Dubya is going to end up being the hero in this.
Anyone whose post-attack survival depends on the government is a fool. Have a disaster kit, and plan for at least a week without help. Arm yourself. Look out for your neighbors, and help those you can. People need to be able to take care of themselves for a LEAST a few days.
BTTT!
For all MEDIA as you prepare the Sunday talk Shows... Here is the research YOU WON'T DO..!
Quick summary:
The state of emergency was declared on Friday. Katrina was forecast to make landfall in Louisiana as a Category 4 storm as of Friday at 7:00 PM CDT.
The voluntary evacuation notice was given Saturday afternoon at 2:30 PM CDT.
The mandatory evacuation order was given Sunday at 9:30 AM CDT.
The storm hit the Louisiana coast on Monday morning at 6:00 AM CDT.
Bump for the timeline
"MSNBC say that Bush didn't order the National Guard into NO before the hurricane"
Why would he? There was a mandatory evacuation. It wouldn't have been wise to deploy National Guard into the strom. The local government is responsible for the evacuation of the people because the local government controls the city and school buses that need to be used.
Unfortunately, the local and state leaders ran to their ivory towers for safety, and even now instead of helping people they run to the MSM for safety from blame.
God bliss our President.
ping.
Thanks for the ping. PKM, thanks for the ping to the Who's To Blame article.
I'm bookmarking both of these for later read.
Freema - I have decided, personally, that I need to really be knowledgeable about the truth -- "the truth will set you free."
The truth is our greatest weapon. Said simply and matter-of-factly, it usually causes most libs to back down, because all they do is parrot the talking points.
There was a great article in Free Republic a couple weeks back written by a script writer in Hollywood. He was Jewish and a Republican. He said most of Hollywood is liberal and hates Republicans and President Bush but they are woefully uninformed. Basically, they know nothing. And they don't care.
CNN has scrubbed the original article. Glad it got posted here.
They did?
Well .. too late, there were a number of freepers that already saved it
Scrubbed it or changed the text, I believe. My internet connection is slow though, and I had an error on a page I was trying to load that had the link. Perhaps saw something else.
bump
Bookmarked. Thanks.
bttt
Me too, Beth, me too. Silly thing is, it's mostly common sense. But that, armed with the truth, is deadly to RATS arguments. Wouldn't it be funny if Bush made a statement, snuck it into one of his addresses, oh dear, I'm ROTFLMBO! THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE! Gotta go, I think I banged my head falling out of the chair. LOL! But before I go, I just need to D DOUBLE DOG TRIPLE DOGE DARE YOU, W!

you are too funny! have a great labor day weekend. hey, here in sacramento, a local businessman named Gold shut his business down for two weeks and is taking donations of supplies and money and is getting ready to take a caravan of supplies, etc. down to the Gulf in the next couple of days.
Basically if you can keep the windows and roof on your home you will survive. But if you don't get supplies to people within a short time they will begin dieing. That is where FEMA has made their mistakes. Time is too critical to wait to organize a plan, then put together truck convoys, and establish centralized food and water distribution points. That plan takes several days to execute. Hundreds of people are dead in New Orleans because of that plan.
There is absolutely no technical reason why pallets of food, water, tarps, cheap plastic umbrellas, and first aid kits couldn't be dropped by C130 aircraft within a few hours after the storm has passed. Drop one pallet every few blocks throughout the city and people will be able to survive for several days. They may not be comfortable but they will be alive when the ground convoys can reach the area.
After last years hurricanes in Florida FEMA had plenty of opportunities to learn from their mistakes but they did nothing. That is criminal negligence and the leadership should be indicted for felony manslaughter.
