Don't know if you've seen this thread or not ... but it is worth a look. The damage IS that bad ...

"Rita Damage to SW Louisiana worse than being reported"

I saw those pictures earlier, and this is what I feared, that all those little coastal towns had been erased. Even though the MSM isn't showing it, it's the only conclusion I could draw based on how far the surge went in, as far north as I-10.

The MSM simply doesn't care. The MSM is lying in wait in Houston, waiting to pounce on anyone returning to the city and ask them to relate their nightmarish experiences in the worst evacuation in history. That's precisely the spin the MSM will try to put on it. Hopefully some Texans will respond accordingly to the questions they'll be asked by these fools, and show those fools what makes then Texans.

The MSM's post-Rita mission is perfectly clear. The reaction of Texas to Rita reveals to anyone with the eyes to see how inept, how irresponsible, and how criminal Louisiana's reaction to Katrina was. The MSM cannot let this utterly obvious contrast be seen by the world. After all, they believe it is their duty to TELL us what we see instead of letting us see on our own. And so they descend upon Houston to drum into our heads, 24/7, that the evacuation was a failure and that it had a myriad of problems. They've all been given their orders, and like robots following their programming, this is what they will do every single day now for the foreseeable future.

This photo is absolutely chilling:

This is Cameron, LA. This looks far worse than what we saw along the Mississippi coast. In Mississippi, you could see the rubble and debris of former houses, like piles of matchsticks. What we see in the photo of Cameron, I can only describe as what a neighborhood would look like if it had been burned to the ground.

And Drudge has as his top headline: RELIEF AS HURRICANE FAILS TO CAUSE DEVASTATION

Matt, what's your definition of devastation? I know the MSM's definition is a breached levee. Where does Cameron fit in?

You're absolutely right, laz. The MSM has their leftist marching orders. Regardless of what they say or do, I have faith that Texans will help get the real story out there - by continuing to show them how it's done ... by picking themselves up, dusting off, and then jumping in to help their neighbors to the east. I'm a displaced Native Texan, originally from the Houston/Galveston area, and I couldn't be prouder of how Mayor White and Gov Perry (Gig 'em!) have handled this disaster.

We've been ignoring the media and leading by example since 1835.

Why should we do anything different now?
