CNN Headline news reporter just stated that the military will not force folks from their homes. "Refusing to force Americans from their homes", said the noticeably British reporter. Further, they will not let residents deteriorate in their own homes. The military will continue to get water and food to those remaining in New Orleans, effectively undermining Nagin's mandatory evacuation order.
Assuming that you are white, sounds like Jesse, et al, are right.
This wouldn't be happening if the victims were white.
The army engineers should have used Nagin and Blanco to plug the levee. And then they could have lined up Reid, Pelosi Boxer, Fat Teddy etc... and used all their hot air to blow the water out of the basin and dry it out. Why didn't they think of that?
So they can bulldoze the city?
No food, no water, no electricity and no phone service to name a few...
If you OWN the home, you must have flood insurance if you are still paying for it. If you own it outright, you could drop the flood, but you deserve what you get living under sea level without insurance. If you live in gubmint housing, who cares? If it's a rent home, the landlord should have insurance. The gubmint can't sieze the lot that it's on,(except for maybe the new Supreme Ct ruling), but they can condemn the house as unfit to live in. That would be a total loss for insurance purposes.
I'm a hurricane Carla survivor from '61. That was the hurricane that started flood insurance pooling from the feds to reduce costs. Not many had flood insurance back then. If you live ANYWHERE on the coast and don't have it, shame on you. It's not that expensive. I think the limit is 16 ft ABOVE sea level, it's optional. I was over that in Seabrook Tx, but carried it anyway. Never flooded, but could have with a cat 4 or 5 storm. Even if you are 20ft high, you also have to take the 13 inch rainfall into consideration.
The liberals who refuse to evacuate? Seems to me they are independents who refuse to enter the giant maw of the gubmint and be ground to a pulp.
i love it! this mayor and governor are idiots that they could watch these people starve and dehydrate while they obviously are getting fed and watered themselves.....simply because they didnt want to encourage them to stay. if i remember correctly, it was their plan to set up these shelters. what were they thinking....the people could stay for a few hours and wade out?
thanks, beckysue.
amen, amen

Anybody just see this lady in New Orleans SHUT DOWN CNN blabbermouth Soledad O'Brien? It was awesome! The lady (whose name I forgot) said her ancestors settled in New Orleans and she's lived there all her life. She said her neighborhood was high and dry, she had running water, and she wasn't going to evacuate. She blasted CNN and the MSM for showing only shots of flooded New Orleans, saying they weren't showing the parts of the city that were dry and inhabitable. Then she blasted the NO city government for failing to implement its own evacuation plan and evacuate inner-city people using buses. O'Brien tried a few times to rebut the "New Orleans lady," but the lady SHUT HER DOWN and seized control of the interview. In the end, O'Brien agreed to take her TV crew to the lady's neighborhood and show that. This was GREAT!!!
