Brown Blames 'Dysfunctional' Louisiana

I more than anyone else love to blame the federal government for everything. I am infact, a libretarian and believe in states rights. But what do you want FEMA to do? Overstep states rights?

Gallup Poll Results Blacks vs Whites (literally) on Katrina

USATODAY.com

Then this from www.opinionjournal.com:

Let's look more closely at these two questions, which are questions 14 and 3, respectively, in the poll results. By 60% to 37%, blacks think the government was slow in rescuing Katrina victims for racial reasons; by 86% to 12%, whites do not think so. By 72% to 21%, blacks think President Bush does not care about black people. By 67% to 26%, whites think he does care.

USA Today doesn't give figures for the population as a whole, but let's extrapolate them. At the 2000 census, 69.1% of the U.S. population was non-Hispanic white, and 12.9% of the population was black. Since we have no polling data on Hispanics or other ethnic groups, our analysis is necessarily limited to the 82% of the population that is either black or NH white. This subgroup is 84.3% white and 15.7% black.

Now, let's weight the black and white responses to these questions to reflect their proportions of the population (the percentages given are of the total black and NH white population):

This means that a vast majority of blacks (72%) disagree with a solid majority of the overall population (60%) on the question of whether Bush cares, and a solid majority of blacks (60%) disagree with an overwhelming majority of the overall population (78%) on the question of whether the rescue was racist.

The truth about race that Katrina illuminates, then, is that, at least when it comes to matters involving race, black Americans are extreme political outliers. This is why attempts to play the race card are politically futile: They have to appeal not just to blacks, but to a substantial minority of whites. The Gallup poll results makes clear that the current racial appeals are not resonating with whites.

The US and Foreign Aid Assistance & Military Deployments VS the New Orleans Disaster

The US and Foreign Aid Assistance

You dont really need to read all these graphs but they are here for your reference. In 2004 the US gave $18,999,000,000.00 in foreign aid.

World Outlay of US Troops

The US has 373,000 troops stationed all around the world.

Tsunami Diaster Reilief Statistics

The US has pledged $350,000,000.00 in Tsunami relief and has spent $39,000,000.00 already.

11,443 US Troops are on the ground providing relief support.

VS. New Orleans

National Guard Deployment to New Orleans

1,400 National Guard were scheduled to arrive FRIDAY (5 Days after the Hurricane) with 1,400 more a day until Sunday.

Katrina Relief Package

Congress is set to pass a $10,000,000,000.00 relief package.






All the relief $ in the world isnt going to matter when it is Mogadishu in a major american city. It is total anarcy. Keep in mind there are tens of thousands of people still stranded in the city with no food or water. Lawless groups of armed men robbing Medical Supply trucks and Hospitals. Police throwing away their badges. Rapes and Murders. In the continental United States. You can drive there from anywhere else in 24 hours.

More News from New Orleans

My Way News

(The Blog from New Orleans is the Post Below this one from 9/1.)

After finding out what is really going on in New Orleans. Im pretty pissed with the news coverage. Looting is more than rampant. People are dying because they cant get water. 2000 people are stranted in the convention center with no food water or security. Dead bodies are lying on the floor. This is the USA and we should have seen this coming. Im not going to jump to conclusions, but my initial thoughts tell me not having enough national guardsmen to restore order because they are all in iraq probably has something to do with it.

In addition, im sick of people talking about gas prices like the .30-1.00 increase is the end of the world. We have the Lord of the Flies going on within our borders. Police are looting. Rescue helocopters are being shot at and Nursing Homes taken over by looters.

To be honest, Im just really upset.
