The U.S rebuilt Japan, Germany after WWII and are now in Iraq. How's the U.S South been doing since Katrina?

Question

Touchy aren't we? Ahh what the hell those "people" had it comin' to them anyway , right? NOT!! By the way if it weren't for the French we probably wouldn't have won our independece a while back my good man. But that's another story.

Touchy...Touchy. Viva la France!

Oh, one other thing. I can't help it. Those non-complainers you speak of live in multi-mil$ villas by their own foolish design. They build too close to the water and guess what? Murphy's Law. They can afford to rebuild. Let the others eat cake or in this case E-Coli. God Bless America. And maybe we'll include France too.

Answer 1

The people from the regions hit by the tsunami can't believe howmuch of New Orleans is still untouched since Katrina. It is an embarassment to the country that government and insurance alike are just abandoning so many people, and leaving so much of the area to rot.

Answer 2

Those projects took over 20 years and we are still there.

The War in Iraq will still be being fought when New Orleans is refilled with all the welfare recipients and they are the murder capitol of the US again. They are getting close to the 1994 levels again.

After all those racist people there voted for the "Chocolate City" mayor, and are now killing each other in record numbers is quite revealing.

And how about if he was white and said some racial slant like that? Where would he be?

If the rate of deaths is more than the death rate of Iraq and libbers want to pull out of there, should we just abandon New Orleans and let the swamp take it back?

Answer 3

Fine, thanks.

The "U.S. South" includes more than New Orleans, La, but you wouldn't know it from watching the media coverage.

Remember. New Orleans did not receive a direct hit from Katrina. Katrina hit east of New Orleans, in Mississippi, and devastated towns like Gulfport WORSE than New Orleans.

Do we ever hear so much as a peep about Gulfport, Mississippi from the press? Of course not. Because it's not about drawing attention to the suffering and destruction, it's about Bashing Bush.

Here's the problem with New Orleans: it was full of about 3 generations of poor, uneducated welfare dependents. And that couldn't have been Bush's fault, because New Orleans, and Louisiana, have been governed by Democrats since the Civil War (and, not coincidentally, Louisiana is the consensus "most corrupt state" in the Union). That's what liberalism will get you: helpless, hopeless citizens.

And so. All those helpless welfare-dependent citizens are sitting around in FEMA trailers, waiting for the Gummint to bring them food and money. If you wait on the federal government, don't be in a hurry.

Mississippi? They're suffering too, but they're getting on with it. They aren't waiting around for someone else to clean up the mess, they aren't Blaming Bush for creating Katrina. They're getting on with it.

Same with Alabama. Mobile is pretty important to Alabama's economy (maybe not like N.O. to La.), and the economy suffers with storm damage. Nobody is drawing attention to the plight of the Alabamians. And the Alabamians are perfectly OK with that. They aren't standing in line waiting for a handout.

Florida? They have hurricanes every friggin' year. I don't hear anybody moaning about Florida.

But then. Louisiana was founded by, and has been very heavily influenced by, France, who is notorious for throwing in the towel. If Katrina had hit France, the French would've collaborated and starting smashing up their own stuff.

Maybe that helps to explain the difference between the reaction of La. and the reaction of the rest of the Gulf Coast states.

Answer 4

Touche! America always seems to be worried about other countries instead of our own. We need it too. So many programs are getting cut due to lack of funding. Let's fund our own country first and involve ourselves in the rest of the world later. I am not an anti-internationalist, but I think we need a period of domestic build-up and I don't mean building more condos.

Answer 5

The U.S. did NOT rebuild Japan and Germany, rather, the U.S. set up systems and programs that allowed the Japanese and German PEOPLES to rebuild their countries!

Answer 6

The White House does not care about New Orleans, it's not profitable.

Answer 7

I heard NO was mostly a craphole and needed a good flood to get rid of some crap anyway.

Answer 8

It is also being rebuilt. Like everything else, it takes time.

Answer 9

the south did not declare war on us, (this time)
