How did that saying go? "God helps those that help themselves...?" Seems to sum up the displeasure with these freeloading captive democratic vote machine sprockets.

Bush's Fault! $300,000,000.00 is not enough. If he really cared about people of color, he should be a leader and guarentee them lifetime housing assistance at the Mariott of their choice.

"They drink and smoke marijuana all night. Don't work or go to school,"

A friend of mine is a Baptist Minister, he rented a van, drove to NO to drop off food, clothing and blankets a week or two after the hurricane. There was also room for 6 to come back to Buffalo with him, a place to stay, etc...
Not one person wanted to leave, they were all cozy in their big tent, watching TV and eating at the buffet table that was all set up and manned by the local Baptist Church.

My friend Lenny was disgusted at their lack of any desire to help themselves. He drove back here with an empty van.

We know the real answer, its Bush's fault! He should have put these people up at his ranch and taken care of them with all his Oil money. Why is he president if he can't take care of all these people and give them freebies for life? Clinton never had this problem, had it occurred during his time certainly he would have had all of them moved into his trailer. (SARC. of course.)

"He said he has been offered a job at $10 an hour for 30 hours a week. But he said his time was better spent working with insurance companies, applying for loans and searching out a new location for his business in metro Atlanta."
Working 30 hours a week would seem to leave a lot of time to do the other things listed.

Where are all the nightly reports on the MSM about the drinking pot smoking goof balls who don't work, want more money, MO' free stuff!

This shouldn't be a surprise. All sensible sources said this was mostly a shiftless bum rot group of worthless scum.

New Orleans has always carried its load of "Dead Weight," people who simply DO NOT LIKE TO WORK. Among these people are the Young and Old and Black and White. I have always called New Orleans a "Den of Slack."

However, now that Katrina has pushed the Dead Weight out of New Orleans the City will have a much better chance to be reborn in greatness.

But first, Baton Rouge must kill the Welfare State that has become Louisiana and then let the rest of the country shoulder its burden by taking in the Refugees that Katrina created.

I donated blood through The Red Cross for the cause, but I did not donate dime-one to this effort.

Call me jaded, but I knew what was ahead of us.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for these people from N.O.
We were poor when I was growing....many in the public housing project where I lived were poor.....bu poor then, meant the breadwinner lost his job. He was looking and ashamed to be living on assistance programs.
Not these N.O. leeches...most of them never worked in their lives, have lived off the taxpayer from birth.
When I look at them losers.

You know what? I want to know what happened to the Heineken guy. There's got to be an interesting story with that one.

The MSM cries foul every time FEMA tries to stop paying for the hotels.

I have a "poor" 21 year old grand son. Sorry to say but he is going to be poor all of his life, unless he learns the relationship between working and having things.

The use of the word 'victim' by the media and citizen drones is overused.

If you look at the definition of 'victim', then the rising price of gas or milk makes us all victims.

To be a victim you only need to be adversley affected.

I was adversly affected when I ran out of Vanilla extract on Thursday.

I guess that makes me a victim...

Message to Katrina 'survivors': Get off your arse, and go to work.

It used to be the day people were ashamed to be on welfare, today they brag about it. That along with being section 8, collecting SSI, heap, food stamps, living off the dime of the taxpayers is a way of life.

In the mean time, we fight to work, pay bills and do everything humanly possible to keep our heads above water. Ain't easy in Buffalo where there is no jobs, and taxes the highest in the country.

I have to balance the fact these people did suffer a tragedy in a natural disaster, maybe lost their house, job or business. But obviously many were welfare cases and the MSM has no desire to reveal that story - people who are unproductive, ungrateful, and expect the government (meaning us) to give them their entire lives, FOC.

"It just adds to the hurt. It doesn't help," said Mike Washington, who lost his home and print shop in the New Orleans flood.

If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.
