It was a huge mistake to send the first red cent in fed aid to Katrina "victims". They chose to live BELOW sea level, at the coast in a hurricane prone area. Had the NO community pulled together, and rebuilt their community on their own, they would have been able to to build a community at the same time they were building homes. They would have had something to be proud of when they were done.

Now, there will NEVER be enough federal money given to those leaches to make them happy.

What has become of the American spirit?

It's alive and well.

Liberal politicians are dead set on convincing us all that this isn't the case however.

Waiting for the government to rescue people from a natural disaster is like waiting for Godot. You will live in a FEMA trailer for the rest of your life before the government helps you to rebuild your life. Moral of Katrina? Its best to do it yourself. Its both cheaper and faster.

Considering all the talk about housing bailouts I am beginning to wonder. There is no doubt the federal government is way too big.

Katrina was TWO years ago.

As Bill Clinton, X42, once said: "Let's move on."

Judging from Katrina ... I wonder what is going to happen when Al Qaeda sets off nukes in three or four cities.

The democrats are all whipped into looking and waiting for mother government to provide. The rest of us are the ones actually getting things done.

IMHO one has a responsibility to ones self, ones family and friends, their community and their nation...........

... Katrina revealed that there were very few responsible citizens in the NOLA region and many many more in the Mississippi regions hit as hard if not harder by the cane.

Perfect example of a welfare state IMHO.....aka baby bird feed me mindset.

Doom on those who take but never give. NOLA was infested with em.

For contrast, the Denver blizzard of 2006:

---------------------------------

Denver Post: This text is from a county emergency manager out in the central part of Colorado after today’s snowstorm.

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a Historic event--- may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical Proportions" with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks, closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power to 10's of thousands.

FYI: George Bush did not come.

FEMA did nothing.

No one howled for the government.

No one blamed the government.

No one even uttered an expletive on TV.

Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.

Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.

Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.

No one looted.

Nobody - I mean Nobody demanded the government do something.

Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.

No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.

No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types to be found.

Nope, we just melted the snow for water. Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow engulfed cars.

The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and didn't ask for a penny.

Local restaurants made food and the police and firemen delivered it to the snowbound families. Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.

We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or Coleman lanterns.

We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is "Work or Die".

We did not wait for some affirmative action government to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks. Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social problems evaporate." It does seem that way, at least to me. I hope this gets passed on.

Maybe SOME people will get the message. The world does Not owe you a living.

...do the math - if a billion and a half dollars was given to NO - and the original city had 500,000 residents, how much would every man woman and child receive had the money been distributed equally?

No, we’re not a nation of Katrina whiners, but the RATS and their stooges in the MSM wish we were.

The story of Katrina is a story of stupidity.

We have advanced technology and communication to the point people were told in advance what was going to happen to their communities and chose to ignore the highly accurate predictions.

The same disasters will happen again and they are still rebuilding below sea level and on beaches certain to be hit again by future hurricanes.

It's madness.

The whole thing has a Darwinian feel to it.

People too dumb to react to such obvious danger don't deserve to survive.

There is no constitutional right to be protected from death-defying risks you choose to take.

In the FYI, FWIW dept:

Easier way for the Big Easy--The grand total is $127 billion (including tax relief). That's right: a monstrous $127 billion. Of course, not a single media story has highlighted this gargantuan government-spending figure. But that number came straight from the White House... This is an outrage. The entire GDP of the state of Louisiana is only $141 billion...

1) Katrina did NOT “HIT” New Orleans. It missed the city and the levees failed a day afterward. GROSS INCOMPETENCE of dim-O-rat government left blank-O and landrieu looking like deer caught in the headlights. dims killed New Orleanians just a surely as Katrina’s rising waters did!

2) In Mississippi, 26 miles of beach-front properties were completely destroyed... Everything is gone from the beach, North to the railroad tracks... wiped clean... only slabs and in some cases it took the slabs too... it took the trees... it took the streets... it pulled the water pipe system out of the ground... it took fire hydrants... it left nothing but debris and the stench of death... but Mississippi was cleaning up the same afternoon Katrina passed by. We are building back smarter and wiser... in most cases people are selling the beach-front property to commercial developers and building inland. Do we get mentioned in this article’s opening? No! As Rush says... “It does not further their story line”!

3) SCREW ALL OF THE MEDIA AND EVERY LAST EVILCRAT ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tell them LLS says that, “They are lying sumbiches”!
