It really is quite a collection of unsubstantiated allegations, leftist cliches, and outright twaddle. If it's conservatism that is responsible for the squalid lives of the black people in New Orleans, then why is it that now that they are here (I'm in Dallas), they are marveling at how clean, hospitable, kind and efficient everyone is? Maybe they're agog because it's the first time they've been forced to venture off the Democratic welfare plantation run by the corrupt clowns in Louisiana and gotten a glimpse of what life can be like when you live in a state built on self-reliance, with a government run by Republicans.
