You are correct in your rant tom. Never hear a collective "peep" from those in Mississippi that were ALSO torn up pretty good by Katrina.
Or those just outside of New Orleans.
In all those other places you hear NOTHING from is because of a WORK ETHIC, Personal Responsibility, and TOOLS!!!! They all rebuilt their homes, businesses, infrastructure, and took care of themselves, and their neighbors.
They didn't "whine" for a handout, pre-paid debit cards, (that were used in strip clubs and liquor stores), or had their houses, and neighborhoods looted either.
Instead of waiting in line "ats da' gubmint bldg' fo my free sh**",, these folks rebuilt their sh** themselves.
If Liberalism is so good, why are the Liberal Cities and states in such ruin? N.O. should be a Lib Nirvana right?
