Check it out: [It's a flashing neon sign explaining so much about what has now become the situation in New Orleans]
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 4 - A day after two police suicides and the abrupt resignations or desertions of up to 200 police officers, defiant city officials on Sunday began offering five-day vacations - and even trips to Las Vegas - to the police, firefighters and city emergency workers and their families.

Jesse Jackson had a significant opportunity here to stand up and be a man. And to encourage others to do so, too. And to thank those who are.
Instead, he's (again) failed miserably.
The thing about the 'refugees' really strikes at the heart of the United States, racially, ethically, economically, spiritually, politically.
I am completely disgusted by his condescending, snotty comments. Just snotty, that's the only thing I can call them, and him, just completely snotty.
P.S.: Jackson needs to learn basic civics...IF and WHEN a governor of a state refuses to relinquish control of the National Guard and to request federal assistance, the rest of the country (as the federal government) can't just barge (pun, well...) into that state and announce they're taking control or otherwise "there to offer aid."
The nuttiness of Jackson is beyond dementia. He's just a corrupt person.
This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If one seeks refuge, they are a refugee. It has nothing to do with race. Gah! These people are idiots... what are they trying to do?
Jackson's and some others' objection to the accurate use of the word, "refugees," just as Jackson has evidenced, indicates RACIST DENIGRATION of people who are displaced in the country, outside the country, wherever.
It's just a word to describe a plight. The only racist element in the word is Jackson and others insisting the word describes a lesser-than human...Jackson reveals his OWN racism by saying that the word describes a "bad" human being to any degree.
The word just means that people were/are forced from their homes by unexpected, objectionable events and in need of relocation to safe, secure housing and living situations. I'd say that describes everyone rescued out of Louisiana and other affected areas.
They're giving the msm headlines to attack the Right.
If evacuees are living thousands of miles away, he said, they can't be in on the jobs and economic opportunities that will arise as their communities are rebuilt.
Maybe that's the plan..
Yeah, right.
Shut up, Jesse, you race-pimp. When people flee a war zone they are called "refugees". The Democrat cesspool of NO quickly became a war zone, and the people had to flee for their lives. That's why they can properly be called "refugees". Maybe a goodly portion of them will see life in the USA in a totally different way after getting out of their malignant life of dependency in NO. We can only pray that this was God's way out for them.
LOL!!
Refugees or Evacuees?
Check Post #76.
The only thing Rev. Jackson is doing is saving his meal ticket.
"Before this whole thing I had a complex about white people; this thing changed me forever," said Brant, 36, a truck driver who, like many of the refugees receiving public assistance in Houston, Texas, is black.

I don't know.
He may have made a contribution. He certainly needs to keep up appearances.
Excellent point. When the government owns you because it feeds, clothes, and medicates you, it can move you wherever it wishes you to go. That's the loss of freedom that goes with dependency. If only someone would answer Jesse, the race pimp, that way.
where is the new live thread ?
Right Jessee, put them in tents in Louisianna, keep them in large concentrations in misery where your sort can "lead" them. It worked to radicalize the Palestinis who left Israel why shouldn't it work for American Blacks.
Don't let them be spread to other parts of the country where they can be assimilated into functioning communities and escape the culture of entitlements, hate and hopelessness of New Orleans corruption.
Confirmed...She was lookin' fer the door after she met us...
Thank you so much for your unselfish committment to your fellow American. Are you working with a church group or local group that is taking donations? I'd like to know exactly where my money is spent before sending a dime.
