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.)

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.

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 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.

Just wait for these hotel owners to send the government a bill for all the damages done to their rooms.

Her father drowned, and she has been back and forth to home identifying and burying his body.

I wonder how many times she had to go back to NO to do this. I mean, really . . . ???

This article paints with a pretty broad brush. Thousands of people were affected, and some for the rest of their lives. It will take years to recover from this disaster. My heart goes out to the victims. To focus on the minority of free-loaders diminishes the magnitude of this tragedy.

He said he has been offered a job at $10 an hour for 30 hours a week.

"I'm an evacuee. I ain't no refugee. That job offer is an insult!"

The deadline has sent many evacuees scrambling to find housing, but several nonprofit groups helping them say it will be difficult to move thousands of evacuees into new housing in a matter of weeks.

It hasn't been a matter of weeks, it's been a matter of months. It's only urgent now that there is a deadline.
