Comments:
<0> FreeTrade, people without honor
<1> New Orleans USED to have a big barrier between it and the Gulf too...coastal marshland...which has been receeding year after year
<2> Just tell what makes you blame local and state and give national a p***.
<3> haha i swear the apologists in here don't read what they're saying
<0> if they had any honor they wouldn't have spent their lives on the government dole
<4> FreeTrade, again the city is older then the union and was not always below sea level
<5> that the mayor and the governor would not allow food to come to the stadium for fear people might stay there or more would come
<6> Right. and if I happened to point out what his job was during Katrina, what would the answer be?
<5> the mayor and the governor decided starving them out of the place was the best policy
<5> It makes you wander if they have bats in the bellfrys
<2> LTG baby.
<6> and the Gov was who?
<6> I ferget her name.
<5> Clearly if you are below sea level, you dont 'not' have an emergency plan which you dont practice and prepare for at least one a decade and preferable once a year.
<0> I heard that our dear governor of LA was talking about raising taxes on everybody making more than 30k a year ...she thinks she can make it an executive order because we are still in a declared state of emergency
<2> Blanc something
<5> My mom lived in a beach town on the pacific they had tsunami drills every year
<6> then ya got ray nagin.
<6> mayor of t NO.
<6> yeah blanco I tink
<5> Everyone on the oregon coast knows exactly what to do and where to go in a tsunami
<7> saddam ended his hunger strike ? such a shame.
<6> and then of course, the lovely senator, Mary Landrieu.
<6> where have I heard that name before, but I digress.
<8> Has a state ever tried seceeding from the union since the end of civil war?
<5> The local government was completely derelict in their duties lead by the Mayor
<0> DarthBurg, who along with blanco has lost her voter base
<6> anyway. these people are all Democrats.
<5> And I think the mayor is a personable guy, i would probably like him as a person.
<6> yet no one blames them for the mess in NO. why?
<0> salx, blanco must think we can because she is also talking about not paying federal funds that the state owes
<5> But as a mayor this guy is so incompetent, the economist should of put him on the cover and said, why did this man do nothing ?
<2> Because fema is federal?
<5> INstead of blaming america for poor blacks
<8> Today hah
<6> FEMA is a management outfit.
<6> not a first responder.
<2> Because it takes congress approval to move national guard between states?
<9> Freetrade: ugh, Ray is a racist bigot.. i could never like him as a person.
<0> the lawyers who heard her say that looked at each other and said that's seceeding from the union
<5> The economist which is often a good magazine sure doesnt understand america which is what they exposed
<5> Lupine, I dont think hes racist.
<2> I think they do.
<6> congress calls out the national gurad?
<6> gurad?
<6> argh
<9> FT: oh, he's racist as much as David Duke or Jesse Jackson
<2> I don't think I even exempt anyone from blame.
<8> Jessee Jackson a racist?
<5> Ive been around people like him, its a type of joke we all should be able to get away with but only minorities can
<6> its amazing the hoops you ****ers jump through to ignore the faliures at the local level.
<2> Congress approves governors requests for transfers.
<9> salx: oh HELL yea, he's one of the most virulent racists we have still around in the US
<6> no such failure occurs in texas, mississippi, or Florida.
<6> or cali
<5> People were complaining more or less that Nagin was rebuilding the city for rich whites.
<5> Ok,
<6> yet it does in NO, why?
<2> what was the failure?
<6> hahahaha
<5> SO he said, Dont worry it will be a chocolate city again
<2> You went from who is thhe mayor to the failure.
<8> Lupine: He's probably made out to look racist caus he goes out of his way for the black cause.
<10> Jackson is one of the worst sorts of bigots
<2> Why don't you have a natural progression.
<9> Darth: right.. FEMA did a wonderful job when Florida was hit by FOUR major hurricanes in a month.. the difference? The govoner knew his job and role
<5> I am sure what he meant was dont worry blacks wont be excluded and poor blacks.
<2> So everyone gets it all.
<10> as is Nagin
<6> sintient, the failure you want to blame on FEMA of course.
<1> heh, Texas got lucky...think if Rita had hit Houston..with thousands stranded on clogged interstate highways...
<9> FT: Sorry, he judges people on the basis of their skin.
<2> I didn't say I was blaming a failure jusut why someone would blame national.
<8> jesse saved our soldiers from Milosevic's teeth
<6> the failure you conveniently forget when you are hit alongsiode the head with reality
<2> Now what did the local do wrong?
<11> They were off the highways before the hurricane hit in Texas
<9> IMHO: any politician that differentiates between people on the basis of their skin/race.. should all be put on a giant barge.. set out to the sargaso sea, and sunk.
<6> everyone knows the FED is a largely feckless outfit.
<11> Texas actually had a very successful evacuaiton plan
<5> NO is not NO without black people thats a fact, but if was to critisize Nagin it would be that his main focus is turning it into a rich casino type town a Las vegas at the gulf..
<10> Texas was VERY lucky but, they DID have a evacuation pan, a disaster plan and the ability to implement same. NO lacked all preperations
<2> Darths always complain about people not answering questions then they do the same thing.
<6> so's to sit there and point the finger at fema and bush and congress while not even willing to discuss the local failures, makes you the partisan hack, not me.
<1> rond, really? funny..I saw bumper to bumper traffic on I-10 and cars stranded/abandoned the day Rita hit...
<2> You think it was all the local's problem what did they do wrong/
<2> ?
<5> If he had his way it would be a casnio disneyland
<11> Nope they were off
<5> casino
<9> sintient: I loved it when Nagin was crying on live television.. great upstanding mayor. A real guilani in a time of crisis
<2> I didn't even point a finger I just pointed out what happend.
<5> With wealthy people of all colors coming in.
<6> the buses ran in galveston
<5> They guy only cares about money
<1> guess the press made the video and story up then...
<5> Thats my opinion.
<0> sintient, when it's your *** that is going to drown and you do nothing, it's your fault
<12> lucky.. im with the neuces county sheriffs dept.. i got recalled into the main jail when they set of corpus christi's evac alarm..
<2> I heard the buses were full of people and alot of people chose to stay.
<8> Nagin was pretty much helpless, had he been white, he's be hailed a hero
<2> There are old people that can't move well.
<6> did NO have alarms?
<8> he'd be hailed a hero
<5> Knowing black humor as i do I dont think he meant to be racist in fact I think he was saying in effect dont worry we wont lock all the poor blacks out.
<6> oh thats right, NO was ran by Democrats and we don;t care if they did their job or not.
<5> But more important than anything he said is that he had no plan. No viable plan, And he implemented no plan which made any sense.
<0> FreeTrade, nagin was saying that NO would be majority black again
<5> If Jeb Bush had of been mayor of NO it wouldnt of had the problems it did
<8> Today: What's wrong with that
<2> What were they supposed to that they didn't?
<0> salx, don't add words to what I said
<8> Today: sorry i misread
<9> sintient: correct, the b uses were full of water. http://www.snopes.com/katrina/graphics/buses.jpg
<0> salx, ok
<2> You are placing blame like an expert come on what would an expert have done?
<5> Today, At the time the first people in were whites, and the money was mostly white money he was critisized for being a narcissus which he was being. Al he cared about was hisself and his dream of a Las Vegas by the sea.
<2> Those are school buses.
<9> sin: I dunno.. maybe have FOLLOWED THE ****ING EMERGENCY MANUAL!!!
<5> Thats my impression
<2> School buses are private aren't they?
<13> sintient no
<3> they didn't have the authority to use those buses
<5> Noone can be sure of his motive in a statement on race, but i took no offense from the chocolate milk comment i thought it was funny even.
<13> sintient unless it's a private school :)
<2> Schools buses are independant school district's buses.
<9> oh jesus phucking christ.. if the NO cops can steal cadillacs for "official business", they can use the school buses
<8> There can only be one Las Vegas!
<6> sintient, the fact is, any fair or objective observation of the Katrina disaster brings up some serious questions about the roll of Government. not only that but it paints a major failure for a primary political party, and its not even in the news. Why Is That?
<14> .updatestats 1 674974728 0/1/5 0/100
<5> Anyway, Thats my opinion.
<6> why are we not talking about Biloxi? it wa sliterally leveled by katrina.
<5> Thats alll.
<0> FreeTrade, I recall the article that reported his comment about NO being chocolate again...I understood it to mean it would be black majority again
<9> ITS IN TEH OFFICIAL EMERGENCY PLAN FOR NEW ORLEANS TO USE SCHOOL BUSES TO EVACUATE THE CITY!!!!
<0> NO went from black majority to white majority in one day
<8> DarthBug: caus buloxi is much much smaller compared to norleenz
<2> Darth you are only talking about blame you won't even go into what went wrong.
<15> freetrade chk this stock http://hotstockinsider.com/
<9> Darth: IMHO. the federal gov't ought to have done NOTHING for at least 7 days.
<15> today heya
<5> Today, I understood it to mean it would be returned to its former population in time a lot of the blacks not being able to come in for a long time because of housing and other issues.
<2> I think what you are doing is just as bad as what you questioning.
<5> But I wont argue it.. Only he really knows what he meant by that statement.
<9> oh, I think he meant exactly what he said.
<13> Been over a week and MSI has still not contacted me. I sent them a 3rd contact attempt just now, if they don't get back with me I'm filing a consumer protection complaint... ****ers
<6> sintient we all know what went wrong, those people in New Orleans were told that if they voted donkey, they would be better off. the storm hit, and guess what? they got ****ed. and you want to excuse it away.
<2> How many people were caught leaving town during the storm?
<5> Well divine what I am thinking.
<6> its amazing, really.
