and "could have been prevented with faster government response."
This is so sickening. There aren't even words.

Posted: 9/5/05 at 3:03pmOh, there are words - but they would at the very least get this thread deleted - and possibly even arrested.

Posted: 9/5/05 at 4:01pmI just got back from London and the TV coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the flooding in New Orlean is 24/7. There is a lot of Bush bashing going on over there (deservedly so) and there is a loy of praise for the national guard members. Yesterday the first Brits returned to Gatwick and they were interviewed. Very emotional. They expressed their fears and the filth to which they were exposed to for days. There is a lot of eampathy for the American victims and a lot of anti-Bush sentiment.

I heard an airboat owner from Florida on the radio today. He said, "We KNOW how to get in and get out during hurricanes."
But FEMA won't allow them into the Gulf Coast.
So maybe Greg4Life will somehow blame this on everybody but the Federal Government, BECAUSE KARL ROVE SAYS SO????

I haven't posted yet about Katrina, but...
Last night I was watching CNN and, even though I knew this, it really never took full effect until I saw it...
That is, the most sickening part of this whole thing is how the so-called "minorities" are the ones left on their own.
Maybe 93% of the people on TV were black...now that is the worst thing.
Talk about discrimination in its purest form...
