Your memory is failing you, I stated there are no "orange" (#FFA500) cats. And that is not a #FF0000 herring.

This I would suggest is not the letter a liberal would write.
Subject: Letter from Louisiana resident
To my friends and family:


What I have seen since Katrina:

The poor and the wealthy hurt by the storm

Black, white, Hispanic, oriental and Indian all hurt by the storm.

Christian people giving, giving, giving.

Neighbors going door to door helping one another

Thugs and hoodlums going door to door looking for someone vulnerable.

Ice and water being fought over as police tried to keep the peace.

People coming up from New Orleans taking over empty houses because shelters are full

Out of town volunteers coming with food and staying for now a week still serving it.

The Churches all over this part of the country doing what Christians do in a crisis.

The Red Cross doing a great job in the shelters

The Salvation Army doing a great job in the community

Four Hundred crewman from everywhere bring back the power to our homes, churches and businesses.

Lines at service stations a block to a mile long

National Guardsman patrolling the streets of McComb along with Kentucky policemen protecting us from the hoodlums and thugs of McComb, Pike County and New Orleans (the most dangerous city in the world before Katrina).

Drug dealers working outside shelters

Doctors, nurses and other hospital personnel working tirelessly.

WHAT I HAVE NOT SEEN;

The ACLU setting up a feeding line.

People for the American Way helping in the shelters

The NAACP doing any work whatsoever

The American Atheist organization serving meals in the shelters.

Moveon.org directing traffic at the gas stations


I could go on but you get my message.

The gripers in Congress should come on down and get in line to pass the water and the ice.

Are you listening Hillary, Chuck, Teddy and all the sorry loafers we call Senators and Congressmen.

They don't have a clue as to what this life is all about here on the gulf coast, and don't care to find out if it means working.

That's it..wanted to get the truth out...
