Just read my posts for the last month. It has frustrated me to no end that most people on this web site continue to refer to all New Orleanians as lazy,greedy,decadent, ungratefull ingrates.They think all New Orleans consists of is the French Quarter, Garden District, the Port and housing projects full of welfare slugs waiting for the government check.I've read posts that say very few of us are homeowners.Ive read posts that say we are too lazy to come back to clean our homes waiting for the elegals to do it for us. I've read posts that say we are not worthy of tax payer dollars to help us back on our feet. They say we are not worthy of help at all. They say we are stupid for living where we do. They say we would be stupid to try and rebuild our homes.I've read posts that say they ought to pave over the city or let the swamp reclaim the land. Several have said they don't give a crap about us anymore.

The truth SweetCaroline is that New Orleans does not flood every year. This is the first time I have had water in my house in my life time,49 years.The truth is that New Orleans is made up of tens of thousand s of good decent people just trying to survive a disaster the likes of this country has never seen before.80 % of the homes in this city was flooded. There is still no electricity, grocery stoors, gas stations, hospitals, doctors, or schools.This was a man made disaster. We survived the hurricane but not the criminal incompetence of the Army Corps of Engineers who designed and built the levees that broke.How would any of you people feel if your entire lives were turned completely upside down over night by the gross negligence of a government agency. And then log onto a web site that for years you have considered a safe haven of like minded souls only to read the crap I've read since Katrina? Thats been almost as hard to take as the total destruction of my city.

And no WasDougsLamb I don't spend all day laying around.I spend all day at my house trying to save whats left of my home.

---Then as my last post to you said, it DID NOT pertain to you and I didn't appreciate being called ignorant when my post was about the ones who ARE not trying to help themselves. From now on read my post and if it doesn't pertain to you, then go on to the next one. Being rude will not change ANYONES opinion.

Saints fan, I know there are those who have said all those things, because I have read the posts. May I apologize for their shortsightedness. Please understand there are also many compassionate people here that do care and that are concerned.

Those of us living in California get similar negative posts also. It makes me feel bad because I know there are many hard working conservative that live in this great state and I know there are more here on FreeRepublic that don't feel that way.

We need to understand it's not us the posters are upset about, but the liberal whiners and Government dependents who expect the state and Federal government to take care of their every need that the posters are attacking.

What circumstance in your life is so drastic that you can go to an agency of force to come to me and take my money?

NONE!

Sorry that Katrina and crooked politicians wiped you out.

Move. Even without any flood waters in your home, your city has been devastated by the politicians that have run your city and state for years.

You knew that there was a risk and the chance of a flood, no matter how slight. Did you buy flood insurance?

I just don't know why you think that anyone else is responsible for you plight.

I'm not sorry if this sounds insensitive. It wasn't meant to be.
