""If this was a foreign country, we would send billions of dollars without the red tape," said Frank King, president of a neighborhood association."

If these citizens were Black or some other skin color, the 0b0z0bots would have sent billions of $'s in help them.

ABCNNBCBS would have sent thousands of pseudo reporters in to interview every minority.

However, there appears to be no help for these people in spite of the billions thrown around by OBOZO, Congress and the 0B0Z0B0TS.

fyi and bump lists

Some of my wife’s relatives back in the Midwest have friends and relatives trying to live in this flooded area.

They have been basically ignored by the mediots and the rats in power.

Ditto for recent floods in North Dakota or even massive blizzards in recent years. The amount of federal aid to disasters would seem directly proportional to the percent of minorities and the activities of professional race baiters like Mayor Nagin, Al Sharpen etc. who are adept at playing the race card. Of course there is another factor for disasters in the Great Plains...the people who have always been self reliant and willing to help their neighbors. In both the Iowa and North Dakota floods we did not see looting like we saw in New Orleans. If local citizens were wading through waist deep water it was to help neighbors not to float out a case of Heinekin.

Yep, they get the same treatment as the white GM/Chrysler dealers get.

Thanks for posting this. I knew that it was bad in Texas post IKE, but not that bad.

We have received a few emails from relatives back in the midwest about how North Dakota was abandoned re recovery funds.

The Iowegian Farm-socialists voted for Hopey-changey. heck, they were the ones who made Stuttering Barry a viable Presidential candidate.

Sorry, but my give-a-darn function is on sleep mode right now.

Gov Perry has been campaigning FEMA and the Feds for assistance, and NO press coverage. There are numerous stories on the situation if you Google....

That seems to be another pattern with 0b0z0 when his white supporters need help. They get thrown under his massive bus.

Put not your trust in the federal government.

We no longer pay taxes, which are used to pay for necessary functions of government.

We now pay tribute, to keep the government from ruining our lives.

It is definitely there now. Of course certain Rat voting blocks, which contribute very little moneywise, are at the front of the pork feeding pens.

Incredible. Thanks for the ping.

Many of us tried to warn others when LBJ started the losing war on poverty, on what could be the result.

Your ping/link lets us see the reality of what the War on Poverty and the Post Katrina bs has resulted in.

We are now officially on the backside of the development curve and starting the decent into African third-world status. Money, jobs, assistance for the favored thugs that riot and destroy while at the same time nothing for the self-reliant hard working as all they get is blame for past ills.

Our trip on that curve speeds up each day.
