>One expects bombast from politicians but...

Reality check: The NAACP is as political as political gets and Julian Bond is a true .... well, that might get me suspended. He just is.

Lance Fairchok has written the first most honest and factual deconstruction of the Katrina/New Orleans mythology that I have seen to date. The article is NOT about Julian Bond, but is is about the irresponsible actions of people who are elected to make difficult decisions and failed.

His description of New Orleans and Louisiana politics is dead on target and his assessment of the entire issue could not be more accurate.

This is a great post worth keeping. Great find and thanks for posting.

The calls of “It’s about time” as initial deliveries of water and food arrived amazed me. There was a full three days of warning for a catastrophe so large it dwarfed all previous and most of the people featured in press stories prepared for it not one iota. They assumed others would care for them, expected it, demanded it and were hostile when it was not fast enough for their comfort. This was the ugly manifestation of an entitlement society.

Worth repeating. Excellent article.

Insanity:

Reelecting the same incompetent corrupt Democrat leaders and expecting different results!

----------

How many new homes has the NAACP built in New Orleans?

How much money has the NAACP donated to the refugees?

Why, after almost 2 yrs is it the Democrat cesspools that remain unimproved while New Orleans neighboring towns move forward, rebuilding and improving their lives.
