Another Rev

It has been mentioned that the Reverend John Hagee blamed Katrina's victims for their suffering. I am not aware of the exact context in which the statement was said, but there is a lot of truth in it.

No, I do not refer to any silly allegation that the storm was a result of human-caused global warming. The reason that some of the victims are culpable is because they elected the liberal Democrats who created a welfare state in Louisiana, causing thousands of residents to embrace the culture of entitlement, which destroys initiative and eliminates the work ethic. The State of Louisiana embarked on a systematic program of disregarding the deteriorating levees in favor of funding indolence and irresponsibility. Families, particularly Black families, were destroyed when fathers were allowed to abandon their children to State support. Mothers were allowed to believe that such behavior was acceptable, that the State was their family, and that there was no need for them to work.

When the storm struck, we saw thousands of Louisianans on TV, looking like deer caught in the headlights, who had been robbed of their skills to fend for themselves by that government they had chosen for themselves, and to which they had foolishly given themselves over.
