...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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Good post.

Many people have commented on the predominant ethnic character of the flood victims they saw on television. What I noticed was how overweight so many of them were. We must have the most overweight lower class in the world.

When my dog gets too heavy, I change his diet. I consider that humane. These Nawlins politicians see their grubstakes get fat and they just want to make them fatter. That should tell you a lot.

I see N.O. truly is the most European city in the USA.

This is coming to a city near you if the RATS take over again.

These pathetic, downtrodden people are acting just like those eight aquarium dolphins did-- they are so used to being taken care of by handlers (the government) they lost their natural instinct to care for themselves. Many of those dolphins lost 100 pounds because they couldn't catch fish in the ocean-- and one group was found because they were jumping out of the water, apparently doing tricks for nearby fishermen, in the hopes of getting some food from them.

How sad, yet predictable.

Eugenics is a pseudo-science

The problem is `socialist democracy'. The sooner it's swept into the dustbin, the better.

"As New Orleans is physically rebuilt, this political economy of poverty must be demolished"

But it won't be. Not when the rebuilding itself is just another gvt handout.

Those who would fall all over themselves to throw $ an NO should realize the part they play in enabling this cycle to continue.

Biloxi and the rural areas of costal Louisiana and Mississippi have similar ethnic makeup

Not true:

Biloxi:

White - 36177 - 71.43%
Black or African American - 9643 - 19.04%
American Indian and Alaska Native - 248 - 0.49%
Asian - 2590 - 5.11%

New Orleans:

White - 135956 - 28.05%
Black or African American - 325947 - 67.25%
American Indian and Alaska Native - 991 - 0.2%
Asian - 10972 - 2.26%

One of several questionable statements or concepts in this opinion piece, such as When Katrina hit, about 1,000 of New Orleans 1,500 police officers deserted their posts.

Welfare debilitates, no one is arguing with that, but what really motivated these looters was a sense of racial grievance, a fact that the author hints at but doesn't quite say. Such a sense of racial grievance would probably be present among blacks in any case but what really allows it break out so often and so virulently is its promotion by the liberal establishment. Black thugs and the black underclass are the physical and cultural stormtroopers of the left. Much black behavior, from the antics of so-called leaders like the Black Congressional Caucus to the baggy-pantsed-sideways-baseball-capped morons on the street should be mocked and ridiculed in the media, and would be if they were white. Had rap been non-black it would have been mocked out of existence by now. (All these things are manifestations of black separatism, BTW.) Instead this behavior prospers because it's treated with respect by the liberal establishment, and it's treated with respect not on its merits but because it is valuable to that establishment as a political, cultural and even physical weapon. That is what is important to understand.

Millions of dollars have been sent to New Orleans for decades, but they were siphoned off to various corrupt activities rather than being used to reinforce levies or build up emergency services.

Should be billions of dollars.
