As of a few minutes ago, Louisiana has SIX (6) deaths from Hurricane Ida, while the New York, New Jersey, Philly area is reporting 29 deaths already.  Does this say something about the intelligence and survivability of good ole, conservative, southern folks when compared to liberal dimokrap, “feed me, cloth me, house me” people.  I think so.  Terrible situation for both areas, but a very telling statistic.

Well, yes and no.  A lot of those killed were when water came gushing into their basement apartments and they couldn't get out.  Also, the Northeast doesn't get a lot of tornados or deadly hurricanes, particularly inland where most of the damage occurred, so they weren't prepared.  People got stuck in flooded streets.  

But I can tell you a big difference.  The people in the Northeast will wait for FEMA and the Red Cross and what other organizations that will show up.  But here in the South, people do not wait for the official help to arrive - people, your neighbors and strangers, will be at your house helping you before the official help arrives.  They will be feeding you, feeding the helpers that are helping you, people will be in Walmart buying up supplies to give you or the church to be distributed.  I remember when Sandy hit in NJ, my sister, who was living there, told me that she ran into a group from Alabama, that had driven up there to help - to join whatever efforts were already going on and they didn't find anything.  

It's a much different culture.  Like the South, it has its good points and bad points; but people just aren't as help oriented there as people are here.  A couple of months ago, I hit a pothole and it cut my tire which went flat.  As my husband and I messed around with it - a man from a closeby house came out and insisted on changing the tire for us.  I offered him money for his help and he refused; but I insisted and told him to donate it and he reluctatantly took it.  If that had happened to me up in the Northeast, someone would have offered to call 911 for me.

And those of us raised and always lived in the south just assume help will always arrive, or will be offered by us.  While it definitely is a Southern tradition, an interesting thing occurred in New Orleans during H. Katrina.  Well over a thousand people died during the floods in NOLA, primarily int the 9th Ward.  Those people died because they were the ghetto liberals and they sat on their butts waiting on gubment help to arrive—-which never did, till they were dead.  My point:  It’s the liberal idiot mindset that says, “Duh gubment will save me, feed me, etc.”  Interesting result:  When gubment help finally arrived they were all loaded on busses and sent to Houston, TX, and many wouldn’t come back to NOLA….they liked the welfare in Houston.  Houston residents didn’t like what the city gubment did to them , inviting the thousands of NOLA welfare to move to TX!

   It is an old Southern thing that in emergency our people will pick up a paint brush, a chain saw or a rifle if needed!

While the ghetto liberals were drowning, George and daddy were fishing in flooded downtown New Orleans.

That's called making lemonade out of lemons.  Nice fish by the way.  Sadly for you GHWB was in a wheelchair when Katrina hit and the flooding and deaths were a result of corrupt Democrat politicians in New Orleans....but otherwise it's a stupid meme.  Leftists just can't meme worth a flip.
