Louisiana has been under Democratic rule for over 40 years. It's clear that democrats have failed miserably in Louisiana.

Clinton actually said yesterday that Katrina was a good thing because it showed people that they need the government. This is indicative of how the left thinks. Make people dependent on government hand outs and get their votes. Interesting how that works.

Be careful what you accuse the left of because we (the right)are now giving out bigger handouts than the democrats ever did.....;)

WPA boy I heard stories about that. Can't hurt to get the welfare recipients to work now can it?

Louisiana has been under Democratic rule for 40 years? Try more like 130 (since Reconstruction)--it's a legendary, entrenched multi-generational corrupt government. It's the same Democratic government that gave us Jim Crow and Huey Long, most notorious for the "vote for the crook--it's important" campaign slogan.

The federal government finally rejected, and the Courts rightly enforced the Fourteenth Amendment in overturning, segregation in the 1950s and 1960s. The Democrats, ever desperate to perpetuate their corrupt regime, then moved the African-Americans into "welfare," a system that probably sounded attractive to the downtrodden and destitute but which entices people to make bad decisions and rewards the resulting failures, insidiously trapping its victims in a multi-generational cycle of failure while harvesting their Democratic votes.

Clinton of course spoke the truth yesterday, that "Katrina is a good thing," and that's irrefutable, especially because "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is;" in this case, as usual for leftist gibberish, "is" means "is not." Well, maybe not. Katrina finally may push some of these victims of the welfare regime off the Democratic plantation by compelling them to get jobs and make decisions that result in a cascade of success rather than another generation of subsidized failure.
