Makes sense.

It’s just going to flood again.

Stick that up your arse, Obama.

Finally someone is challenging the myth that the government’s initial response to Katrina was an unmitigated disaster. Deaths were approximately 3% of pre-storm predictions, and by usual standards that would be considered a tremendous success. It was a massive effort, involving evacuating, feeding, and sheltering 800,000 people in about 48 hours. To expect this to go off without a hitch would be typical of partisan Democrats and their cheerleaders in the media.

"I see young people who might have fallen into a hopeless cycle of dependency on government welfare, now finding fulfillment in the hard work of rebuilding New Orleans."

Oh Duncan! Ouch! "Hard work?" You just lost the Katrina Holocaust crowd with that foul comment.

Seriously, he speaks logic and truth instead of pandering to these "victims!" Get up off your butts and build that damn city! You got the money! Now quit crying and work!

Duncan Hunter on Katrina

Oh no, not another sex scandal..!

 

[cripplecreek]

Hunter ping for the Hunterites.

[WalterSkinner]

..IMO the only way N.O. could be saved is for it to first be destroyed—DH is speaking with hope and optimism—like a President should...

[Natchez Hawk]

Good article, and good points. The main problem now is not $, that has been allocated, it is getting to homeowners. And that is the fault of the “Road Home” program. It’s obviously a hard decision for the federal gov. to administer a program the state gov. should be able to—but that is what should have happened here.

What a breath of fresh air.

BTTT for Hunter!

He’s quite eloquent.

If the One Year Anniversary of Katrina was any indication, too much of the national media attention this week will be focused on the Lower 9th Ward, and not enough on the rest of the city. This is not to minimize the on-going tragedy that it the L9, but rather to seek a more fair and balanced look at the recovery.

We Photograph, You Decide
The photo galleries on this page are an accurate reflection of what New Orleans looks like right now. The pictures were, with a very few exceptions, taken since this past April.

This first set of galleries are from neighborhoods in Orleans Parish that were not flooded in Katrina. As you might expect these neighborhoods look much like they did before Katrina.

no nation has as many citizens willing to share what they have with their fellow man as this blessed land called America

This should be what the world thinks about when it recalls Katrina. The 'rat leaders and the MSM would prefer they think that Bush is incompetent instead. They love power more than anything, their country included. I really like Duncan Hunter.

"I see top notch school administrators and educators picking up the challenge of Americans in New Orleans"...

I was okay with it up to this. I had to stop reading before the inevitable "We're from the government and we're here to help you."

I'd rather read Duncan talking about borders, fences, China, trade imbalance, etc.

[Graymatter]

Well that’s more like it (what we expect from DH)!

In the Reuters article quoted at this thread

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1887662/posts

Hunter is mentioned thus:

“Hunter, a U.S. representative from California, said Katrina had proven that ‘government is inept.’ “

Arguably worse than not mentioning Hunter at all, it leaves one with the impression that DH is just another politician who thinks the govt needs to do more, cost more, and be a better nanny.

[wastedyears]

He is the man for the job, right now. I fear if we don't elect a Conservative, our streets will run red with blood.

But I saw a different story. It was the story of the great National Guard troops who we found holding the city together, the law enforcement personnel, and the fireman and rescue workers from all over the United States who interrupted their lives to rush to help the people of New Orleans. It was the huge team of volunteers I saw at Houma who were operating the rescue center to clothe, feed and care for people. It was the huge room of clothes stacked so high, with a sign that said, “Please no more clothes are needed.”

You mean the media was lying to me ?????? Say it isn't so !!!!

[Calpernia]

Bump for Duncan Hunter!

[Paperdoll]

An excellent speech, leaving out nothing! Rep Hunter is THE MAN!
