Weather Bulletin...

WEATHER BULLETIN

Up here, in the Northern Plains, we just recovered from a
Historic event---may I even say a "Weather Event" of "Biblical
Proportions"---with a historic blizzard of up to 44" inches of snow
and winds to 90 MPH that broke trees in half, knocked down
utility poles, stranded hundreds of motorists in lethal snow banks,
closed ALL roads, isolated scores of communities and cut power
to 10's of thousands.

FYI:
George Bush did not come.

FEMA did nothing.

No one howled for the government.

No one blamed the government.

No one even uttered an expletive on TV .

Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton did not visit.

Our Mayor did not blame Bush or anyone else.

Our Governor did not blame Bush or anyone else, either.

CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX or NBC did not visit - or report on this
category 5 snowstorm. Nobody demanded $2,000 debit cards.

No one asked for a FEMA Trailer House.

No one looted.

Nobody, I mean Nobody, demanded the government do something.

Nobody expected the government to do anything, either.

No Larry King, No Bill O'Rielly, No Oprah, No Chris
Mathews and No Geraldo Rivera.

No Shaun Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood
types to be found.

Nope, we just melted the snow for water.

Sent out caravans of SUV's to pluck people out of snow
engulfed cars.

The truck drivers pulled people out of snow banks and
didn't ask for a penny.

Local restaurants made food and the police and fire
departments delivered it to the snowbound families.

Families took in the stranded people - total strangers.

We fired up wood stoves, broke out coal oil lanterns or
Coleman lanterns.

We put on extra layers of clothes because up here it is
"Work or Die".

We did not wait for some affirmative action government
to get us out of a mess created by being immobilized by a
welfare program that trades votes for 'sittin at home' checks.

Even though a Category "5" blizzard of this scale has never fallen
this early, we know it can happen and how to deal with it ourselves.

"In my many travels, I have noticed that once one gets north of
about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% of the world's social
problems evaporate."

It does seem that way, at least to me.

I hope this gets passed on. Maybe SOME people will get the
message. The world does Not owe you a living.

Ummmm, I am not sure you have lived in this area. This does not just include the Denver ELITE! I am looking at some who live week to week on good days (some farmers, some ranchers, etc.) Some have lost everything they had to make their living with.

Educate youself on the ENTIRE area before you make BLANK STATEMENTS like that!!!!!

when the main goal of the people of NO is to sit on the porch all day and whine about what ain't nobody doin fer em....then when a storm comes and we ALL see it coming for over a week and you sit on your butt and do nuthing, then you should GET nuthin...

home damage is what INSURANCE is for.....if you don't buy it, then don't complain.....if I don't get insurance on my truck and a storm wipes it out I don't get any debit card to buy a new big screen TV with, nor do I get A YEAR....yes A YEAR....of free motel livin while I sit on my butt and DO NOTHING but complain about the benefits running out....

here in the Dallas area are still 1000s of these lazy losers and the world would be much better off if they just went homeless and froze to death.....yes....you read it correctly....

[Bandera YaYa]

Uneducated persons will always expect to be taken care of. lord knows they can't figure out how to do it themselves....... BUT, I have an important question for you, jill....I watched a marathon of "DOG" this weekend and saw a newer one last nite....my question is "What was Dog in jail for?" It showed him being released and he went into a funk....but never said what happened.....please tell me what's going on?? I remember something about it on the real news ..........thanks.... :D

[lepfan]

He went to Mexico to pick up a rapist/murderer (I don't remember which) that fled to Mexico. It seems there is a problem with bounty hunters and all in Mexico. They were wanting to keep them in prison over there, but they got some higher officials in the states to help get him released. I forget all the details, but that is about it....

Moral poverty cost blacks
in New Orleans

Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions:

What would you do?
What would you do if you were black?
Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer.

To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like.

For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second question. If you're black and a hurricane is about to destroy your city, then you'll probably wait for the government to save you.

This was not always the case. Prior to 40 years ago, such a pathetic performance by the black community in a time of crisis would have been inconceivable. The first response would have come from black men. They would take care of their families, bring them to safety, and then help the rest of the community. Then local government would come in.

No longer. When 75 percent of New Orleans residents had left the city, it was primarily immoral, welfare-pampered blacks that stayed behind and waited for the government to bail them out. This, as we know, did not turn out good results.

Enter Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. Jackson and Farrakhan laid blame on "racist" President Bush. Farrakhan actually proposed the idea that the government blew up a levee so as to kill blacks and save whites. The two demanded massive governmental spending to rebuild New Orleans, above and beyond the federal government's proposed $60 billion. Not only that, these two were positioning themselves as the gatekeepers to supervise the dispersion of funds. Perfect: Two of the most dishonest elite blacks in America, "overseeing" billions of dollars. I wonder where that money will end up.

Of course, if these two were really serious about laying blame on government, they should blame the local one. Responsibility to perform - legally and practically - fell first on the mayor of New Orleans. We are now all familiar with Mayor Ray Nagin - the black Democrat who likes to yell at President Bush for failing to do Nagin's job. The facts, unfortunately, do not support Nagin's wailing. As the Washington Times puts it, "recent reports show [Nagin] failed to follow through on his own city's emergency-response plan, which acknowledged that thousands of the city's poorest residents would have no way to evacuate the city."

One wonders how there was "no way" for these people to evacuate the city. We have photographic evidence telling us otherwise. You've probably seen it by now - the photo showing 200 parked school buses, unused and underwater. How much planning does it require to put people on a bus and leave town, Mayor Nagin?

Instead of doing the obvious, Mayor Nagin (with no positive contribution from Democratic Gov. Kathleen Blanco, the other major leader vested with responsibility to address the hurricane disaster) loaded remaining New Orleans residents into the Superdome and the city's convention center. We know how that plan turned out.

About five years ago, in a debate before the National Association of Black Journalists, I stated that if whites were to just leave the United States and let blacks run the country, they would turn America into a ghetto within 10 years. The audience, shall we say, disagreed with me strongly. Now I have to disagree with me. I gave blacks too much credit. It took a mere three days for blacks to turn the Superdome and the convention center into ghettos, rampant with theft, rape and murder.

President Bush is not to blame for the rampant immorality of blacks. Had New Orleans' black community taken action, most would have been out of harm's way. But most were too lazy, immoral and trifling to do anything productive for themselves.

All Americans must tell blacks this truth. It was blacks' moral poverty - not their material poverty - that cost them dearly in New Orleans. Farrakhan, Jackson, and other race hustlers are to be repudiated - they will only perpetuate this problem by stirring up hatred and applauding moral corruption. New Orleans, to the extent it is to be rebuilt, should be remade into a dependency-free, morally strong city where corruption is opposed and success is applauded. Blacks are obligated to help themselves and not depend on the government to care for them. We are all obligated to tell them so.
