There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

What prevented Nagin from using those hundreds of school buses after he was explicityly told by Bush to evacuate the city before the stom hit?
Bush warned them all before the stom hit to head for higher ground. Who are you going to blame now for the racism you nasty racist thing? Bush told them to head for higher ground before the storm hit and Nagin let the buses sit. Looks like Nagin doesn't like chocolate if you ask me. It also looks like you like to holler fire in a crowded theater without any evidence except your racist views.

Two days before Katrina landfall:


Saturday, August 27

FEDERAL EMERGENCY DECLARED, DHS AND FEMA GIVEN FULL AUTHORITY TO RESPOND TO KATRINA: “Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency.”

Why didn't Nagin give orders to use the school buses to evacuate people? You have yet to address this issue because you are too busy trying to prove racism in the government which you have also yet not done. Please proceed.

Blanco takes blame:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/...in798819.shtml

According to your theory, the governor is a racist also. Everyone's a racist it looks like. You're a racist. Liberal theology: When short of arguing points, call people racists. Hey, if it works for you, it works for me. The state is always the first responder and they did not respond because of Nagin and Blanco.

The buses were certainly a mistake that could have saved many lives in hindsight.

There was no hindsight in the fact that it took our government a week to get aid to the victims when cleared to do so days before the hurricane hit.

I see your point and it is a good one. Nagin should have evacuated earlier but the city still had 24 hours to get out. That should be enough time to take a few cherished possessions and get the hell out if you can.

A week to get aid to victims is unforgivable.

And the boss was fired. There was no racism proven. So according to you first statement, Nagin is a racist.

Why is Nagin a racist? Because he mentioned a "chocolate city"? Are we really that juvenile?

How would you feel if a white man said he wanted a vanilla city? Are we really that dishonest? You would have had a media feeding frenzy led my Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson like we've never seen before. You sound like the juvenile around here.
