New York Times smears Houston

What the New York Times once was, is gone.

Sad, but true.
Their own success went to their head...and it just got too full of hot air.

Long live the Internet.

Nope. I blame the Democrats. The Democrats ran New Orleans and Louisiana for nearly centuries. The only time Louisiana had decent government was during Reconstruction. The Democrats created generations of welfare dependents and made them live in the hellholes of New Orleans. The Democrats glorify crime, violence, and foul-mouthed language as "Black culture". The Democrats elected an incompetent mayor and an incompetent governor. The Democrats can offer no solution to any problem, except, "It's Bush's fault". The Democrats are addled in their thinking and unscrupulous in their actions.

So nice to hear about Houston taking advantage of all those evacuees. What about Las Vegas and Atlanta? It seems Houston might be better off if Nagin saw fit to give every evacuee $200 dollars to spend like he is promissing the city officers and officials. I am sure the casinos, restaurants, cabs and strip clubs in Las Vegas and Atlanta will be looking forward to the influx of NO officials with money to burn.

There is a reason the left is hysterically smearing the good people in this country.

It is because the sight of good, decent Americans opening their hearts and pocketbooks, black helping white, white helping black, American helping American, is not an image they want seen. It flies in the face of their lies and propaganda, of how America is a terrible place and Big Daddy Government is the only one who is looking out for you.

You see, they want to paint America as harsh and uncaring, oppressive to the downtrodden, and rampant with racism.

The truth is just the opposite, and an honest assessment of what is actually happening shows that.

The left see these images of reality as a threat to their agenda of pitting rich against poor, black against white, etc. etc.

So they have to desperately make up any old lie that comes to mind, and hope it sticks.

The good news is that, as they have been doing, they are drastically eroding their own credibility with those who can see and think for themselves. Which is more people than they think.

"Leftists are a disgrace."

More than that, they are the enemy within.

[Milhous]

Is everyone as tired as me of the blame game concerning Katrina?

Leftists tirelessly try to use child "logic" to "win" an argument by making their opponents tired.

unbridled hatred of George Bush has caused Howell Raines and The New York Times to lose all credibility. It's a good thing. When TV Talkers are forced to introduce a NYT article blasting Bush, and have to preface it with, "perhaps not surprising coming from The New York Times...", you know it's now universally recognized, the NYT has devolved into a Bash Bush Tabloid

[abletruth]

Thw NYT is the Al Jerezza of the USA...they are a scum bag paper that wants to smear anything that is even remotely p[ositive about Bush.

For them to write this is an utter outrage. I can not believe they would even think Houston would do this to profit but then again tthe NYT is all about pointing everyone else's problems even though they have had many in the past and it has to do with editorial integrity.

I email the editor alot just to say howe can you call your paper a news paper it is more on par with the STAR at the grocery store check out lone.

The Astrodome was prudently stocked with disaster supplies because nearby Galveston might need them in the event of a big hurricane. Without a thought, Houston stepped up and became evacuation central. It will cost Houston taxpayers a lot of money, but nobody is giving a thought.

So, in Houston you prepare for emergencies by stockpiling food, water, blankets, cots, etc., in the event Galeston needs to evacuate to Houston's Astrodome? Hmmmm...Could it be that Texans consistantly have voted into office public servants who actually can and do govern? Any Texan have any info under whose 'watch' these plans for a Galveston to Houston evacuation were initiated?

Isn't Howell Raines gone? But they've got a very deep bench.

Katrina Happens! Deal with it Liberals and Liberal Media!

Katrina Misses New Orleans, Heavily Damages Mississippi August 30, 2005

How many Katrina Refugees, have you helped New York Times?

The time will come when NYC has to be evacuated, it will come

It wasn't an evacuation, but I recall during the NYC blackout 2 summers ago that a lot of people were worried that there might be looting after dark. We made our way out of the city on our own. We walked down 40 flights of stairs, office workers helping each other and helping to get the handicapped get out. I remember walking for a couple of hours from 48th and 6th all the way down to Wall Street to catch a ferry. On last minute notice the city provided buses and ferries and people were carpooling and giving one another rides and picking up weary walkers and helping them on to delivery trucks. People and officials in N.O. should have pulled together before the storm.

Interesting that Las Vegas is included in Jesusland. How odd.
