Just Wondering

[G. Price]

I said this to friends about a week ago. Now I get this in an e mail.
Lib's, Care to respond?

Subject: Fw: Just Wondering?





Where are all of the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons asking for
help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks affected by the floods?

Where is all the media asking the tough questions about why the federal
government hasn't solved the problem? Asking where the FEMA trucks and
trailers are?

Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels
in Chicago?

When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew up the levees
that failed in Des Moines?

Where are Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks?

Where are all the looters?

Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete with reports of
cannibalism and shooting at helicopters?.

Where are the people declaring that George Bush hates rural people?

How come in 2 weeks, you will never hear about the Iowa flooding ever
again?

Just wondering...

Looks like you took it to those LIBERALS again!

Liberals mantra....."If it ain't BLACK..........Stay back!!!!!!"

[G. Price]

Just heard on the news. There is more flooding in Missouri. No loss of life because, get this.... People listened to the warnings and left the area. HMMMM

[a trail rider]

Who was it last week that said something about these floods in the midwest and that it proves only one thing... BUSH HATES WHITES!!!

ROFL!!!

I can't help it folks... The liberal mindset is so self-centered, it IGNORES problems that didn't directly and negatively affect the minorities in our country... It is shameful, but you have to laugh or you'll wanna start blowin' up levees n'crap. LOL

From the RUSH IS RIGHT forum

LIMBAUGH: "I want to know. I look at Iowa, I look at Illinois—I want to see the murders. I want to see the looting. I want to see all the stuff that happened in New Orleans. I see devastation in Iowa and Illinois that dwarfs what happened in New Orleans. I see people working together. I see people trying to save their property…I don’t see a bunch of people running around waving guns at helicopters, I don’t see a bunch of people running shooting cops. I don’t see a bunch of people raping people on the street. I don’t see a bunch of people doing everything they can…whining and moaning—where’s FEMA, where’s BUSH. I see the heartland of America. When I look at Iowa and when I look at Illinois, I see the backbone of America."

Now, I know every limp wristed, self hating, white, liberal, B!tch will find a regressive website that criticies Rush, they always do, but I believe he's NAILED IT pretty good AGAIN!

You're absolutely right. The folks in Katrina had more warning to leave.

Not so fast, Goth... Two totally different situations? Let's consider reality, shall we???

The big problem in New Orleans began when their levees broke and the city flooded.

The big problem in the heartland, covering a massively larger area has been flooding, since some 30+ levees have broken or been overflowed and several cities have flooded as a result.

The differences have been more along the lines of who reacted improperly, and those in N.O. thoroughly created havoc where those in middle America have maintained civility.

In the midwest, I've heard of only a single issue... One man decided to attempt a bypass of a blockade and the cops pointed their weapons at him and took him into custody... Or was that a tornado victim???

Obviosly, the midwest has been through major turmoil this year and yet, there's been no mass hysteria. There aren't rampant murders, shootings, looting, rape, etc. Those things HAPPENED after Katrina in N.O. and surrounding areas.

I've heard few ask "where's FEMA?" and several saying things like, "This stuff happens and we'll survive and move on."

We can debate several things, but the facts in these cases as news coverage has presented simply don't show the same reaction from the people.

Those in the midwest took their warnings much more seriously, and their end result will likely be seen much sooner... to be far better for all.

Obviously the people trying to compare these situations are doing so to denouce the people of NO because they were poor? because they were black? because they had no where to flee to?
I dunno,
What IS your motivation for bringing this up? So we can educate poor urban minorities how to act properly in a disaster by looking to their rural white middle class counterparts?

Sounds good to me. Everyone should have a mentor.

Here is my motivation for bringing this up. I brought this up to demonstrate how rediculous everyone was for denouncing the federal response to Katrina. The federal government was not to blame for N.O. The local governments and the people and their inaction were to blame for N.O. I could care less if they were white, black, purple or green. There was no personal responsibility in N.O.
The midwest is showing the world how Americans should behave in a time of disaster.

Last year we were in Hawaii and went to a luau and were seated with three other couples who were from NO. During conversation, of course the flooding came up and all three couples placed the blame squarely on the state and local goverment, and their lack of inaction and preparation in the years leading up to the disaster and the time just prior to and during the event, and placed minimal blame on the federal goverment.

These were people who lived through this and at the time were still dealing with it, I tend to believe these people with first hand experience over others.

I think your memory of 2005 is flawed.
We have tapes of Bush promising all the help they need, but days after the disaster, FEMA still did not come to the rescue. It was so bad, that regular people had to go in there with food water and rescue boats, while FEMA said "we didnt know all those people were at the dome"

Then Bush gets on tv and pretends we were caught off guard with this storm, he said "no one could have anticipated the breaching of the levees"

until the tape came out of him and others discussing the breaching of the levees beforehand

Bush is a liar, FEMA was full of incompetents, and that was the problem

I've never seen that video, I'd like to, please post it.

I'm guessing you won't.

I think your memory is corrupted with your absolute hatred for President Bush.

You conveniently forget the weather forecasts, the warnings to leave the area, the rows of buses that were left parked, the local residents not doing anything for themselves and demanding outside help, the looting, the murders, the local goverment collapsing, the state government collapsing and then the media and those responsible for the fiasco deciding since they hated President Bush, it was all his fault.

[slow87]

Don't forget the federal aid put in place before the storm even hit. Of course they got overwhelmed by idiots, and couldn't do much.

Nobody is trying to denounce the people of NO. That's an assinine losers way of thinking.

Many of the people of NO reacted like children without parental supervision. Problem was, they WERE adults! SOMEHOW, the people in the midwest FAILED TO ACT LIKE DUMBASSES! And I mean almost all of them failed!

It doesn't matter if your poor, or black... UNLESS YOU'RE A DEMOCRAT!!! And then both those things matter because to a DEMOCRAT, those people NEED to be given special attention, special treatment, special breaks...

Ask yourself what the difference is between a person who lost their home to flooding after Katrina or one who lost their home after the floods in the midwest... NOTHING! They're BOTH PEOPLE! One is no better than the other UNLESS one acts differently in the face of diversity. But the Democrats want to make normal people believe that if one is capable of being called a minority, that one should be given a pass for being an ass. And don't bother keeping in mind, many of Louisiana's residents are WHITE... AND POOR! Infact, whites are more common in LA than are blacks, like probably every other state. But a Democrat will have you believe that the place is made up of poor blacks and they generally don't want to discuss the white majority. In their opinion, those are the ones who have everything, while the blacks have little or nothing. Fact is, that's just not the case.

And I'm not sure what part of America you live in, but as for me, I believe I'm smart enough that I could find my way FROM New Orleans to any number of places within about 6hrs. That is, completely different states. I might make it to Florida in just 6hrs. I could be in Texas, or Mississippi or Alabama, or Tennessee or Arkansas and maybe even Oklahoma... But 1st, I'd have to get off
