You really couldn't paint a sharper picture of the folks that have always cared for themselves versus the folks of New Orleans who for several generations have had the government care for them.

We get floods every year. We have tornadoes every year. Big wind storms and hail. Blizzards and snow up to your ass. We don't have time to wait for the Federal government and never have. We just clean up the mud and get our chain saws or snow blowers out and as Larry the cable guy says, "Get er done."

We are also those illiterate cling to our guns bitter folks that the O man likes to talk about. I heard he pulled his state headquarters out of WI all together. Perhaps even WI Democrats can't stomach the fool. Hope so.

Just heard Rush say that Beware! The Mississippi flood will hit NO in a couple of days....THEN watch the massive media covering ....FOX has been great covering the Iowa floods, but not so the others....but wait...New Orleans is coming.

What an amazing difference in reactions between NO and Iowa. Granted that a hurricane is harder to take than just flooding without the winds, but natures end results are the same more or less. What a marked difference in the way that both places dealt with catastrophe........ Anyone hear Iowans demanding more help?........
