Iowa floods

[MTUpower]

Here's some flood for thought...


These are some really good pictures of the actual flooding in Iowa and I think a lot of them are of downtown Cedar Rapids, Ia.

MAKES YOU THINK

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IOWA (THE HEARTLAND OF AMERICA ) AND
NEW ORLEANS ?

NEW ORLEANS KNEW THAT A HURRICANE WAS COMING AND CHOSE TO DO LITTLE ,
THEN EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TAXPAYERS TO REBUILD THE CITY AND
THEIR HOMES BETTER THAN THEY WERE PRIOR TO THE HURRICANE
IOWA JUST WATCHED IT RAIN AND DEALT WITH IT.


Where are the Hollywood celebrities holding telethons
asking for help in restoring Iowa and helping the folks
affected by the floods? Where is good old Michael Moore?

Why is the media NOT asking the tough questions about
why the federal government hasn't solved this problem?
...Asking where the FEMA trucks and trailers and food services are?
Why isn't the Federal government moving Iowa people into free hotels in Chicago and Minneapolis ?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal government blew up the levees that failed in Des Moines ?

Where are Sean Penn, Bono, and the Dixie Chicks?

Where are all the looters stealing high-end tennis shoes, cases of beer and television sets?


When will we hear Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a 'vanilla' Iowa .... because that's what God wants?


Where is the hysterical 24/7 media coverage complete
with reports of shootings at rescuers, of rapes and murder?
Where are all the people screaming that George Bush hates
white, rural people? My God, where are Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Oprah, and Ray Coniff Jr?

Where are the government bailout vouchers? The government debit cards?


There must be one hell of a big difference between the values of the people of Iowa and values of the people of Louisiana
