The only thing that Katrina proved was that some cities are simply unable to govern themselves.

The networks will also never wonder if this doesn’t punch a huge hole in their liberalism. If the federal government is a “hurricane of cover-up, chaos, and incompetence,” why should we hand over health care to them?

Another excellent example to use when discussing the impossibility of successful Obamacare.

Nagin’s chocolates made Katrina the most overrated disaster in history, and it seems to never end.

Katrina exposed the soft under belly of the American welfare system. Our liberal, Democrat controlled big cities are filled with people unwilling to pull their own weight.

Bozell is right. Good and decent people in North Dakota and Wyoming are pulling a wagon filled with the “motivationally challenged”.

"None of them can manage to wonder when these "victims" will be responsible in any way for their own housing and circumstances."

None of them can even manage to wonder why those "victims" had never been responsible in any way for their own housing and circumstances before Katrina either. Sloth and Bias just equals more sloth and bias. Different day, same tune.

The left controls the media, and to a large degree, the thoughts of millions of mind-numbed Americans.

I made a drive from Houston to Panama City in Novemver ‘05 just a couple of months after Katrina. Though Miss, there were big tent cities right off the interstate. Right out in the open and very visible. No media coverage at all except local. Coastal Mississippi got the brunt of Katrina.
All the news coverage was on the lower ninth ward.
New Orleans east is about 100 times the size of the lower ninth and got just as hammered. No media there.
Difference, NO East and coastal Mississippi is populated with hard working taxpayers. The upper coast of Texas got hit by a much bigger storm last year and we are mostly cleaned up. There is still storm damage in New Orleans after 4 years.

Elite liberals look on diaster areas like New Orleans (and Detroit, Newark, etc.) and wonder at the “failure” of America to help these people. What they are actually looking at is the failure of government “help” and most of all the failure of liberal policies that ensured those “victims” would not have the resources to get themselves out of their own messes. Let’s see: two thirds of New Orlean’s population made it out before the hurrican hit. Why is it that the other third couldn’t? We know the answer to that.
