NEW ORLEANS -- The bloodiest city in the country in 2006, reeling from crime in its struggle to recover from Hurricane Katrina, got even worse in 2007.

The criminal “justice” system does too have a role in what they’re experiencing.

I assume it will be necessary to cancel the BCS Championship then, right?

It is a civil war, a lost cause, a quagmire. We need to cut our losses and pull out now.

Ah, liberalism at its best. Perhaps we should just move all the N.O residents to Wash DC. They’ll be right at home there. Of course, they’ll have to put up with the even less moral ethics of our congresscritters and senators.

New Orleans is higher percentage wise in murders than all of Iraq last year. Approx 61 per 100,000 Iraq and 63.5 per 100,000 New Orleans.

Yep, this town’s a mess and not because of the Hurricane but Because of Democrats.

And it’s 34 degrees on a city by the Gulf Coast surrounded by a lake and swamps. Global warming? lol lol lol. Global warming is a hoax created by the liberal mainstream media.

Sometimes I feel like I’m the only conservative who believes in limited constitutional government,individual rights, property rights, gun rights, low taxes, is pro-lifeand is for deporting illegals. Most of these people are begging for more government handouts and killing.

At least the Vietnamese community in New Orleans East rebuilt in a few months after the hurricane without asking for government help. Don’t know if they are Republicans but they sure do work hard.

Must have. I was there on a working mission trip just a few weeks ago and there are tens of thousands of home still vacant and in ruins, including the projects. There are hundreds of businesses still closed, too.

And it’s 34 degrees Farenheit on a city by the Gulf Coast surrounded by a lake and swamps. Global warming? lol lol lol. Global warming is a hoax created by the liberal mainstream media. Although it is below zero in some of the northern states. Thank God for global warming or else these people would be even colder lol.

“New Orleans is higher percentage wise in murders than all of Iraq last year. Approx 61 per 100,000 Iraq and 63.5 per 100,000 New Orleans.”

This article says the murder rate in New Orleans is 71 per 100,000.

If I never hear another word about New Orleans, Katrina, K-ville or the Chocolate city it will be fine with me.

No wonder they called it the Big Easy. It was easy as @#$% for the welfare generations to sit on their fat @$$e$ and let the US taxpayers pay for levees that were never maintained and upgraded.

But at least they had 500 phantom Police Officers that didn't exist. There's not many other dem controlled cess pools that can boast that!
