No we didn't. The poor gave up on themselves. Poverty in most cases results in a series of pour choices backed by low motivation. There are a number of self-perpetuating folkways in the black communities that hold that their race is inferior and it is pointless to try to beat the system by ordinary means.
Here's an idea. All of these now homeless and poor people can now have a way to earn there welfare dollars. Community service. Put them to work on the cleanup. That is once it is deemed environmetally safe.
If they can father and give birth to checks, um children, they can aid in the cleanup and take some pride in what they do.
James Lee Witt was Clinton's FEMA director. Allbaugh was Bush's. And he was Brown's roommate. Look it up. It's a fact. Those are tough to spin.
At little cost to the leftists, they now can pretend that they care about the very people they've ignored and taken forgranted for a 100 years. The people from New Orleans have been lazy and obediaent since FDR and have passively relied on the local government and dem party for everything. These are the folks that Mexicans take jobs away from. These field African-Americans aren't going to be less passive where ever they go. They will leach off local governments, churchs and individuals as much as they can before lapsing into the inevitable complaints (can't you see the guy looking at his shoes, his mouth seemingly full of grits) about not being given whatever the day's claim is because he is black.No, the leftists will make hay of the victimhood of these blacks pawns for months with every problem, being W's fault and existing only because these folks are blacks. The only saving grace will be that the leftists have a tin ear and overbelieve their own crap.
I must have missed America's Tricentennial celebration. The fireworks must have been awesome.
Most have $ 50.00 or more in their pockets, but don't want to use their own money. They expected SOMEONE to give them handouts as before or SOMEONE else to come and take them away on SOMEONE else's nickle,
I think he held a grudge. Chuck Berry has always been my main man as far as rock is concerned; brilliant songwriter and guitarist - he practically wrote the book on rock guitar - but total jackass otherwise. Kind of a Rockabilly/R&B Amadeus.
Brown will be the first one to leave from this incident. Bush doesn't seem to fire anyone, but I suspect his resignation before the year end.
P.S. welcome to FR
Pretty funny and apt comparison.
She looks just like Oprah...to me.
The 145 buses in this photo is in addition to the 450 buses in the photo by AP and on the politicalteen.com web site.
The first settlements were in the 17th century; there was an "America" for well over 100 years before there was a "United States of."
Anybody got a shovel?
That's true, But they were probably up on blocks.
This tripe from "American" Communist ba$tards DEFINITELY begs the "why are you still here?" question.
Yeah, in the officially published song lyrics he did. But that's not how he sang it! And it was mixed somewhat unintelligible.
Yes, I know. But, were they not Brittish citizens (or other countries), not "Americans"? I guess this is a semantic argument that I will lose. Damn you.
This guy admiots he only knows prosperity, but from his comfy armchair he scolds. "If you're somebody like Brown, it's awfully easy to forget that there are people too poor to have a car, a credit card or a checking account, people stranded outside the magic circle, people without friends in high places. Brown has been doing disasters 24/7 for three years. Who do you think knows and understands the most?
The unintelligle work is CLOSE. I heard it most clearly yesterday.
