...children are raised by a parent who is herself completely at the mercy of "the system." To the child, the government’s power and responsibility looms larger than mom’s and the father is usually nowhere in sight.

The father's place at the table has been taken over by the federal government.

What is it that bends and twists the soul of man in New Orleans such that he shoots at his rescuers, steals televisions while others drown, and then blames all and sundry for not helping enough?

Poor genetics.

Nothing warps human nature like the belief in "being owed"

Well said.

Study up on the Cloward-Piven Strategy. That's an eye-opener.

Poor genetics.

What does the welfare mentality have to do with genetics?

because American women have sold their souls to NOW, and their socialistic agenda.

The Socialist's in America, "The New Slave Owners".

So that makes the "New Slave Masters" the leaders of the Democrat Party.

Why isn't the NAACP, Rainbow-Push, the ACLU and other organizations outraged at all the white people running around shooting-looting in New Orleans after Katrina passed by? Oh wait...

Well at least they kept the status quo of crying for the Federal Govt to come in and bail out their sorry butts, and that includes the LA Govt from the Senators, Governors on down to the dog catcher.

Ahhhh.....reaping the fine benefits of federal handouts to people who don't need it, affirmative action, yadayadayada...yes indeed....it is truly a pleasure to watch...

Just keep on going, Democrats. You'll turn out society into a cesspool yet.

I thought there was a five-year limit on welfare...? With exceptions of some kind?

New Orleans remains a city where over 100,000 people cannot afford their own car

But this same group can afford $100. sneakers, cell phones for the whole family, large screen TV's where they watch cable and play games. Plus they send their kids to school with wads of money in their pockets so they can buy soft drinks and chips for lunch instead of eating the "slop" the schools serve them for free!

The black principal of the inner city school in New Orleans where my sister teaches once told her she should never feel sorry for the kids at that school because they have more discretionary spending money than the teachers have.

Democrats invented welfare to ensure Blacks remained oppressed after Civil Rights legislation passed. I am not suprised to see it has worked. New Orleans seems to be lagging most of the rest of the nation in shaking this oppression.

I agree with the author, the "being owed" mentality destroys all hope and opportunity.

Visit an Indian reservation and you will see the same situation..total dependency on government handouts have created a culture of drug addiction, alcoholism, gang warfare and despair.

"The Socialist's in America, 'The New Slave Owners'."

This is truly the mentality of those pushing Socialism. The Democrats, slave owners of the 1800s; housing, feeding, and caring for slaves that in their minds eyes cannot care for themselves, have evolved, through force of civil war, to become master of another sort. Today they feed, house, and care for those whom "they" feel cannot fend for themselves.

I fear that once again, Republicans, like President Lincoln, must step in and do whatever it takes to break the back of the master mentality (which is alway decried as harming the slave).

Being set free is always a difficult path but one that is always necessary.

Similar behavior can be seen in the Islamicized Parisian suburbs and the Gaza strip- both locales where substantial portions of the population live on the dole.

I have read about it. Would you agree it suggests the same? The end result suggested certainly looks a lot like what we saw in NO. I am of strong belief that welfare creates the poverty and oppression it seeks to cure.
