Brownie with Nuts

How bad is it when even Tony Perkins is criticizing the government?

But the city was slow to get people out to begin with. They had a mandatory evacuation. But there's-this is a city, a big city, a large poor population that did not have vehicles. They didn't provide transportation out. They were stuck in there. They didn't provide the necessary food and water in the shelters.

And then it took the state a couple of days to decide how they were going to start getting people out of there. And then FEMA and their response I think has been a disaster on top of a disaster. I think they are just now getting a grip on this, and we are over a week after this has occurred.

If it were not for the churches and the faith-based organizations and the citizens there on the scene, and some in state government-I don't want to-there were some heroic efforts put forth by citizens and by some government officials that have done all that they can do. But the stories that are going to come from this of the-I think the inept response of government should cause us all to question what we have in place.

It is what the black helicopter crowd has been putting forth for some time now.

It should. I know the area and it's pretty remote if you're trying to rebuild a life or get back on your feet.
