This text is from a county emergency manager out in the western part of North Dakota after the recent snow storm.
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's 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 snow storm
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'Reilly, No Oprah, No Chris Mathews
and No Geraldo Rivera
No Sean Penn, No Barbara Striesand, No Hollywood types
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 snow bound 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 an 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.
It seems that once one ! gets nor th of about 48 degrees North Latitude, 90% most of the world's social problems evaporate because people know that the world DOES NOT owe them a Living

so...you think the government shouldn't have gotten involved in New Orleans?

Hey Hoser, mind asking those ND folk if they want a lil CHEESE with that whine? lol

PAINT YOURSELF BROWN
CALL THEM RACIST
YOU'LL BE RICH SOON

Too bad there were no coleman lanterns in New Orleans. hey?

Man quit talking like a politician. You see, that's the difference between you republican political types and myself. I just want to live my simple life in my cabin in peace while you guys go on and on about how hurricane victims are bad people.
