I am not sure that this is the 2005 "you are on your own" letter. its something from 2002.

[Letitring]

Thanks for caring. It's been a wild ride, that's for certain.

We'll never be the same and our new influx of citizens are totally mind bending.

[Letitring]

Gasp! Smooches and Heyyyyyyyyyyy TomKat Kitty. :) It's good to see you.

[Howlin]

Putting it up again?

[mystery-ak]

"The local and state officials won't wiggle out of this one. Are you reading Ellesu's posts about the millions of dollars FEMA sent LA, that can't quite be accounted for. This is why the Clintons and their operatives are out there. They're trying to cover up what amounts to grand theft and criminal neglect, if not outright manslaughter. I call it murder, but I'm just looking at what these bums can be charged with."

You and I are on the same page re: the Clintons.

[Yellow Rose of Texas]

Has anyone noticed Democrats are no longer asking for an investigation?

'The majority of people who stayed there did so out of stupidity or because they wanted to loot'.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The majority of stupes yelling "where's mah water!" seemed to have forgotten their teef, didn't want to leave the dogs, or were TOO FAT to walk or even be trundled to a shelter. They were even too fat to be brought up in baskets. Where is their pride?

Oh I keep up with it and it makes me so mad. The one good thing from this disaster is the fact that Louisiana politicos are now getting national coverage. So much of this state just expects to get the shaft from govt. and they are apathetic. I can't tell you how much I am enjoying reading all the comments from everyone on these threads. With every post I read I am like YES! That's right! etc... I have so much more I could post, but it would take up 10 threads, lol. It will be so wonderful to hear Rush mention this crooked state on national radio for all to hear.

[OKIEDOC]

Thanks for the post.

I keep forgetting that not everyone posting on here has followed this thread from day one.

I have said some tough things about these smug elitists racists creeps and at this time can not think of any excuse to take back one word.

I am ashamed of what some liberals have tried to do with this disaster.

Only backs up what has been said by many FReepers that peoples lives don't mean doodle squat to liberals so long as they achieve their narrow minded political agendas.

Best of Luck and pray for our brothers displaced by the disaster.

[Letitring]

You are so sweet. It's GOOD to be here.

Not so sure about the sunshine, though I'm trying. :)

[oceanview]

yes, as a discussion point with this author regarding the predictions of what would happen if a hurricane hit new orleans.

[TheSpottedOwl]

The libs will still hate WalMart.

I dislike WalMart for several reasons, but I know when someone is doing a good thing. They've come through big time. Might have to shop there once in a while.

This NG member died trying to get there early. He's a hero.

We need to find out all that can be known about a guy named Josh E. Russell of MS.

This from:
http://www.clarionledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050905/NEWS0110/50905021/1260
"

• Josh E. Russell had spent a tour in Iraq, then switched to the National Guard from the Marine Corps so he could spend more time at home. The 27-year-old was killed when the Humvee he was riding in hit debris on a highway in Pearl River County, Miss.
  
  Russell was nervous about being called into action, sent into the teeth of the hurricane, said his widow, Jamie Russell.
  
  "He didn't want to go, because he knew it was going to be a bad storm. But he went, because that was his duty," she said.

Our local news in Indianapolis did a story on the hurricane victems that have arrived here and are being taken care of by the Red Cross..they are staying at a dormitory that can house up to 500.

It has wonderful beds, TV's, a full supply room of EVERTHING and a volunteer gets for each victem, whatever they need, whenever they need it.

They interviewed a man, a black man who had lost everything, and he was so sweet, so humbled by the generosity and comfort and care he was receiving...he has fallen in love with Indy (of course, winter hasn't arrived yet...lol) and I hope Indy falls in love with him.

In fact---I hope these people who have lost so much see an entire new world as a result of their displacement. I hope they see kindness and feel hope and safety and realize that life does not have to be full of dope runners, thugs and brutality.

[Soul Seeker]

Well, the politically tone deaf when released from her handlers Hillary, asked for one not too long ago. :-)

[Letitring]

Meridian, Ms.

[CedarDave]

Huh? Where did you get that? Are they just letting the MSM press carry the water?

If that is true the media would drop it, though they would continue to bash Bush.

[mystery-ak]

Mike's first stop is Baton Rouge, he doesn't know where he'll be after that...says he wants to go to Ms...LOL
