They're getting a helping hand -- it's just not as fast as they want it or as MUCH as they want it. And they not the least bit appreciative of what WE are having to pay for.
Where was HER insurance? Or did she not know she was living BELOW SEA LEVEL? It was an act of God, for goodness sakes; we don't OWE her anything except to do the best job we can as soon as we can.
Quite frankly -- and in case you haven't noticed -- a lot of people are sick and tired of the whining and LIES coming from these people. It's bad enough that they are demanding BETTER than they lived before, but we who are going to end up paying for this have to listen to their continual CARPING about how bad they have it -- and to their LIES about "white people" deliberately letting this happen to them because they are black (see this week's Congressional hearings regarding white people bombing the leeves.)
I live in North Carolina, so don't lecture me about hurricanes; we've had more than you'll ever dream of having; but one thing you don't hear is the people of OUR state on TV whining about how we're not getting the government to replace something we didn't care enough to INSURE.
Your post is racist in tone and I damn well don't appreciate it. I bet I'm not the only one.
The five people you refer to at the congressional hearings were hand picked by Cynthia McKinney, the nutcase congresswoman from Georgia. She picked them soley to further her own racist agenda. We down here in Louisiana certainly don't claim those five as our spokespeople. They are hardly representative of the vast majority of the people down here. There are some nuts and troublemakers down here, no doubt, but there are also a lot of hard working, honest people just like anywhere else. We can't control what the media puts out for the rest of the world to see.
