Makes sense.

Finally someone is challenging the myth that the government’s initial response to Katrina was an unmitigated disaster. Deaths were approximately 3% of pre-storm predictions, and by usual standards that would be considered a tremendous success. It was a massive effort, involving evacuating, feeding, and sheltering 800,000 people in about 48 hours. To expect this to go off without a hitch would be typical of partisan Democrats and their cheerleaders in the media.

"I see young people who might have fallen into a hopeless cycle of dependency on government welfare, now finding fulfillment in the hard work of rebuilding New Orleans."

Oh Duncan! Ouch! "Hard work?" You just lost the Katrina Holocaust crowd with that foul comment.

Seriously, he speaks logic and truth instead of pandering to these "victims!" Get up off your butts and build that damn city! You got the money! Now quit crying and work!

FR should publish the Katrina Live Thread!

It shows exactly the time-line, the pressers, orders, weather server predictions, statements, phone calls, everything.

And proves the MSM and NO government have been lying, all this time.

Absolutely true. A while back he was the only republican to speak to a pro immigration group in Florida and they respect him despite his strong border control stance. The man does not back down from a fight or pander for votes.

Hunter ping for the Hunterites.

..IMO the only way N.O. could be saved is for it to first be destroyed—DH is speaking with hope and optimism—like a President should...

[avacado]

He’s a good man. I wish he was our next President. I could sleep at night with both eyes closed and with my hand not clutching my wallet.

At least this one would be w/ a female. That would be a refreshing change.

At least this one would be w/ a female.

So will Hillary's...

Good article, and good points. The main problem now is not $, that has been allocated, it is getting to homeowners. And that is the fault of the “Road Home” program. It’s obviously a hard decision for the federal gov. to administer a program the state gov. should be able to—but that is what should have happened here.

[AuntB]

For every cynic who sees only government as the answer I see people as the answer.

You know, Hunter is really a good writer. Well, dang, he's good at anything he does.

[pissant]

What a breath of fresh air.

I remember that city councilman offering $$$$$..I can’t remember the amount exactly, but it was over $100,000.00 to anyone willing to come back and work to fix their homes....he got little response.
