It seems that a lot of people want to point fingers at Bush and the Federal government for their slow response to the mess in New Orleans. I agree that the response has been slow but what did the Louisiana local and state governments do to prepair for this? What have they done to help after Katrina hit? From what I have seen, not very much. The New Orleans Mayor and Louisiana governer are as much or more to blame as anyone else. Mississippi and Alabama were hit very hard too but you don't the same things happening there that are happening in in New Orleans.

I think the biggest lesson to be learned from this whole deal is NEVER rely on the government for your protection and NEVER give up your guns. This is a perfect example how thin that "blue line" actually is.

Why are they shooting the cops? I see where 30% of the NO police dept. has quit. Was watching an interview with a bunch of cops and they were fired on. Makes no sense to me.

Glad to see the Media doing interviews. Think they may have a satallite phone or some grub to hand out. Hey, how about the interviews -- family members looking for each other, aunts, uncles, children. --- Haven't seen any interviews with some concerns for fellow co-workers ????

In my opinion, whether you are a President Bush supporter or a "fat" Mr. Moore lover really does not matter and has no bearing as to what happened in New Orleans.
First, I really want to know why this whole ordeal is being turned into a racial thing. Could we at least wait until we rescue a few people before this crap started. I'll agree that the govermemt's response was maybe (1) day slower than it should have been, but please keep in mind that this is the first time that FEMA has ever had to deal w/ a natural disaster of this magnitude on American soil. How about giving them a little freakin' time to assemble their efforts. Second, the liberal media needs to stop turning this into a black and white issue. I was wondering when this crap would start. I get so sick of hearing about this black and white racial discrimination Bulls*@t that I could Fu#@*ng scream!! If you actually think that the government did not respond as quickly because most of the victims were black, then you are indeed a weak minded idiot. Everyone was warned about the impending danger and had ample opportunity to evacuate. I'll agree that there were some people who did not have the ability or the resources to get out, but for the most part people were just too Got Damn ignorant to realize the danger. On second thought, maybe when the government has taken care of them for generations and they just don't give a rat's ass what happens because the government will take care of that too. Finally, I'll tell you why they are shooting at police officers and emergency responders and why they are raping innocent women and children. The reason is because they are common thugs. It's funny how something like a disaster brings out the true colors in people. Why do you need to steal a plasma TV, a dozen leather jackets or a new Cadillac in a time of desperation?? Is this to feed your kids?? Hell no!! You have ceased the opportunitry for capital gain and are showing your true colors as a common criminal. Shoot all the F*#@ing Looters and that problem will stop. You can then get to more important duties such as rescue operations. Several of us have been blessed. Some of us have spent more money on a car than some people have paid for a home and that is nobody's business but yours. Please just remember all the innocent people who need America's help in New Orleans. I have volunteered my services and will probably be sent within the next couple of weeks to help in relief efforts and to restore order. I'll ask you, Where will "fat" Mr. Moore be during these people's time of need? Will he be pitching in to help the innocent find food, water and shelter or will he be stuffing his fat face w/ another meatball sub inside his $3 million dollar mansion while playing armchair quarterback to something he has no clue as to what is really going on? ![]() Knoxville --------------------------------- 1969 Camaro RS/SS L-78 |

We have become a country of blamers, whenever disaster strikes there will always be somebody blaming somebody else, in New Orleans case you did not need a degree in rocket science to figure out that a storm blowing 150mph+ carrying 20 foot high storm surge waters into an area 17 feet below sea level would create a few problems. Every time I go there and watch the ships cruise by above me I knew eventually this day would come, not a matter of if but when.
So now there is a major problem and we have ole Jesse Jackson on his soap box saying its a racial thing and we have Michael Moore saying its a political thing in reality its a stupidity thing. Im not trying to be harsh but if you were too ignorant or stupid to get the hell out of there then dont complain that you had to spend a week on your roof or up in some tree. You knew it was coming and you knew you had time to get out. Better safe than sorry, just get in your car or on a bus to Oklahoma or where ever and go for a ride till its over. Im sure theres a few who needed real help, but the majority who stayed were either curious, stupid or both. Im interested in seeing if they rebuild the city below sea level again or try to do it right and fill it in then rebuild.
