Yes Rep Jackson Lee, I agree. The welfare state has most definitely failed.
I hope a lot of these people gain new lives from a culture of self reliance and hope.
Which Jackson speech was better? The one right after the hurricaine warning asking people not to loot, or resort to violence, and to cooperate with authorities?
After New Orleans is drained and the levees reinforced, developers will build high priced waterfront homes on the land that once was home to New Orleans' poor.
You freak. You're worried about a word. A WORD! Your socialist program failed, Jesse. Time to grow up.

"Coal mines encounter shortage of workers . . . . Miners can start at $40,000 to $50,000 but can make as much as $100,000 "
I've been very interested to see how the response is (by New Orleans local gov't) to send transportation for their displaced residents - once they've been cleared to return.
"The decision not to let them in was not sound," Jackson said. "The danger was exaggerated."
RIGHT Mister Jackson, mobs with guns would clearly be an exaggerated lie. Of Course you didn't bother to hit the streets huh bro???

U.S. Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee, D-Houston and U.S. Rep. Al Green, D-Houston, also said the Federal Emergency Management Agency left New Orleans unprotected....
How in the hell does someone as ignorant as Shelis Jackson and Al Green get elected (ok I know). Perhaps it was the failure of the Democratic Governor, and Democratic Mayor's inaction. I believe it was their job to sound the alarm, and the Governor's job to call out the National Guard.
He ought to explain how/why that would be or STFU.
"Refugees, refugees refugees, refugees" -- can too say it. Come and get me. It's a great English word, used for a zillion years for people who are done in by a storm, war, disease and FLEE. You idiot, Jesse.
I think the best thing that can happen to these REFUGEES is to be sent to Texas. Texas, I suspect, is not a welfare on-the-dole state, nor do they look kindly upon people who won't lift a finger. Perhaps the Texas Gov can teach some of these REFUGEES a different sort of life. For which they will thank him after the shock wears off.
Like that black reporter who went to Africa (as a bleeding-heart), came back to the US and kissed the ground and said, "I am SO THANKFUL my forebears were taken from Africa as slaves and I could grow up here."

That's cute! I'm an Australian, just yesterday I said to my husband 'the further from NO they take the evacuees the better their chances of becoming Americans are going to be' ... looks like what appeals to us terrifies some people!
Um, ... almost not worth commenting on other than to say that Rev.(?) Jackson ceased being relevant a long time ago, ... too many skeletons in his own closet. He should park his jet and donate the fuel money, ... a lot more would be accomplished. ... Jackson Lee is a Maxine Waters wannabe, ... the Rep. job is not so much about service as it it about ego stroking, circulating in certain circles, and "stylin'" in D.C. But that could be said about most of the D.C. politicos.
ROTFL!
I am trying to figure out how to pronounce that one!
Imagine the praise he would be giving the President were he Al Gore or John Kerry, or fellow playboy Clinton!
Refugee Jackson.
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?
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..
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.
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.
