Super Bowl Sunday Truth






















This Sunday in Miami the New Orleans Saints football team is going up against the...
what the heck's their name? I forget.

Anyway, over 90 million people will be watching the game.

It might be a good time to FINALLY get the story straight on New Orleans:

1. In 2005, long AFTER Hurricane Katrina passed, the federally built and maintained levees failed nearly destroying the entire city

2. The federal government provided no aid to the survivors of this engineering catastrophe for nearly a week.

Not only that they actually interfered with aid efforts and blocked people stuck in the city from leaving the city. (They don't even do that in Haiti!)

3. Then, instead of protecting the city, the local police - and all the other law enforcement that made it to New Orleans days before meaningful relief did - went door to door, car to car, boat to boat and SEIZED FIREARMS from normal citizens who needed them for self-protection.




Police lost control of New Orleans, so what did they do?

They harassed law abiding citizens and took away their only means of self defense.
